Seeing as I am DUMB when it comes to car audio ... was just wondering if the amp I was referred to is capable to make my two 12" JL Audio subs sounds good.

As far as I know the subs need to be in a 1-1.75 cubic foot box (each sub) ... as per specs for them.

Continuous Power Handling: 125 Watts

Now ... I have been told the Jaycar D-class amp would be suitable for my setup .... just wanting to mae sure that it it.

And for $399 ... the Jaycar amp looks to be a bargain as well ... I have heard good things about their caraudio equipment too.

Also read the Jaycar amp has remote sub level control as well ... kinda handy too I think.

OK ... foud a pic I took of te bottom of the magnet with my mobile phone camera from a little while ago.

It's the 4 ohm version.

Hey Simon,

This Jaycar amp will do just fine.

you'll be presenting a 2ohm load which means the amp can deliver 700W RMS for your 2 subs to share. Considering they are rated at 125W RMS each this will be perfect with lots of headroom.

Headroom is the secret to long life and best possible sound quality.

Good ... thanks for the explanation on that ... I understand a bit better now.

If things go well I might even get Pyroay's DynAudio System 340 (7", 3", 1") front stage with underseat enclosures as well.

Mmm ... why no just go the whole hog .... can make some money back off my Pioneer 6" bullet cone splits.
