if i bought a thunderform box could i fit 2 jl audio 10w6's in there? since there not mtx subs going into an mtx box?? and i want to buy an alpine amp that is a 2-channel 225wper channel? now thats 225 watts to each sub right?? if anyone has any suggestions or recomendations of any other subs that are better tell me!! trying to get the best stuff for a cheap price!!!!

thanx

The JL subs will fit no prob. Which model are you considering? The JL W3 subs are available with dual 2, 4 or 6 ohm impedance. I would use the dual 4 ohm wired in parallel for a 2ohm load.

 

yah its a 4ohm mono load! so if i get that 225w x 2 thats 225 watts per sub right???

 

The w6 is a 6ohm dvc sub. wiring in parallel gives a 3 ohm load.

yes the subs will get 225w ea if wired in stereo at 4ohms, they will get even more if wired as a 2ohm load.

 

so should i not go with the w6 is there a better way? what do u recomend

 

If you are really sold on the w3,s go with the 2ohm dvc and a jl 500/1 amp or a memphis 500d. wire the ea sub in parallel then in series to each other. this will yeild a 2ohm load and give you 250 watts into each sub.
if you are sold on the alpine amp, go with 4ohm dvc wired in parallel. this will show the amp a 2ohm load on each channel and give each sub around 300watts or so. thats a little over the rated for the w3 I think, but keep the gains down and they will be just fine.
