Okay, question for you bassophiles. I bought a setup off of someone who needed money and got all (good) paperwork.
* (2) JL 12w6 (custom sealed enclosure) * (1) Alpine MR-V12 1505 (150x2 @ 4) * (1) F cap
Okay, so the 12w6 are DVC, 6-ohms/coil. So, series coils and parallel subs means a 6-ohm load. OR, parallel-parallel means a 1.5-ohm load.
He had this system professionally installed (to the tune of $1400)... but I can't for the life of me figure a "good" way of having them wired that wouldn't be putting undue stress on the amp.
Well, since it's a 2 channel, your only option is to hook one sub to each channel and give each channel a 3 ohm load. If the amp doubles it's power at 2 ohms like it should, then each sub will get 225 watts RMS. Strange setup indeed, and underpowering the subs. Are they W6's or W6v2's?
I was mostly wondering because I can't recall an amp giving specifics on 3-ohm loads and didn't know if any of the "load-detecting" amps would have a problem dealing with it.
They are straight W6s. I've actually got a stockpile of stuff now to sell and didn't want to rip anybody off.
Current inventory: * (2) JL 12W6 (in enclosure) * (1) Alpine MRV1505 (I'm replacing a terminal on this one, so won't have it operable for another week or so) * (1) MMats SQ2125 * (1) MMats SQ2150 * (1) Audio Control EQT * (1) Audio Control EQL13 * (2) Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 (SVC)
Most of it is new (in box). When/if I sell this stuff, I'll be doing my upgrades (either the Focal or Dyn 3-ways).
there's no "load detecting." it's simply a matter of ohm's law. voltage is fixed, load is relatively static, current caries based on voltage and load. if the sub is 3 ohms, the amp puts out the corresponding amount of power unless its an amp like the JL slash series with a regulated power supply and output stage. then the amp puts out the same power regardless of load.
