josemolina2008 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Would the POWER ACOUSTIK BAMF SERIES BAMF2000/1D be good to power three JL audio W3's in a sealed box or is it too much? The woofers say they are 300w RMS and the guy at the shop that I bought them at says they will handle up to 500 but 300 is recommended. He also said that once they were in they would be wired at 1.5 ohms and the amp does 1200 rms at 1 ohm. Thanks in advance for any help.

RedJay Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) I'd stay away from Power Acoustik in general. I don't have any experience with them but from what i've heard they're sub par. Id suggest something like AQ2200d or a Hifonics HFi 2000d. but thats just my .02 edit: spelling Edited September 3, 2010 by RedJay Quote 2007 Black Tahoe AudioQue HDC3 15" AQ 1200d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josemolina2008 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Would any of the two be good for my subs? I don't want to blow them. Quote 2 12" JL Audio W3's, Sealed box, Quantum Audio QB1500d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJay Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 sorry i didnt fully read your post. You'll only push about 300-400 watts per sub. I'd go with an AQ1200d. It's what i run and i like it. Each sub would be seeing around 400 watts, if you would want less you could turn your gains down just a bit.

dugee81 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 After impedance rise, along with a nominal wiring of 1.5 ohms, an AQ2200 or HFi2000 would be a good match for 3 JL W3's IMO Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 1.5 ohms and 900rms? i'd personally go with an audioque 1200d. it should power those woofers nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josemolina2008 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Ok thanks and to you what would be a better amp to run a Hifonics HFi1500D or a AQ1200d? Quote 2 12" JL Audio W3's, Sealed box, Quantum Audio QB1500d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdave07 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 i have an pa bamf2000/1 and I've had no issues with it. Its an OK amp for what i paid for it. But its nothing compared to an aq1200 or something like that. I have nothing to say bad about power acoustik amps except they dont put out rated power. the bamf series seems to be about the best ones they have done so far thou. good luck on your choice!

josemolina2008 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 So about how much true RMS is the Hifonics HFi1500D pushing? Quote 2 12" JL Audio W3's, Sealed box, Quantum Audio QB1500d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
