1 AMP no SUBS (SUGGESTIONS 4 SUBS?)

I have 1 JBL AMP I'll post a picture of it later, im very new to building sounds and well.. wanting to start..

The amp i have is a 4 channel amp ( i think ) it has 4 copper wire circular things not sure what they are but was told it is a 4 channel amp.
It was used to power 1 15's in an armada with 2 15's....

So can anyone suggest to me a good SUB that is LASTING and could withstand heat.. Where i live we have SUMMER all YEAR LONG
im serious what subs could withstand that.. and also withstand being played like everyday!....

I was told to get 2 Sony XS-L124P5B, on SonicElectronix, they were pretty cheap yes, but You pay for what you get. And i think these are too good 2 be true...

I prefer something in the price under 400 cause I want 2 12's sub and the box i plan on making my own... any suggestions...
BTW i also have 4 pioneer speakers... big mistake because i couldve have bought the subs already... they control the high's really good tho... thx 4 ur suggestions.


Also what sort of wires should i buy too.... i plan on buying it on Sonicelectronix because they ship here .... so if ya can check it out and give me ur suggestionz

whatever you get, don't get sony xplode's. they suck
figure out how much power the amp puts out, then go from there.

I've got two Rockford Fosgate P2 12's that aren't going in my truck if you're interested. they're practically brand new, I got them after deployment 6 months ago. I pulled them out of my mustang and don't need them in the truck. I also have a 500W Fosgate amp and a 1fg Fosgate capacitor.

I would recommend Kicker CVR's, i have 4 12's cut through in my bed of my L, and they beat pretty loud, and surprisingly clean too, given they are in a sealed box. Also, i have bought from sonicelectronix before, they are a good company

you gotta figure out how much power that amp is putting out. the subs you are looking at run 800 rms each...i doubt your JBL 4 ch does 1600 watts rms.....
and, if you are willing to spend up to $400, pick out a wiring kit first, (assume that will cost about $90) then look at some higher quality subs. power acoustik is definitely low on the list

if its a 4 channel, its not a class D
try to figure out just what it is, then come back and we'll help you out
for wiring, kicker has some good stuff, knukonceptz is good too. just make sure you get stuff thats not totally crappy
