I'm going with RE hooray!!!

I have a JBL bp600.1 for an amp. I'm going to need three of the woofers, and they only sell 4ohm DVC. How would this work guys? And how much power would they be getting?

What are my options besides buying a new amp.

consider using two SE8s instead of three RE8s.
then you'd have an even load and 300 watts each.
also better subs, overall with less space used for about the same price.

RE doesn't make an SE8, but that was a typo i'm assuming.

Three? Get four, so you can use that amp at full potential. With four wire them for a 2ohm load, and get 600watts total from that amp.

have you called RE and found out exactly how much they'll cost or whath? im willing to bet they'd be a little bit less then $400 unless you have a deler around and can't order from RE :)

No room AT ALL for a 12 or even a 10 without tearing out my back seat.

You won't have a problem with with throwing an extra 125 or so watts at them. Sirius sold 2 of 'em to a guy that has them wired to a Fosgate 1001BD. The've been hooked up for about 3 months now and there's no trouble out of them...sound good too.

im also thinking of getting a new sub soon. and im back to wanting an RE12. since they all take ~175 watts rms, would i be better off getting one and keepin the gain down or getting 2 and underpowering them a lil bit?(i got a mono 300w xtant amp)
