"Make full use of your amplifier?" Huh? I suppose you mean to operate it at its max ratings? To make full use of any amplifier you match its RMS output to the speaker's RMS input capability. If your JL subs are capable of handling 125 watts (as mentioned above) then wiring them to a 125 watt per channel amp is making full use of both pieces of gear. As to your question about the relative quality of Pioneer to JL, I do not know anything about the recent Pioneer speakers.

If the decision was yours, what would you get? run 125watts rms x 2 @ 4 ohms from the amplifier on JL audio subs rated at 125 watts RMS with 4 ohm SVC setup.. Or get pioneer 350 watt RMS subwoofers that are DVC 4ohms, which would let you run the amplifier at 250 watts rms x 2 @ 2 ohms.

I would buy the Pioneers and wire them like this. This will allow maximum output of the amplifier to the maximum capability of the subwoofers. After that it is all about the box.

I agree with forbidden. Snag those Pioneers, wire them for a 4ohm load, and the most important part, put them in the propper box.

nobody asked? does it sound good, the rockford amp with the 10w0s... if it does, then stick with it. right? if you need more powere step up accordingly. jl 10w0s are nice, i had one in my s-10 with 150rms. regardless a real small truck, but it rocked!

If the decision was mine I would not be using Pioneer or RF or JL. But that's just me. Will my RF 500.2 amp handle 2 ohms bridge - Page 2 -- posted image.
