car amps vs pa amps

[DJtwing]

about 2 years ago I saw in a tuning shop a 12"sub with 600w / 4 ohm, for 120euros

i bought it, and. I've put it side by side with 1 of my JBL jrx-118 subwoofers (18", 350w), both conected to 1 of my PA amps (I used an audio centron rma 1400 - 2x400w), and pulled the amp to max power for 10 minutes. you couldn't even hear the 12" car sub. after 10 minutes I realised the 12" sub was already damaged.

the 12" with 600W rms couldn't resist to 400w from the amp, the JBL sub was WAY much louder.

@DJtwing yher but JBL rules lol

iv sort of realised that there not actualy eny cheaper it just seems that way because of over rated wattages

@njipods

JBL rules but the jrx-118 is a JBL's lowcost subwoofer and cannot be compared to the JBL standard quality. It is way lower quality. My Dj career is parttime, so I would never waste my precious money on a high end sound system :O

its the power supply that's the mass difference to convert Ac to DC thats were the money is...
