okay....so ive been thinking alot...and i really want to get Jl audio subs.
i want to get W7. now im either gonan get three 10's or two 12's they will be w7's and i have yet to decide what amp to get. my only question is how hard will three 10's actully pound? i want to be able to atleast pound a little....like so you cna hear me coming from a lil bit away. i know the 12's will be much louder and pound more, but i really want to get that tight clean punchy bass so any feedback would be great! --------------------  KB |

With the W7's in 10s you're gonna do just fine. Since they run 500 RMS then you're gonna want a mono amp class D and just run the wiring for them both together.
As for hooking them up, you just get an amp wiring kit and run it off the positive of the battery under your hood. If you're worried about your power then get a capacitor to store the extra power you'll be using so that your lights don't dim every time the bass hits. lol. --------------------  |

DO NOT DO THIS!! haha this is why you pay a shop to install systems.... physics is very important  ok let me try and walk you through this.... the W7's cannot be wired to ONE amp... you need TWO.... unless we step back and redo all of the electrical components like we said before... the w7's are 3 ohm subs <-- yeah i know, so dumb, nothing is rated at 3 ohms these cannot be wired in parallel because it will drop your resistance to 1.5 and i have yet to find a cheaper amp that can handle anything below 2 sufficiently, either the distortion is ridiculous (blow your subs) or they draw so much power at 1.5 that even a cap won't do, you'll have to redo electrical (kenwoods are notorious for this, even at 2 ohms) Series is also not going to work cause i do not know of any sensible amps that put out over 1000 watts at 6 ohms... so either buy two amps, one for each sub or find a new sub.... -------------------- Breaking Axles...
