According to the JL Audio website, "the JL 12W3v3-4 is best used with amplifier power in the 150W - 500W range" and their power meter shows that optimum power would be about 250 watts RMS. The KICKER CXA400.1 amplifier will produce 150 watts RMS when connected to a single 4-ohm load speaker as you specified. If you are looking for great sound and performance without maximum SPL (loudness), the CXA400.1 will work fine. If you desire more SPL with the single 4-ohm speaker load you currently have, you may be better suited to use a KICKER CXA800.1 instead as it will provide 300 watts RMS in to a 4-ohm load.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I’m looking at the correct sub it’s a 4 ohm svc sub rated at 500 watts rms. This amp only puts out 150 watts rms at 4 ohms so it would be underpowered for your sub.
