I looked everywhere and the only place i can find a 3 ohm stable amp is the jl audio 300/2..  I need it to power one W6V1 becuase there DVQ 6 ohm... Anybody got any ideas, anything?

Thanks

Matt

Well if an amp is stable at 2 ohms then its also stable at 3 ohms.  Just take the difference between the 4 and 2 ohm rating and then add that to the 4 ohm rating and will give you an idea of a 3 ohm rating.

agreed... find an amp that is 2 ohm stable and pushes about 400 watts RMS at 2 ohms and about 200 watts RMS at 4 ohms, which should give you around the 300 watts RMS at 3 ohms you are looking for. You don't HAVE to use the amp at its full capabilities.

actually buy the 500/1 amp. its capable of being wired in 3ohm. :) and you'll get the most out of your sub too! :)

You coudl get yourself a jbl 600.1.  That will give you about 450 rms.

ANY AMPLIFIER that can handle a 2-ohm load can handle a 3-ohm load.  The limits given for amplifiers are MINIMUM load numbers.  ANY value higher than that is safe.

you will be fine with a two ohm stable amp, as the previous post state

If we learn from each success and
each failure, then we can improve ourselves

Also of note, it is highly likely you will be fine with a 4 ohm amp as well. Unless you are porting the driver it is unlikely that the drivers dynamic impedance will ever reach below 4 ohms3 ohm stable -- posted image.
