Ok so I can't afford 2 subs at the moment so I was thinking: many people run 2 12" perfects off of a JBL 1200.1 amp.

So would it be okay if I run one 12" perfect off of a JBL 600.1 amp with the gains set low?
I'm also going to put it in a sealed box(I need trunk space, and I want max SQ).

I shouldn't have problems correct?
And do you guys think that it will be loud enough to rumble the car?

Just seems like a lot of power for one of those. Aren't they 300 rms. You will also need to match the resistance for that amp.

Oh yah just a little more information. I was going to wire it parallel to get the 2 ohm load. The sub I want is dual 4 ohms.

I say no. Don't take a 300 rms sub and give it over double that. Your just asking for trouble. Get the JBL 300.1 instead. Perfect match.

IMO more power is better then too low of power

but it isn't too low power...

it says peak is 1400watts and rms is 350.
I just want to know if the 600 watt amp will blow the sub.
The reason why I want the 600 over the 300 is because I might add another sub in the future.
Also don't I need a little more power because the box I'm using is going to be sealed?

Get a DVC 2ohm and the 600.1 then. Wire it in series for a 4 ohm load. This way you'll only really get 350 rms watts or so since it is running at 4 ohms.

Then get another whenever, wire each sub in series inside the box, parallel outside, ending up w/ an overall 2 ohm load. Now the amp kicks up the power to the 2 ohm rating and each sub will get 300 rms / 600 max.

if youre going for max sq then id also reccomend looking into a better amp. the xovers on those jbl's are horribly designed

infinity's seem to start breaking up before they reach their alleged max power ratings. just what i've found.
