You should ask be asking why Australia's loudest SPL competitor would have anything to do with a low end Pioneer sub... Not just believing everything you hear. If you're referring to who I think you are, he does talk a lot of ****.


Agreed with everything you said except for this. Efficiency doesn't determine whether a speaker is good or bad. Many high end speakers have very low efficiency due to their mechanical design.

are you reffering to as Phil ?

Question guys, will my amp be able to handle the DVC version of the JBl sub?

sub:
JBL Car & Marine Audio

Amp:
Lil Wonder III

the write up for the sub says 4ohms, but the tech specs says 2 and 8 ohms.

Amp says
260wx1 @ 4ohms, but doesnt mention how it would power at 2ohms

anyone? Dont really want to go buying the DVC model if my amp cant run it?

Yeah mate by the looks of it your amp wont be able to run at 2 ohm bridged. If you dont want to upgrade your amp and are looking for a sub to run off your current amp you'll have to look at 4 ohm SVC subs.

SPLcamry - dont beleive everything you hear. Those Pioneer subs are not a bad woofer at all, dont know where he got the cooling problems thing from, but i havent come across one yet.

i would go with the headunit first as this would be the best thing to have as you can get to know the controls that headunit has to offer. Get to know that so you know how to tune the headunit to tune the front splits and rear speakers. That headunit it as great one i had the one before that. It still goes hard, but i use it in my bedroom.

if you want something really kick ass, you want a alpine monoblock 500w rms amp with a 12 inch alpine type r sub.

my brother has 2 12 inch sonys and my one alpine is much louder.
