i just bought a JL Audio 12" sub. no wire or box just the sub.

so how much do you think im going to have to spend to get the sub in a box wired and a amp to power it.

That would depend on what series the sub is

so you need an amp, a box, and a amplifier hook up kit, specs would help us out a lot, if you lived in florida i could it for cheap, but since your not i will try to help you out a lil bit,

300 watt mono block amp
12 in subwoofer box
4g wiring kit

that should do it, jl makes awesome subs

its a JL Audio VRC 12W0-8. well i check box prices the one i like it 68 bucks.

how much for wires and a 1000Watt Amp?
Which company should i choose for wires and amp?

[a96710]

Isn't the W0 only like 125 watt rms sub?

There's an optimal power range chart for all their subs...looks like they work best with around 125 watts

thanks for the info!

Let us know how it bumps. go with a Amp that is around 500-1000 Watts peak and that won't really overheat. Kenwood is pretty durable and cheap i would say. As far as kits just don't get small wires.

i went to ultimatelectronics todays. the new Rockfards come out in 2 weeks. are to price less then alpines top of the line and same quality as them to. so ill probably get a 1000W Rockfard.

im going to custom build a box for it. i just need to get some wood.

3/4" MDF (medium density fiberboard)

yea. i know what to make a box out of. im not a complete moron on speaker systems. but thanks for make sure!

yeah rockford makes a kick ass amp.... and they pump so nice with JLs, i know a kid with a escalade who has 2 W7s 13.3s, plus its bagged with like 22s on it... its nice... he was at a sound competition against this old skinny guy and lost, but the guy he lost too, had a chevy heavy duty with a cap and the whole back was filled with subs (16 MMatts) and a shit load of amps. and like computer things, i couldnt tell what they were, he closed the cap to fast... but it was nice....

[IALuder]

^^nice. we got people like around here to. all about the bump in the trunk. i just a thump. to make people go DAYUM what does he got.

[AkimboStylee]

i dont like the newer jl subs, the owms are all screwwy, 6 ohms and 3 ohms, what kind of crap is that?

[IALuder]

i like them. those and alpine type R subs. those are the only two type of speakers i will ever buy. i will probably get a alpine amp to. i may possible even sell the JL for a t12" Type R.

but time will tell after this weekend.
