1. So a 500/1v2 will be able to push a 12W6v2 without blowing it but will have enough to push it?

2. And I am thinking of getting another 12W6v2 later on which means I will have to buy another amp correct?

 

1. Yes

2. Yes if you want to drive the sub properly.

 

If you plant to get an additional 12W6v2, you're better off saving your money and buying a 1000/1. For the meantime, that 12W6v2 can take the 1000/1, but the gains must be set properly. You can even have them low for plenty of headroom and when you add your 2nd sub, you won't have to worry about buying another 500/1, which later would cost you more money.

 

aite thanks whats some good gain settings? probably set it at half of the max it will go right?

 

No, that would be the improper way of doing it. There is a way using a DMM. I usually do it by ear since I've done it so many times and usually I even turn it a tad below what is safe. Or you can take it to a knowledgeable shop and they can set it for you. I don't think they should charge more than 20 bucks. To set by DMM follow this link: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=143

 

as stated earlier

1. yes
2. yes

however, the answer to #2 is yes due to the amount of power you'd want to provide to those, nothing to do with resistance.

JL amps are a special deal, they actually put out the same power anywhere between 1.5-8 ohms (if my memory serves me right).

The "right" way to set the gain on a 1000/1 for a single w6 would be to get a multimeter. JL provides tutorials on getting "perfect" settings on many of their products.

If you know what a 12w6v2 should sound like, most experienced installers could get it pretty close by ear. If anything, that sub will take more than what it is rated for. Those 1000/1 amps are pretty ballsy... and would be a good choice.
