This one vs Jl Audio Jx500? I need to push 2 x 8W3V3's wired for 2 Ohms. (Also is 500w enough?)

I love this amp so far. It's small but very powerful. The positive reviews say it all and was the main reason I got it. I'm pushing 2 10" kicker comps at 2 ohm. You should have plenty enough power.

This amp will push them nicely. Amp actually pushes closer to 600 watts, better than rated so I would be careful. Your subs wont handle the full 250rms they are rated at continuous

yes it should be the right amount of power. there is no sense in spending the extra money on the jx500 unless u have to have matching products. mrv m500 is great quality and more then enough power. get it that would be a perfect match.

yes this amp would be perfect... 500 rms amp pushing 2x250rms should be good... you want the amp rms equal to the total sub rms

I'm pushing 1, 10" kicker and it's more than enough. I bought it with the thought of adding a second 10. I'm tuning it at 2ohm.

Yes. The jl audio w7 is rated at 750 rms at 3 ohms. Usually. Depending on your vots you should push all 750 watts at 14.4 volts. If however your battery isnt strong enough and say your volts is at 12.5 you may not push 750. You may can modify your w7 to 2 ohms and push all 1000 watts im not sure. But yes, I would say this amp is just as good as the jl slasher 1000. If you have the extra money I would get a memphis 1000. They are 430 bucks new. But if you dont the jx 1000 should be plenty for the w7 12 inch.

Hi, you should have no issues at 8 ohms. Used a dozen of these for an install last year and they sound great, and the moveable tweeter makes a difference

Yes I have 2 othem pushing 2 12" Rockford's P3 @ 2ohm I have on idea why everyone wouldn't do this. My entire system is 2ohm. Hope this helps.

The rms on the infinity is 300w, 150 is not enough to push that sub, especially if your putting the sub in the trunk of your car that has a gas tank separating the cabin from the trunk. I would go with a stronger amp, JL Audio Jx 500/1 is a great amp. I have this amp and it hits HARD! One more note do not install your sub in a cheap box, a good sub box makes a big difference.

Hi,We would recommend the Shockwave4000. It will supply 900W RMS per channel to each Speaker Cabinet. This is a 4 ohm load. Thanks again

I have a stock radio and with the 2 Ohm ( using JBL True 4 ohm technology) My system is louder and clearer. I had an amp in line next but saving my money, not needed

I only powered 1 13.5" JL W7 No problems and its small so you can hide this one well. About to install my interior high grade speakers. so no comment on that.

I'd stick with the same. Some amplifiers can operate "unsafely" I.e. overheating or crappy sound, if they can't produce the right impedance per whatever ohm each speaker has. I'd start from ground up if you're wanting bigger better sound

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

Man i wouldn't hook anything old school up the this amp it is a straight up beast. It shredded my JL 15w3 now I have it stroking a JL 12w6 and they say its a the best fit for the amp. Its my first professional system so i dont know what else to recommend, good luck mate.

I have an alpine mrv-m500 amp that gives 500 RMS at 2 ohms. It still hits hard and sounds great. But as long as the amp can handle a 2 ohm load and has at least 600 RMS your fine I would check out some amps on here that have those specs and I only have one sub not two!!!

I'm running 2 kenwood excelon subs rated at 300 each. The jx 1000 has more power than they can handle but they sound great. It's better to have to much power than not enough. I think your subs would be a good match up for this amp

1000 watts to 1500 watts would do nicely but get a good clean amp you wont be sorry for paying a little more for a good brand i have 3 of these on one jbl it pushes them nicely.

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp.. I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

I looked for a Planet Audio 4000 Watt amp and found this, the AC4000.1D. They claim it makes 1,500 RMS, if that is the case, it will be enough to get them moving pretty good. I have a 2000 Watt soundstream on them, and it is pretty ridiculous. I think the amp you mentioned will work if it is something you already have, but if you are looking to get an amp for them, I would stay away from Planet Audio.
