JBL Tube Amplifier question of the day

Question Which amplifier is suitable for a JBL GTX-1250 bass tube?
I want to install a JBL GTX-1250 bass tube in my car. Please suggest me a suitable amplifier. Should I go for a 2.1ch or 4.1ch or a mon amp... PLEASE HELP!!

Best Answer You can pop any 4 Channel Amp in the boot of your car. Since you have only one Bass tube it Doesn't really Matter. Also it depends what sort of pocket you got, If you have a heavy one then go for Pioneer 4 Channel otherwise I will definitely suggest you to go for Alpine v12Series. Any one from v12 Series will do the job.
Question jbl cs1204t & jvc amplifier?
Hey I'm a beginner in car audio stuff and I'd like to ask you how to properly adjust my amplifier for the best performance for the speakers and sub I got. My amplifier is bridgeable 4-chanell 800W JVC KS-AX6604. Subwoofer is a Tube JBL CS1204T (Peak power: 1000w, RMS: 250W) Two speakers Kenwood KFC-6972 (Peak power: 450w, RMS: 80W) What I did is: I connected speakers to the "Front panel" on the amp (no problems here), bass boost is to the half, level is half (when it's more my back shelf gives weird sounds), and frequency is 30Hz. I have some problems when coming to the sub, shall I connect it to right (or left) output or bridge it? When I bridge it the bass is stronger but when the volume is 25+ it distorts (Bass boost: 25%, Level: max, frequency ~100Hz), when I connect it normally (bass boost: 75%, Level: 100%, frequency: ~100%) it is not powerful enough. It my first car audio to connect... so sorry if the question is stupid :P.

Best Answer It should be bridged. The level setting is way too high. The sensitivity for that amp is adjustable to as low as 0.2v (max). Even a cheap HU should produce 2v or so at full volume. 1/2-3/4 on the level dial should be about right (that's assuming you have a 2v HU). The purpose of the level adjustment is to set it at a point where you can turn the HU volume up to about 3/4 full volume without getting distortion from the speakers. Setting it higher will not increase the output of the sub, it will only degrade the sound quality. Also, on the rear crossover, make sure you have the switch set to LPF. 100hz might be slightly on the high side for the frequency dial. Try it at around 80hz - somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd dot on the dial. It won't make a big difference, but it's worth a try. It may also help your front speakers if you use the HPF and set the frequency at around 50hz.
