5 channel Amp


AudiRS5

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to do a small build in my wife's daily car and do a 5 channel amp on a 12W6V3 dual 4 version. JL recommends running them at 600RMS but I've seen people give them up to 1000RMS. I have a few amps in mine but which one will give me the most power at 2ohms do you think? Another question I had for the Focal amp is at 4 ohms it says CEA power but at 2ohms it says maximum power so what does that mean? What you guys think?

i won't get into what amp is better vs what amp, but the focal thing is likely because CEA rating is done at 4 ohms so there is no CEA rating for 2ohm. It doesn't look like they are using that as peak or anything like that.

I've got my 4 w6's running off 4 JX1000.1's. With box rise, they're not really seeing 1000 watts. I wouldn't buy an amplifier that will give those subs more than 1000 watts at 2 ohm so then at lets say 2.5 ohm (because of box rise) they'd be seeing about 600 watts. They sound great and have good output, but they can be fragile. 

As far as that focal, to be CEA rated, they rate the amp at 4 ohm. That amp probably isn't 1 ohm capable, so the wattage at 2 ohm would be the "max" output.

Well I'm leaning towards the Digital Designs or Focal since there sub stage is good enough for a W6. The Rockford I heard runs really hot and will probably do around 700 on sub stage. The JL HD  won't do too much what its rated. The Alpine also looks good but I think it will do much more on sub stage from what its rated. Can anyone confirm running PDX amps?
