I am new here but I have to say that I suggest powering it with the proper amp. I had a 500w sub (I don't want to admit that it was a kenwood, but I guess I just did), and it wasn't nearly as effective as my 300w pioneer sub powered by the same amp. Possibly Pioneer just makes better subs, but I would suggest getting the proper amp/sub mixture.

Well the amp puts out 600+rms.... and sub is rated at 675rms..... I doubt It would be an issue.... but we will have to see....

Point them away from you for less cone noise. These subs have more rattle-bass than sound-bass, youll know what I mean. LMS is nice but I think it makes them less punchy on long basslines, and they're constantly hovering around 35mm excursion.

It sounds like a good match sorry I didn't catch the wattage before.

600W @ 1ohm, 2ohm, 4ohm? Those woofers are single 4 ohm ONLY. You're wasting your time if you bought two, (they'll see a 2 ohm load), with an amp that does 600W @ 1ohm, you'll be getting 300W, between two subs. You want more than 150W per sub. Even if it's 600W @ two ohm, 300W per sub isn't enough. Not a good match.

OK sir, people that don't pay attention are not my type of people, so read carefully now.... READ the thread or at least most of it before typing anything... even if you read the first post you will know I'm using jl 500/1 this amp puts out 600rms+ at 1.5-4ohm... second thing is that I bought two cuz the person was selling two- I am going to use one and maybe experiment with the other one or maybe sell it i dunno yet since i didn't get it yet.... therefore my setup is going to consist of one jl 500/1 and one SW8200 .... good enough match?

ps: I assume you meant to write- 450W or more cuz if its 150W or more - your post doesn't even make sense....

That amp puts out the same power at 1.5, 2, and 4 ohms?

If you have to wire up one SW into 4 ohm (500/1 not 1 ohm stable), I thought that amp would be way down on power. What an amp.
