Are these amps class D amps?

 

show me a picture of one and I'll tell you.

Come on! Nobody knows. I know JBL is a popular amp.

 

Yes, ALL the monoblock JBL amps are class D! all the way from the 150.1 to the 1200.1!

 

What do you suggest for a 10" Kicker CompVR sub in a small sealed enclosure? 150.1 or 300.1? I think the 300.1 might be overkill for 1 sub.

 

hehe... doubt it!

I don't know Kicker that well, cause I never liked them. But depeding on the coil configuration, the 300.1 would be a good choice. It does 150x1 @ 4 ohms, and 300x1 @ 2 and 1 ohm.

 

I'm not trying to get attention from a block away here. I'm just using it to fill in some bass.

 

Same here. Cept, I'm pushing 2 12s with 500W to each. I could very well "wake up the neighbours", but it's always easier to turn down the bass, then it is to turn it up! I'm setup with SQ in mind, I could run a flat curve (bleh, boring), but I bump the bass up a little to fill it in for daily driving, and I can safely raise up the two left bands if I wanted more bass. It's always better to have more power then you need. Heck, my subs are rated at 350W each, and at full output I'm feeding them 500W each!!!

I rarely have them playing at full though, My gains were set with everything flat, and I usually have the slider for my low frequencies held pretty far down. It's just good to know that I can bump it when I want, and not have to worry about distortion or clipping. Besides, your single ten won't be giving out record SPL numbers, if the sub can handle a good 250W, and you can wire it to 2 ohms, I'd say take the 300.1. Actually after a quick look at the CompVR spec sheet, a 300.1 is perfect. Well, you could even slap on a little bigger. Since it's either DVC2 or DVC4. Although, if you have the DVC2, and may think about later adding another sub, I would suggest wriring the sub to 4 ohms, and using the 600.1 !! Otherwise wire it to 1 ohm, and use the 300.1 !

Same applies if you have the DVC4, wire it to 2 ohms, and use the 300.1 !

JBLs are nice amps, I personally used to own a 300.1, recently sold it. If your not to familiar with other amps, the crossover is kinda tricky. Very badly marked, and it's a guessing game! Apart from that, it has a straight forward gain ****, as well, as a 0-18db bass boost (be careful with it....)

Anyways, good luck!

 

Thanks, I think I will get the 300.1. It's $125 on Ebay!

 

hehe, that's how I started too...

you'll be hooked for life now buddy
