i got the jl 500/1 recently and i got 2 audiobahn 15's to it and it seems impossible to tweek. One bass note would hit hard as hell but others would make the sub pop and then when i switch that up other bass notes makes that popping sound. I'm wondering if my subs are too weak for it |

the problem is that you have a fantastic amplifier, and absolutely crappy subs.
set gain no more than a quarter turn.
set phase to zero
LPF to 80Hz
boost to zero
the amp may also just be too powerful for those subs as you mentioned.
audiobahn isn't a very good brand to be blunt.
no offense. they shove product down our throats. a lot of people get them then find out they're lacking.

i'm looking to spend about 3-350 for 2 jl 12's that can handle the 500/1. i think i saw the 12w3v2 or something for a good price but i don't really know if they are good or not |

The W3v2's are nice subs, for the price I'd go with Adire Audio Shivas. 125 each and the SQ and SPL is better than a W3v2 in my opinion. Will work really well off that amp. |
