1200/1 jl hd amp and 3 rev 10s?
 
how would you or could you wire 3 rev 10s to 1 jl 1200/1 hd amp?

Wire them all in parallel for a 1 ohm load I guess.

Why not go with an SD6 for 585 per pod?

where did you get a single rev 10?

Robby,
There are multiple reasons why that will not work.
First, the HD1200/1 does not have the same upper end bandwidth as the HD750/1. You could not hear the difference at wake range. But you might be able to hear a difference while at rest, at least early in the day.
Second, you want to fall in the range of the amplifiers acceptable impedance load. And, if using multiple speakers on one amplifier/channel, you want each speaker to get the identical power. So any series/parallel combination configuration with any odd number of speakers cannot get equal power to each speaker. If you series all three speakers you will have greatly diminished power. If you parallel all three speakers you will have a final load of 1.33 ohm on an amplifier that is stable to 1.5 ohm. That might be close enough in some cases, like some simple inboat coaxials for example, but with a more complex HLCD & passive crossover the imedance is likely to dip well below 4-ohms per each speaker at certain frequencies. Keep in mind that the speaker impedance rating is nominal but by no means is equal at all frequencies.
I don't know what you are attempting to do but my guess is three speakes per each side with about 400 watts per speaker. If that's the case then six 4-ohm speakers could be driven to max potential by three HD750/1s.
If the numbers are different then also look at the Wetsounds multi-channel SD2 or SD4 or SD6 where you can run different combinations to best match the per speaker power requirements and stability.
Let us know what you envision on the tower.

I'm going to run 6 rev 10s but i was trying to keep from buying 3 amps. figured if 2 1200 would work than that would be better than running 3 750s. I'm cool with 750s it was just a thought

DavidAnalog 03-06-2014 2:08 PM

Most every two amplifier scenario would be a step down in power from three JL HD750/1s.....
except two Wetsounds bridged SD6s for 6 X 585 watts. That's crazy power. I'd love the headroom but I'm afraid you would eat too many speakers.

Elliottsx80 03-06-2014 2:14 PM

the way i treat me stereo stuff i can promise you i would tear rev 10s to hell with 585 rms

Houstonshark 03-06-2014 2:32 PM

You should look into doing 2 SD6's. Each amp would power 3 Rev10's at 585W each.

dougr 03-06-2014 2:57 PM

i have 4 rev 10s 2 sets on 2 syn 4s plenty of head room. its over kill 585 rms would be wasted

Two SD-6 cant be beat for that set up with 2 amps. Yes the 585 is a ton of power but can be tuned right. TJ is running his REV 10's with SD-6's so he has 585 to each, tuned right and has been rocking them for over a year now with no issues.

We can always help make sure it is set up right. I am running a SD-2 bridged mono per REV 410. So 1250x1. I am not running them at a full 1250 watts. Set to have tons of power and super clean. Amps have so much headroom, the dynamics is insane.

My vote would be for a pair of Wet Sounds SD-6 amps for the power and 2 amp option that would drive 6 speakers evenly.
