JL audio JL500/1 500 watt amp for $549.99 and a 10'' JL audio W7 for $549.99

total is $1,100 + tax...:/

is this worth it ? is there better stuff out there for less money or is this setup really good?

 

what happen to your type x fool? get an www.adireaudio.com brahma 12.or a nice Resonant Engineering xxx. you cant go wrong with a JL amp but you could find better. so i guess your looking for sq?

 

haha na thats gone dude. im looking for good sound and a lot of bump.. the brahma 12" is $379...and it says it has 1600W RMS, 4800W peak..if i only get the 500 watt JL amp? then what happens?

 

then... u port the sucker and be amazed!

 

hell yeah, read my post ("This has been talked to death but...").
On the adire web page right where it gives you the power rating, it also say
"This is just a thermal rating, full output can be reached with significantly less power."

Get the brahma and get a ported box like 1.5'^3, or a sealed box about 2.1'^3 this way you get full output with around 500wRms. (well actually you'd have to double check the exact dimensions with someone that knows more about boxes, but you get the idea)

Slick...you think you can help me with my post?

 

Actually, I'd have to say no. You can go down and get a Memphis 500/1D amp for around $450, and a Memphis M-Class sub 10" for $120 ea and still get the same amount of bass as that JL will put out. Plus with the extra money from the sub you can probably get 2 in a vented Memphis box for still less than that sub would cost.

 

Eh for that much money on One w7 Im half tempted to offer you my Two TDX 12s....

 

You can get a used JL 500/1 for $300. Save you some money if you go used.

 

id take 2 tdx's over a w7 anyday. hey don how dos the tdx perform in ported box tuned to 30hzor below? ive rarely heard anything about this sub and im just curious?

 

polo ported out his tdx's, i hear that **** pumps with no clipping with full volume

 

They sound beautiful in the TL box DA designed for them...



Now..get em sold for me

 

kevin's (kpr10is) roomate has one but is building a sealed box. when he gets done with it and i hear it, i may need one...

 

Back away from the JL 500/1. Check out their input sensitivity ratings. The thing makes full power with hardly any input voltage. It appears this amplifier was only designed to dominate the sound display board. I would look for an amp that has more headroom than the 500/1

 

What exactly do you mean? which others good amps are there..im thinking either alpine or JL amp.

 

there are plenty of good brands for amps. all depends on the price range.

on this site it says that the 12" and the 10" have the same power output and there is only 30 dollar diff...would you reccomend one 10 or one 12? like whats the diff??

 

did you notice they are back ordered??? id pick the sub based on the amp and what size type box you want. if you want more spl go with the 12 ported. im kind of curious as to how 1 10" brahma ported is.

 

how about the Shiva..its a lot cheaper..is it still bumpin?

 

Definately agreeing with this, dont get an amp that will fit your sub. First pick the amp, THEN the sub. This is why different impedance levels are available.

And yes theres a ton more amps available that are ALOT better than the overpriced and overmarketed JL,Alpine,etc

well what about a Jl 500/1 amp and a Adire Shiva sub? hows that setup in your opinion?
