[QUOTE="dabbin76, post: 8772792, member: 684372"] I picked up a single Jl 12w3v3-4ohm with a max rms of 500W at 4ohm and I'm trying to find a good amp for that sub. Budget is $500 or less for amp, I've been looking at the JL jd1000/1, AudioControl LC -1.800, and the JL jd500/1 amplifiers. I am planning to run the sub in a custom ported enclosure. I am aware that the jd1000/1 provides 600rms at 4 ohms and that is 100rms more but I'm unsure if its better to have a more powerful amp turned way down or to have an amp that makes less than the 500rms to not risk having too much power . I do have a strong preference to JL audio and AudioControl but I'm open to other suggestions. The sub only has a single voice coil and I do not plan on running 2 of them so I am locked into 4ohms. Any thoughts on these amps for my specific setup or other amp suggestions [URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_161LC1800/AudioControl-LC-1-800.html[/URL] 500rms @ 4ohm [URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13698363/JL-Audio-JD1000-1.html[/URL] 600rms @ 4ohm [URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13698362/JL-Audio-JD500-1.html[/URL] 250rms @ 4ohm [/QUOTE]
