Which amp would dominate in powering up 2 12" Alpine subs. I'm thinkin any of the JL Audio amps would kick ass. But what do you guys think.

It doesnt matter so much company as output. If you buy a 300 watt JL amp to run a 2 400 watt 12" subs that will not work as well. Match the amps RMS to the 2 subs RMS.

I had two JL Audio 12" subs in a W7 box, powered by a JL Audio 500-1 amp and that was more than enough power for them. It made the roof of my car bounce around and I could launch a quarter about 1 1/2 inches off of the roof. If you get an amp with this much power though, I would highly recommend getting a 1 farad capacitor so you don't kill your battery or alternator.

A JL Audio 500-1 should run you about $400 depending on where you get it.

Another good thing about this amp is, it is 1 ohm stable....in other words it can put out like a $2.00 hooker!!!

Something else you can do to get more bang for your buck is, run your speakers series parallel and bridge your amp...if your subs are DVC. That kicks the bass up a few notches!!!
