Hey fellas, i currently have a JL 500.1 amp and i have the opportunity to pick up one of these:

i'm thinking of trying to swing about $100 for the sub and box, considering it's a year old.

is my offer fair? or am i lowballing the seller?
will the setup with my amp and this sub work? i don't want to send too much power to this sub and end up blowing it.

here are the specs on the sub:

KevlarŽ-infused pulp cone
1" Santoprene rubber surround
dual 4-ohm, 2" voice coils
frequency response 24-1,000 Hz
power range 100-300 watts RMS (150 watts RMS per coil)
peak power handling 1,000 watts
sensitivity 87 dB
top-mount depth 6-15/16"
sealed box volume: 0.7-1.0 cubic feet
ported box volume: 0.75-1.75 cubic feet


Thanks for the help guys<ul><li><a href="http://www.carreview.com/Subwoofers/Alpine,SWR-1241D/PRD_154510_1808crx.aspx">http://www.carreview.com/Subwoofers/Alpine,SWR-1241D/PRD_154510_1808crx.aspx</a</li></ul>

if u hav a 500.1 get a JL 10w7.. its meant for the sub, use it on the sub

yoogene

at least until i can save enough money and time to get the JL sub and build the custom enclosure i want.

i just sold two polk momo 12" subs with box for $200. im happy with a good set of componants. the subs weigh to much. but the type r with dual coils is a reliable sub.

yoogene

the power of the amp won't blow the sub will it?

I had a 700 watt rockford powering 2 of the alpine type R's and it sounded sweet.

yoogene

thanks for the tip. is that all i need to worry about?

the 300 rms will be sufficent for sound.
