JL Audio J2 500.1 to run single Skar sub? Enough power?

[lildragon45 0]

I am asking this for a co worker of mine wanting to get a single 12 Skar Audio VVW12. It is rated at 600RMS and I know it can take more power easily. Now my question is that he has a all JL setup and has 2 12 W0's in a JL ported box. That box is huge and doesn't sound to good to me. I would like to replace it with a single Skar and run it off his JL J2 500.1 amp. It is rated at 500RMS @2ohms. Will this be enough power to use with the Skar? He is doing this because in his 2006 4DR Civic the other box is taking up all his space, I am thinking being custom built box the single sub will be less space and sound alot better.

I am running a single Skar off 800-900rms and is more louder than what he needs.

You can never really under power like always stated around here... I've still only got a 500 watt JL Audio slash series and it made some waves and people giggle.... But that was a ported 12" Icon... Going sealed on the new XCON with the same power... We'll have to see if I need

It should sound great on 500, for awhile, my brother ran his on about 200-250 each and they sounded pretty good and supplied a decent amount of output for 400-500 rms to the pair. I think your friend will be pleased with that setup as long as he's not expecting too much.
