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.

a96710 · 03-20-2004, 11:20 PM

That would depend on what series the sub is

AkimboStylee · 03-21-2004, 01:08 AM

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

IALuder · 03-21-2004, 11:48 AM

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 · 03-21-2004, 12:06 PM

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

IALuder · 03-21-2004, 08:48 PM

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.

IALuder · 03-24-2004, 03:06 PM

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.

AkimboStylee · 03-24-2004, 03:52 PM

3/4" MDF (medium density fiberboard)

IALuder · 03-24-2004, 10:17 PM

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

B16DoHcCrx033003 · 03-24-2004, 11:07 PM

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 · 03-24-2004, 11:10 PM

^^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 · 03-24-2004, 11:31 PM

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

IALuder · 03-24-2004, 11:34 PM

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.
