Hey everyone. I have a JL Audio 100/1 amp. I was looking at buying 3 12W3v2 subwoofers to run on the amp. Does that amp put out to much power for three 12s or is it better to run that amp on say 2 15W3v2 subwoofers? Also i was wondering, what size sealed box is good for the 12W3v2 and the 15W3v2? Note i do listen to alot of bass, electronica, and rap music. Thanks for the advise! Jeff

This would work great. One of my install guys has a 1000/1 hooked up to 3 10" W3V2 and it's VERY impressive. Make sure you get the dual 4 ohm voice coils then series the coils and parallel the woofers to show a 2.7 ohm load. In a sealed enclosure each woofer should get 1 to 1.5 cu. ft.
