is jl audio slash 1000/1v2 amp powerfull enough to run 3 10'' w6v2-D4subs?

Personally I would get the new fosgate power series the CPs. Thats going to be my next amp if I ever need more.

^^ Yeah thats what I was going to recommend if he wanted 1500rms, look for the rockford t1500bd-cp, those are underrated and you should get close to 1300 - 1400rms at 2.67 ohms.

Maybe more then that if his charging system can feed it.

with imp. rise he'll be close to 3 ohms, not going to get much more than that, maybe 1500ish if he's got a solid extra battery and 0 guage.

sorry but im confused now cuz with slash 1000.1 around 350 rms to each sub is not that satisfactory for me cuz the subs are 600 rms each..i wanted to put atleast 500 in each..im already goin with sealed box..i think i have enough sq already since they are W6s ?? i need some loudness too you know

They will be loud just not as loud as you are expecting. They will be fine on 400 RMS and that Chinese made / amp will do that or get very close.. If you wanted LOUD subs you made the wrong choice

Efff that no hifonics BS and buy my Brutus 2600 and pay half of what you would for a d@mn 1000/1 and I bet you wont be able to tell the difference in the SQ...

see guys like these confuse me. 2 of you are saying slash and 2 saying hifonics..what do you say about jl audio's hd1200 it has a bit more power..?? is it is as efficient as slash 1000.1 ??

Thats cuz JL stuff is over priced like crazy!

they could be perfect for my system if i had $1500 for 3 jl slash 500/1 amps

i have space for 3 10's or 2 12's but in a sealed box..since w6s are not that thumpy and with slash 1000,1 i dun wana underpower them..i wanna get most out of my subs 350 rms each is nothing

JL, Kicker, Fosgate and a few other amps are underrated. The reason I'm telling you it fine is the 1000/1 puts out atleast 1200 watts. If you can get 2 12s ported I would do that. But understand the W6 does not get that loud as say a Alpine type R or MANY cheaper better subs. They are made for Sound quality not output. If you are fine with that any good name 1000 watt amp at 2 ohms will be fine for them.

Skip the Slash Series, too expensive and very inefficient. I would go with the maybe an Alpine M12, which is a bit expensive, around $500, but would give you the power you want, even with the weird ohm load. And thats a new price. Or even an Alpine MRP-M2000, which would give you 2k @ 2 ohms, which with the 3 ohm load you have, and the gains a little down, would be very sufficient! It can also be had new for about $425.

Those are just some ideas. Of course you can get the same amount of power from some cheaper (less expensive amps).

I forgot about the Alpine. Good choice.
