I WAS running a that 500/1 with 2 12w6v2's. They sounded amazing until they blew. Now Im on my backup a Polk momo 600 with some cheap pioneer 12's. For $300 I would honestly buy that shÃ*t. I spent over $1500 on that amp and the 12w6's. But this wasnt my first let down from JL. I went through 8 10"w3's, 4 12" w3's, a 13.5" w7 and 4 12" w6's v1 and v2's. (v1 W6's didnt blow, they were lost in a rear end crash (they were the bomb dot com in my book)) I love the subs but they just havent been good to me. I cant blow these POS pioneers for the life of me.
