I have an xtant 3001 amp. i went to a shop yesterday and said that i could power two 10 inch kicker comp vr's wired to 2 ohms. that means my amp would be pushing 300 watts. Is this enough pwer for this speaker. I have one 10 ich jl w3 and i want more bass. is this a good idea or would it sound about the same becasue ythe kickers are not getting as much power as they should be. thanks

kicker comp VR's = loud

had a buddy with oldskool vr's on a 300 watt amp in an integ, it was rediculously loud, definitely noise violation loud.

Same here...my friend has a pair in his 86 Porsche off a mere 200 watts and it's pretty crazy loud..

Assuming that you were running the JL with 300 watts (as opposed to the 150W @ 4 ohms), then you should notice about a 3dB increase thanks to the doubling of the cone area (2 10" drivers v. 1 10" driver). That increase should be fairly noticeable at listening levels below 140dB and depending on how the box is constructed (i.e. ported, sealed, bandpass), you may even get a better result.

Have fun!

you can only say its a 3 db increase if you provide the identical driver for the doubling.... when you start talking about switching to different drivers, you really can't say that it will be a 3 db increase because a jl 10w3 with 150 rms to it will not put out the same amount of db's as a kicker comp vr with 150 rms to it, and neither of those will have the same output as a super pro brand 10... i used to have 6 super pro 12's in my old chevy (they were free) with 1000 rms divided between all 6, and in my current setup with 2 audiobahn 12's and 400 rms, i get a higher volume...
