Must RMS la... not likw the capalang amp use watt only..

RMS then can.. JL audio stated it's 300w RMS.. Your amp gonna gets very HOT..

loon ur amp can use with the sub..no worry...it will blow ur sub also...

since ur amp can do 320x2, then u just connect ur sub each voice coil to each bridged channel....then it will be okay...

but is the ARC true rms? as i know it's also some overrated product wor....

but no worry la...as long bridged can output 150-200 rmsx2 then it will blow ur sub edy....i dun think JL can handle >450 RMS with low low freq >50...

I have confirm it is true RMS mah.... If not 80watt meh maybe blow tweeter also can't la...

My amp as below :-

don worry..

my JL in the myvi was powered by my a/d/s (50x4 @ 4 ohm) and mine was a DVC.. i briged it to 8ohm(cz u can either make it 2ohm o 4 ohm load onli)
(which means i haf a lower power) and it still sounds good but not powerful.. not 2 forget it is in a sealed box..

now feeding my JL wif 600rms @ 2ohm (amp rating)... he is so FULL now..

Which JL sub you use?

12JLW3v1..

but i heard magz said that the V2 is more easy to control than the V1.. dono true o not.. u can gif it a try and 1 thing for sure tat there is no regret..

last time i was using this alpine 8" sub (active sub) SWD2000.. i sold the active sub off and get this JL.. it sounds 10x better than the 8" sub..

yup.. I agree I have friend show me before JL woofer in sealed box... nice
Heard people said before too... V2 more easy to drive...

Thermal Power Handling (Pt): 300W

hmmm.. actually i like the adire shiva a lot cz it realli delivers a very g00d bass (SQ) in a sealed box.. this brand has a good reputation a while ago then dissapear liao larh..

if ur budget allow, do try the W6.. it's more likely towards SQ too.. there was once i auditted a car in KK Lau and i was totally amazed..

Never mind... I still need to audit more subwoofer... hehe!

how u goinna audit larhh actually? unless u got go out for TT session wif those poisonous cars 2gather gather.. ha! ha!

then i haf no medicine 2 cure ur poison liao

Some Shop got demo... Saw one shop before got a lot of demo, tat time I go just for survey amp only..hehe

do they put them into the car o is it juz a display set on a tall wooden box wif a lot of players, amp, speakers and woofer juz to try?

Some got display set ...
Some got display car...
SOme just display only..

How much you bought that JL woofer? RM 1k + kah?
What amp you using anyway?

You ask who?

Just some additional data, Real JL audio sub can handle alot more that what they post. This is because in the states their consumer rights are very strict hence they always underate their stuff. I have a few real life examples to prove.

1) Go check the rating for JL 12W7 would you believe me that to properly power it you will need an amp that can generate more than 1k RMS of power at least something close to 1.5k to 2 k watts. anything less that that it will not be enuf.

2) I have someone running JL 12 w6 v2 with 1.160watt RMS

3) JL 12w3v2 running from a 600watt monoblock.

4) JL 12w3V3 running from 800 watt

basically based on what i have seen sofar for JL subs best sounding thats its tight and accurate you will need to push at the wattage that is orange running near to red colour in the power bar.

Only then will the sub sound good

My RM0.02 cents worth of info

P/S just becarefull with the model JL12w3 v1 and 12w3v2 there are alot of fakies around. they look exactly like the real one. only the sound its different and the power handling lower coz the voice coil its actually smaller.
