i decided the other day that my 98 cavalier needed more thump, so i went out and got 2 12" solobaric L5's. I heard these are awesome. Now all i need is an amp. They are rated at 600 wats rms each and have dual 2-ohm voice coils. I was wonderin wat kind of amp would power both of these and if i should wire it using 2ohms or 4. Im a noob at car audio so I have no clue what the difference is. |

Yea the JBL 1200.1 amp would be fine. Wire the subs voice coils in series and then wire the subs in parralel to the amp. |

hold on, i couldnt find the jbl 1200.1 on ebay. and its way too much in the stores. so i found a jbl gto 1201.1 for a very nice price. im pretty sure this would work just as well but i need sum feedback to see if you guys agree. |

I would take the Solo Barics Back and Get Comp Vrs. Then you will have more money to buy an amp but the comp vrs are better. Heres a Site that tells what subs,amps,cd players, etc. are the best and which ones suck. http://p079.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=48.topic This should help. In my Opinion, All the Solo subs from kicker arent as good as Comp/Comp Vr. Plus Kicker Comp VR 12" can be found on ebay for cheap.
