Mig240

Hey im sort of new to the whole scene so this might sound like a nOObish question so here goes....

I got a 12W7 in a JL sealed pro wedge box for a really good deal, but now i need an amp for it. now on the JL site it says its a 3ohm sub :s
I want to power it to its potential so i want a minimum of 750W going to it.

Now does that mean i have to find an amp that will push at lest 750W rms at 3ohm's?

Any help would be appreciated,
thanks

What kind of budget do you have for the amp?

Well i was mostly looking at used stuff....in the 2-300 dollar range

you need a big amp with alot of power to make that 12w7 happy. something that cheap probably won't satisfy it.

check the for sale section, a thread titled JL Audio

i agree...very unlikely you'll find a amp in that range to get the most out of those subs. but the amp i would put on them is the alpine PDX 1000.1. they go used (if people wanna part with them lol) for around $500 depending on your location.

if u look around for a ultimate t3 1000d you CAN find them for 2-300 dollars,they have more than enough grunt for your needs(about 1600w rms @ 3ohm's) but they need a good steady power supply. i got 2 of 'em a year or so back off of e bay for less than $200 ea. shipped to my door
