[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 20457, member: 52"] The amp will certainly work but it will be a good bit under powered for that particular sub. No by no means is a power rating a power requirement so I would say just run it for the time being but if you get the inkling you could put almost double the power to that sub. The power rating at each resistance is a nominal rating that as you can see about doubles when cutting the resistance in half going from 4 to 2. Power @ 4ohms = 250w x1 Power @ 2ohms = 500w x1 Thus Power @ 3ohm = 375w x1 I pretty much believe JL audio does this 3ohm setup to confuse people and get them to buy the JL amps for simplicity sake instead of trying to figure the math. JL amps have a variable state power supply so they will put out rated power at various reistances from 1.5ohm to 4ohm (now doesn't that make it easy) they aren't the only company to do this but JL gets lots of hype so I am sure plenty of the JL fanboys will claim how awesome it is that they do this, also its one of the factors for the extra high pricing for a JL amp. If you got an 08 console in the rear then you should be able to do it, sadly I think you will need to use the entire volume of the console to acheive the airspace JL is recommending for that sub (1.25ft^3) but should be doable. I have in my console 0.93ft^3 and 7" mounting depth, this leaves me with 7" of storage. [/QUOTE]
