Amp for JL subs HELP
I am looking at setting up a new system (last system just got stolen). I am
using Infinity Kappa tweeters, Kicker mids and midbasses, Rockford Fosgate 400a4 and 800a2 amps with 3 JL Audio 10W6s and a Lightning Audio 1 Farad Cap. They left my speakers and stole my subs and amps, so I have to start over. Here is the question I am going to run 2 JL 12W6v2s so they can be wired at either 1 or 4 ohms. So I am looking at purchasing an amp to push these. So far it seems the options are A/B class amp that is around 200-250 x2 or a D class amp that is around 1000x1. Brands I am considering include Kicker, Phoenix Gold Tantrum and Octane, Soundstream and Hifonics. To be more specific: Kicker KX800.2 200x2 or 800x1 (4 ohms) Kicker KX1200.1 1200x1 (1 ohms) Phoenix Gold T1200.1 1200x1 (1 ohms) Phoenix Gold R15.0:1 1000x1 (4 ohms) Soundstream Tarantula TR880/2 220x2 or 880x1 (4 ohms) Soundstream RUB1000-2 200x2 or 1000x1 (4 ohms) The amp for my mids and highs I am plannin on runnin between 50x4 and 80x4 (4 ohms) and am considering Phoenix Gold, Precision Power, Kicker, and Soundstream. Any opinions or experience with any of these or anything related would be greatly appreciated. I havent kept up with all the stereo stuff in a few years, so not sure if all of the same old brands are still good or if any new ones are better.

Amp for JL subs HELP
maybe I should clarify this...the insurance company is kind of screwing me and
I dont have $1000 to spend on one amp. So I am trying to get a good deal online somewhere...I know there are risks, but I have had good luck with amps in the past and unless I want to buy **** that is my only good option (knock on wood). Nathan Atlanta, GA '93 Land Cruiser '95 Supra Turbo |

If you want good bang for the buck, look at JBL, Kicker, MTX, Rockford. All
of these are really good amps at decent prices. Less cost than JL amps and more power in some cases. The JBL 1200.1 is a great amp for the money.
