Hey I'm just starting to get into the car audio game and I was wondering if you guys here could help me out. You all seem very knowledgeable in this field.
Currently I have a JBL 300.1 amp and I am looking for a 12" subwoofer. I have narrowed it down to these three:
Cerwin-Vega V-Max 12 - 300w rms
12" Apline Type R - 300w rms
12" Kicker CompVR - 400w rms
They all seem very similar on paper, but I am looking for a good mix of SQ and SPL. I want to feel the lows but still sound clean.
Thanks for the help,
Josh
P.S. This amp is a 4/2 ohm amp right? But the manual stats that it needs a 1 ohm load min. Would the amp draw more current at 1ohm vs. 2ohms?

Yes, the Alpine SWR-1241D is a very good choice for that amp. It is a DVC (4+4) sub and if you use only 1 of them, just wire both coils in parallel for a 2 ohm load. The JBL BP300.1 nets the same RMS power out in 1 or 2 ohm loads.
1. SWR-1241D Type-R Series Subwoofer (4+4 DVC)
Dual 4-ohm voice coils, Kevlar™ reinforced pulp cone, Santoprene rubber surround, 100-300 watts RMS power range, 24-1,000 Hz frequency response.
http://www.hookedontronics.com/show_product_details.jsp?cid=976&c=0406PriceGrabber&b=Alpine_SWR-1241D
$108.00 for 12" Alpine sub.
2. SWR-1041D Type-R Series Subwoofer (4+4 DVC)
Dual 4-ohm voice coils, Kevlar® reinforced pulp cone, rubber surround, 100-300W RMS total power range, 28-1,000 Hz frequency response.
http://www.hookedontronics.com/show_product_details.jsp?cid=1191&c=0406PriceGrabber&b=Alpine_SWR-1041D
$98.00 for 10" version of same.
These are the best prices I have found on the web for this sub series. Don't know much about this vendor though. They are listed by several rating services. So I am assuming they do a good job delivering what you buy.
There are better know sites out there to buy from... but they charge more too. Can do a google search with either sub p/n and see what pops up.
