i was told that one of these would be enough for rock/punk,and some r&b.anyone have anything to say about this sub and it's capabilities? i'm looking for a sub that hits hard.

 

other than this sub is awesome..my brother has 2 of them in his scion box,and wow not only are they clean but they do hit hard..the only down fall is there power hungry..if you plan on running just one i would suggest going with the jl 1000/1 ..at least,also box spec wise.1.75 cubic ft of air space is the min..

 

thanks man. i was at Tweeter this weekend and one of the salesman said this would sound awesome in the Z.i am just a little stupid when it comes to subs/ohms/watts.....completely retarded i tell ya. i just don't want to spend a lot of money on this and be dissapointed in the sound.

 

you wont be dissapointed i dont think. but for rock/punk you might want a sub more suited for playing that kind of music. plus theres other optins out there for a lot less.
and i think a 1000/1 ampmight be alittle overkill for the 8. im sure it can take it but i think it would be overkill

 

get a 10w7 with a 1000/1

 

you dont need the 1000/1 my friend hasa 10w7 and he is pushing it with a 500/1 and it is perfectly fine you dont need the 1000/1 until you get up to the 12w7

 

I did for a while and it was a decent bump.... not to much and not to little it was just fine.

 

you could get away with using a 500/1 but the thing is its always better to have have more power than not enough.thats what the gain **** is for..

 

I have a 8w7 its rated for 250-300 watts rms if you have a 1000\1 I think it would explode.

8w7 250
10w7 500
12w7 1000
13.5w7 1000

 

I ll sell you mine if your interested I need to pay some bills. Its in a pro wedge box.

 

agree with samors, 10w7s need a 500/1, who are these guys talking about 1000/1s?!?!?
