or wait till later this year when the new JL's will hit the stores.....

I have seen them and read the info, it is worth the wait.

That is all I can say since I signed a disclosure agreement...

I used to run 2 10w6v2's off of a single 500/1 sounded fine. With the 1000/1 it would be a beast.

For a single 10W6V2 I'd do the 500/1, the A1800 may be too much

500/1 for hte single 10w6 for usre is my vote, the extra dyanmics you may get with the 1800 is not relaly audible in this case...

if you are doing two 10w6s then obviously the 1800 is the better bet to gain better transients and dynamic headroom versus if you ran a single 500/1 to two 10w6s (still would sound okay but just not as good as having the 1800)

I'm very hapy with my 500/1 powering a 10w6v2. Hits really hard!
