Doesn't the JBL 1200.1 do something like 600watts RMS? I think the perfect 12.1 is RMS of 350W

Were you powering one or two perfects?

I've had two Infinity Perfect 12s running off and MTX 2300 for over a year. They sound great.

i was powering two perfect 12's off the JBL 1200.1 the perfects can handle the wattage...its just they are built so crappy

they are built pretty well actually. Just because they have a fugly stamped steel basket doesn't meanit's poorly built. Some subs blow over time. They are mass produced to meet certain tolerances. They aren't precisely engineered to exacting measures....there was probably somthing not done right on the assembly line..

well mohawk i have decided to go with the IDMAX...i heard a demo....today...and damn i was blown away...but i think one 12" is good enough..lol...if i only had the money for the W7...sigh...

mohawkboom

the IDMAX will have more output than 2 perfects.. the IDMAX is also louder than the W7. W7's not all that efficient.. whereas the IDMAX. is..

hey mohawkboom...do you think my jbl1200.1 will be good enough to power the on IDMAX?

mohawkboom

Still..seeing as the IDMAX handles 1200Wrms. Umm it'd be perfect [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i dont think its fair to say the IDMAX will outhit a pair of perfects, there is a definite cone area advantage.

and the same deal with teh W7, efficiency is not everything!

but my buddy has a single IDMAX on 900 watts in a sealed box built for SQ. he metered 140.5 on the dash at the fremont comp the week after spring break.

the IDMAX is certainly a capable woofer!

Hey stillmatik23, I seem to remember now that I had a problem with my perfects also. I thought that I had blown them too. But, I took a look at them and found the problem. I believe what I found was that the wires that run from the terminals to the voice coil are very weak at the point where they attach to the terminals. What I did to fix the problem was cut the wire right at the terminal, remove the terminals(should be a screw to hold them on), remove the original voice coil wire connectors, crimp new connectors onto the voice coil wires, connect the voice coil wires to the terminals, and reattatch the terminals to the basket. Hope this isn't confusing. But, this the problem that I had with mine(it was quite a while ago, that's why I forgot about it). Since, I'd forgotten you could tell that I haven't had a problem since. What I had experienced with them was a total cut out of sound. It was like no signal was even going to the speaker at all. So, I would suggest(if you still have the speakers of course) that you turn your stereo on low and wiggle the voice coil wires a little to see if you get a response. If you do, then it's probably the same problem that I had. If you are going to get new speakers or not, at least it's better than throwing them out if you could get some value out of them. Hope this helps.

its called lead slap, were you getting noise of teh wires smacking agasint the cone? its actually a well known problem with perfects, but they were supposed to be fixed for like 2001 and up.......

actually i have that distinct smell of burnt toast when i turn my HU up..plus the rubber part around the inifinity perfect is actually off...its no longer in the housing so i am pretty sure it has blown...my box is 1.25 element enclosure...and since it is chambered i can still use the one sub?? correct me if i am wrong...cause i am sending the sub back tomorrow...and i am getting the IDMAX in about a couple of weeks..in the mean time...i have to find someone to buy my two perfects....
