    How much RMS power is enough to power 2 JL 12W3 subs?????

    I'm getting 2 JL 12W3, and i was wondering how much RMS power is enough to power those subs. i also want to know how much power would be enough to power 6.5 mb quarts speakers and 6/9 pioneer speakers. i really appreciate it if somebody could help.

    for each JL 12w3 sub is 250watts. so i was wodering about how much RMS power is enought to play loud, but it doesnt blow. cuz i heard some people say dont overpower it due to the fact that too much power in amp can blow the subs. but on the other hand, i hear some people say if u underpower it, when u play, loud amp tries to produce more power and as a result, both amp and subs can blow.
    another thing that concern me is that for the speakers. im trying to get mb quarts in the front and pioneer in the back, and i was also wondering how much power is enought to play loud, but again, i dont want to blow the speaker s. so i really appreciate it if somebody could give me some explanation.

    You need to check the specifications and see what the speakers are rated for. That will help you choose the correct power.
