AI James Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 well i was gona sell my memphis for the jL... but yea i might just keep it, i still need to run a bigger ga wire for my power i got a 6 ga scosche.. i need a 4 ga.. depending on your final ohm load the JL audio may be better on your electrical then the memphis, all memphis amps are known to be pretty power hungry, but if your able to run like a 4ohm load on the JL that may work to your advantage.

He's not really an asshole. That often Everything you posted in this thread was hearsay and speculation. Have you ever owned a JL 1000? Ever installed one? Played with one? Even seen one that wasn't a picture on the internet? If not, this makes your advice kinda pointless. I mean come on. You don't even know if the 1000.1 makes 1000wrms, what the hell are you posting in this thread for? OP, if you can sell your memphis for enough to make the JL extremely extremely cheap then go for it IMO. The JL is a very, very nice amp. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

sound xtreme Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 if the owner of the JL amp is your cousin, ask him to let you drop it in and see if its louder. Thats what family is about. If its louder buy it, if not, help him sell it as a thank-you for trying it out.

Marlo Stanfield Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Like i said before the OP either will see a very minimal gain if any at best or it won't be any different SPL wise, the memphis amp is a very nice amp let's not forget. But I'd still buy that JL and sell it locally for at least double what he can buy it for. I've seen them sell locally and on ebay for $500+ used because people love JL and they think that they're ballin' by running JL. So they see the MSRP price @ $1000+ and can't afford it, instead they'll buy a used one for like 500 thinking they got a great deal. So to the OP - buy the JL if u got the extra money, flip the amp and you should come out at least $200 ahead and still have your memphis amp. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer...

MrSoundz Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I would buy the JL for $200. That one is a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledge Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 i would personall run the JL, they are strong and well built and will throw clean power! i say this cause i ran 8 of them in my truck on 4 DD 9515 and never had a problem with them! i would run them again if i had them! Quote REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblovah51 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 memphis 16st-1000d or the J/L Audio 1000.1 the jl 1000.1 will definately do better they have a well rounded bass, plus give u full power from 1.5-4ohm and 11-14volts, trust me ive used them for my self. dam good amps thats why they cost!
