Default Quick Question

Guys, I've been looking on the JL website for the 10" W6v2 and it says maximum handling is 600w. I have a Alpine PDX-600 amp. I guess i just want to double check but will the sub handle this amp? I'm nervous just because i already blew a memphis sub with this amp and i do NOT want to waste money. Please someone help me.

what if i could get you a GTR for the price of your 08 350z .. sure you would be satisfied with your 08 350z.. but how would you feel knowing you could have had a GTR for the same price?

No.. it really isn't a bargain at all... two 'GTR's' ... cheaper than your W6

FI-Q

Image Dynamics IDQ

http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=5806

While both are better than the W6.. the FI-Q is on par with the W7 if not better

hmmm, it does fit. but let me ask you. with a 600 watt amp, would it be under-powered? i've heard underpowered is almost as bad as over-powered.

also, in the Fi specs, it says "sealed .2-.6 cu ft" and the zenclosure is .75 will that matter as far as sound quality goes
