Hey guys, I recently bought a new amp RF3002 which does approx. 350 RMS according to birthsheet. I had them hooked up to 2 JL 12W0's but they seem to distort too easily. Can anyone recommend efficient subs for that little power? 12's or 10's or 1/2 will do as long as it can handle the power. I was recently shopping and listened to 2 10" phoenix gold R's and they sounded pretty damn good with 350 rms. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

the W0 should pound you... I think pinhead is onto something, HU distortion (turn down the bass boost), amp distortion (turn down the amps gain) wrong size box/ port. Are the subs used?

There aren't many other subs that are as efficient as the W0's

w zeros arent exactly power monsters, and they are excursion limited, more of a low priced sq sub than an spler
