Sufficiant RMS Question

[sandyfromtx817]

Hey guys. I am running one jl audio 10w6 with the jl audio 500/1 monoblock amp. The bass is nice but not deep enough. I want to really feel a deep bump. So my question is basically if i add one more 10w6 sub, will this intensify the bass by itself or will i need to also add another amp. The current amp is pushing 500 rms. I believe one 10" w6 is rated at 600rms but not absolutely positive. I know it is close to that. Also if i do need to add more rms how much can i get away with at least. Also if the subs are underpowered, can that hurt the sub. I dont blast my music all the time but just want to know that if i feel like it i can. Thanks for any feedback.

if u use 2 subs then each sub only gets 250W, since this amp produces the same 500W even at different impedance/ohms. i suggest u get a larger box, or get a stronger amp..

by not deep enough im thinking the low extension isnt enough? like dummm instead of dummmmmm?

clarification:
was the box made for the sub? or was it a generic one? what type of box?

deep here = low?

this box was one made for the 10w6. i purchased it on ebay. it is ported. my freind has a 10w6 and a pioneer something or other in a descent looking box and his is a pretty hard thump. i think his amp is also pushing only 500 watts and not sure of the rms. It is an insignia amp which from what ive heard isnt nearly as good as a jl amp. My boys were also suggesting i turn my amp up. I dont know what that means. Like i was saying. My bass is just kinda shallow. I want to really feel it hard. I have all jl audio right now and another 500/1 slash series amp is getting expensive not to mention the extra speaker. Once again any correspondence is appreciated.

prolly doing some sound proof on the box will help.. not to mention the x-over freq + slope also plays a part

 

[Zenn]

if its ported then its only good for certain type of frequencies. u can re-do the box according to your friend's specs.....or u have to find certain bass tracks that will sound good with this box. failing that, its time to re-do the box tuned to your fav music...or make a new box

Bafukie and Zenn are right. You can start to play with the slope first and then the crossover. If still can't get the extension u like, perhaps changing the box to a bigger one or ported may help.
Lastly, if u have moolah to spare then change to a bigger SW or stronger amp.
