New member Username: Jgut07Post Number: 8 Registered: Jul-05 | Im new at all this stuff. Im building a ported box for my JL 15w3. I want to be heard so im going ported. my JL is a D2. I know nothing about this stuff so dont laugh. But why is there 2 different places to hook wire to on the sub (a place on each side)....I am getting a 500 rms class D mono amp for this sub. Is all this right?.......my box is going to be 3.34 ft3 |

Bronze Member Username: KickerSlave lake, Alberta Canada Post Number: 76 Registered: Jun-05 | your subs are what they call dual voice coils- (2dvc)you need to hook both them up or you will wreck your speakers.old subs were single voice coils- (1dvc)heres a site to show you what i mean http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html |

Bronze Member Username: Jgut07Post Number: 12 Registered: Jul-05 | im heading into college and dont have 300 bucks to throw away on an amp....find a good amp for around 150 bucks on ebay then |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jgut07Post Number: 13 Registered: Jul-05 | what sounds better...what is the difference between 2 and 4 ohms....and would getting a class d amp be worth it? |

Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 778 Registered: Nov-04 | Is it 4 ohm DVC or 2 ohm DVC? |

Silver Member Username: Audiobass10Cape Coral, FL United States Post Number: 108 Registered: Jul-05 | There are no differences in a subs peformance whether it be dual 2ohm or 4ohm. The Dual 2 ohm sub can be wired parallel to yield a 1 ohm load, or wired in series to yield a 4 ohm load on teh amplifier. The dual 4 can be wired in parallel to yield 2ohms or series to yield 8 ohms. |

Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 779 Registered: Nov-04 | I need to know the impendance so i can look for an amp and there are differences in parameters of subs of the same model line of different impendances, but i dont know if that would directly affect performance, It could but it depends on the situation. |
