Here's a wiring link:

I would think it would do fine. That's a great amp for the money. Probably would do even better down the road if you got 2 subs.

one is just being negative as always. the jbl class-d amps are unbeatable at their price. i know many, many people who use the 600.1 and 1200.1 and love it. many pros also recommend these amps, so i'm gonna say they are pretty good. they also tend to bench higher too (read some reviews where the 1200.1 was putting out around 1400 watts instead of the advertised 1200). 600 watts should be enough for that sub.

i have listened to a few of those amps, and im just being realistic, they DIDNT sound good at all, so they may make noise, but its just NOISE.


im not an SQ freak, but i like to hear the music, the way it was intended and put the control in my hands, not the amps.


i paid 300 for my pheonix 900.1, new in the box. it is easy to find deals, if you have cash in hand, all you have to do is look around.

power is power.....money is money...if you can get 1200 good power, like the JBL or even the 600 you asked for the same as other 'good' power amps, get it.

If the woofers sound bad, then I would elude to installation.
