Getting the 10w7 in a JL HO box on Saturday and also coming with a JL Slash 500/1 amp. I have a MTX TC6001 amp right now and Im just wondering if the quality of the JL would be better than the MTX even though the MTX is 100 watts more powerful? What do you guys think? Im going to sell one and keep one.

 

well the 10 w7 is a single 3 ohm sub, so the jl 500/1 will give it the full 500 while the mtx will give it a little over 450 at 3 ohms.

 

So the JL amp actually does 500 watts rms at any impedance between 1.5 and 4 ohm? I wasn't exactly sure what that meant but if thats the case then yes, the JL would be the best choice. I would assume a bit better quality in sound as well.

 

mtx TC amps sux. lol i dont like them. they are bulky. no variable subsonic filter. dont know what frequency you put the LPF also. but thats me lol

 

The jl one will be a better choice. It will prolly put out a better sound. If set up Properly.

 

Ok, I figured the JL would be a better amp sound and quality wise but I wasnt sure of the power output and at what impedance. I will just sell my MTX amp then, should be able to get 100-250?? They go for $480 at Future shop right now.

 

Keep it and have the JL to compare to.... sell the MTX or return the JL based on that. I doubt that there will be a huge difference.

 

the JL500/1 will draw about 35% more power from your electrical system to make the same power as the MTX. I'd go with something that's designed to make about 1000Wrms into a 2ohm load, it;ll give you pleanty of power, a little headroom and be easier on your electrical system that the JL amp.

Their biggest downfall is they make more heat than power.

 

Nope, their biggest downfall is that they are massively overpriced in Canada.
