i have this JBL BP 600.1 amp.

http://www.jbl.com/car/product.asp?p...er=POS&cat=AMP


i was wondering what one good 12" sub would be for this amp to really make it bump. im lookin more for quality...im not a hardcore bass head, but i do like some bass. not lookin to spend a lot of money, but a decent amount....maybe $200 or so. If any of that makes sense, help me out.Thanks.

I've got the exact same amp as you pushing an Alpine Type R (12, DVC). I guess we kinda like the same sound, I'm not a basshead at all. I just like the accent, but it'll pound if I turn up the bass. Try either an Alpine or Infinity Kappa Perfect. If you are gonna wait, I'll be there in a month and you can listen to mine

for sure dvc, i have 2 12 infinity kappa perfects in my audi with audiobahn 1200 watt amp, sounds great......i have 2 10 aluminum audiobahns in my maxima with same audiobahn amp. sounds even better than the perfects.

I have to agree with KlownPR, for the price of the Type R and the sound, you cannot go wrong!

I'm definately leaning towards the Type R. Thank you for all your help.

I personally like the ED 12K.44 http://www.edesignaudio.com/ep/kspecs.htm
or the Adire Shiva http://www.adireaudio.com/mobile_aud...vers/shiva.htm

Or the IDQ 12 from Sounddomain

Good choices... also keep in mind that if you do get a dual 4ohm sub... well, with this amp you can always add a second ohm to run it at 1 ohm later on... or if the single sub is loud enough or too loud, it much easier to turn it down then it is to turn it up. Keep in mind though if you do plan on running it all out, there aren't many sub in your listed price range that will handle 600W daily!

I would definatly take either the K or the Shiva over the Type-R. Either one would blow the R out of the water.

Why??



And again I must ask...Why?

Because, people assume that you HAVE TOO run an amp at full capacity! (sarcasm) ...

Didnt you know that if your not pushing the amp to its limits that its not going to work 'properly'. (sarcasm again! )

Anyways, in all seriosus, it doesnt make too much of a difference in running it at 4, 2, or 1 ohm (apart from power). This amp doesnt heat up all that much, and THD isnt all that noticeable in sub bass frequencies. Although, as Pearl96Max stated, 'Why?' do you need a DVC sub? If he bought a 300W sub, he wouldnt need 600W for it. It wouldnt hurt it if it was setup well, but why bother. May as well run it at 4 ohms on a single coil sub. Or get a dual 2 or 8 ohm of the same sub. Either way, DVC subs are to allw for various wiring configurations, the number of coils will depend on the power limitations of the sub!
