i suggested the JBL because i KNOW its a solid amp. i had that amp in my car, and have installed a couple for my friends.

that JBL amp will push those type Rs nicely. its rated at 600 watts x1 @ 2 or 1OHM.
As is usually the case, WiLL is right. And by the way Willie, it does that wattage at 2ohms. It can play at 1ohm, but it will be unstable and actually won't increase the output at all.

So, Phat8186, the reason I am saying that JBL amp is better is not because it's a mono amp, it's because I have one in my car, the BP300.1 and I know for a fact that these amps are worth the money and can push some subs very nicely. They are probably the best bang for the buck, I mean, 600 watts rms for $175, and it's a quality product, you'd be hard pressed to beat that.

that amp does fine at 1OHM. it wont increase the output but it will do 1OHM all day long.

i had my pair of 12w3 pounding from oakland to sac and coming back. the amp was hot as hell, but did it fine. i really liked that amp h:

maybe im just underpowering my subs and the amp is trying too hardh: But it's cool though, cause I have a Lanzar OPTI500.1 waiting on deck, but that damn beast is gonna blow my subs
