I'm running a JL 500/1v2 to a 12w6. I understand that this is meant for a 2,000watt rms system but will this negatively impact my system in anyway?

i know what jl is but not familiar with their products. I'm running a 1200watt rms kicker amp with 4gauge wire with this cap. Lights still dim a little bit if I'm idling or parked with the bass up but it's a lot better than the 1farad one I had that one was junk. It's a good buy if your running under 1500watt Rms in my opinion. If you need anything over that your better off doing the big3 and getting another battery or a couple batteries along with upgrading the alternator to avoid any car issues.

Definitely. I'm using that same amp to deliver about 750 W RMS to that same sub and the amp doesn't even get warm. Specs for that amp are 750 W, but my birth sheet was 880 W. One of my friends has been running 900 W to that sub for a couple years now. You should have absolutely no problem.

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

Yes it does matter, but unless you're drawing a massive amount of power it will be okay. I would think you'd be good up to 1500 maybe even 2000 watts.

What OHM and how many coils does each speaker have. You will have to get a 1 OHM load to get the most power out of this amp. I have never run my amp below 2 OHM so I really can't say if it really puts out full power at 1 OHM, but at 2 or 4 OHM it seems a little under powered to me, but then again I've been running only JL amp's For the last 10 years this is my first non JL amp in a decade. If you get your load to 1 OHM it should work for you though.

That will move the sub, but it can handle 1200+ rms. I have 2500-3000 watts rms going to 2 of these and they take the power with no problem. I'd get an apsm1500 (im running 2 of them). It will put out about 850 rms for the 1 sub.

Since this is a 200W i would guess your 500W would be a stronger vibration but I don't know. It's nearly as good as the one I used at the D.C's office. I use mine for circulation.

Actually, I got the 8" sub. It says 600 max. peak, 300 RMS. I'm running a 100 watt continuous power source to and it does fine with no distortion. I don't what it would do with 600W. Have my doubts about that.

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.

You may try it, although 300W is on a low side and it may force you to go to 450-500W power supply for any further upgrades you may have in mind. I put it in the system with 650W and it works great.

Yes, it will push them just fine. I had mine pushing two 1000w Alpines and now it's pushing one 1200w Rockford Fosgate 15. You don't want to max out your subs anyway. Just match the rms and you'll be fine.

Hello.. I recommend this sub for an amp with les than 500 w rms .. I blew 2 of these 1 at a time at 1 ohm with a BD punch 500.1 competition amp.. rated at 500 w rms.. Amazon returned the first sub thinking maybe it was defective. When the second sub blew I through in the towel. Now using a jl w 7 12...

If you are going to use a single 12" it is better if you get the dual 2 ohm as this will come down to 1 ohm and most amps would be 1 ohm stable in this power braket. 1000 rms at 1 ohm is good enough to shake this beast. Doesnt need more.i have used 2.5 and 3 cube boxes. 3 is better. It is not a low frequency sub so dont tune too low. 38 hz is lowest i would go. It is loud though !!! Excellent value for your money. Just remember to break it in well before you turn it up.

I would recommend having at least 500w-800 for a good pound, if u want a comp system it'll hold up to 3500 watt amp. But that's professional hook ups for that, I run these 2 12s with a SSL 1500 watt amp only pishing 700 and it rattle my car!

Is the amp guaranteed 1100 RMS? if so, I would stay to something a little lower in terms of RMS. I had two of these on a JL XD1000 and they loved the power

It can handle around 650rms so 1200watt rms amp would still work just don't turn it up all the way and also make sure the ohms match up as well this thing kicks let me tell you

Yes....because the rms is what you ate going to be losing at normal power anyway....it would power more bridged.
