The owner that I purchased my wrangler from had two 10" JL subwoofers set up.
Each of the subs is rated at 75-300W RMS, with 300W Max. So I need some help understanding how much bass I can expect from the speakers (not trying to be overwhelmed with bass) when paired with the correct amp. I am thinking that I will get a 600W amp, that will properly take advantage of both speakers.
However, curious, is running 2 10" subs with that kind of power to much? If so, would just using 1 of them make more sense? Way past my younger years of listening to a lot of bass etc, really just want these subs to provide nice bass on my country, rock and r&b music.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Also, Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh boy you will get PLENTY of bass with those. I have a 200W and I listen to rap, rock, and country and for rap I get plenty of bass. Enough to rattle my keys. Anyways you need to know if you subwoofers are single voice coil or dual voice coil and how many ohms your subwoofers are to get the correct amp. Then since you have 2 subwoofers you will have to wire them correctly to get the right impedance (how many ohms) hopefully of 2 or 4 ohms as this is the impedance most amps are rated at. Here is a link to figure out how to do this from JL: http://www.jlaudio.com/header/Suppo...ual+Voice+Coil+(DVC)+Subwoofer+Drivers/287544
Once you have found what ohms your subwoofers are wired at you will need to look for an amp that has an rms rating that fits in your subs rms rating (both subs rms rating added together, so yes 600 would be a good number), at the ohms your subs are wired at. Then hook it up hope this helps!

Well then wired up you can get 2 SVC subwoofers to 2 ohms. So you need to find an amp that runs 600 watts at 2 ohms. I know JL has a couple but both have mediocre reviews as they fail sometimes.
Still just debating though if I want to use both speakers or just go with one of the two. I mean the cab is not very big as you know. You said you run one sub, correct? How does it fill your cab? Would you add a second or just stick with the one if you had the choice?
I have an old-school cerwin vega stroker 18 that I'm putting about 2500W too in my tj I think it was completely overkill but I've had a couple of them sitting around and decided to just build one
I personally have no idea how 2 10's would sound compared to 1. Mine fills the cab very nicely with the top on but when the top is off I wish I had more. However your sub is 100w more than mine so that may make the difference. Personally I would put both back there if your mid and high range speakers are amplified.
