What is the difference between the JL 12W3 V2.. d2, d4, and d6. Which is the best for rap?

so im guessing you mean whats the difference between dual 2 ohm 4 ohm and 6 ohm?

well for one i was not familiar with the fact that they produced a dual 6 ohm. but either configuration will sound the same for rap. they just have different wiring options... for example
d2- you can wire to 1 ohm load or 4 ohm load
d4- you can wire to 2 ohm load or 8 ohm load
D6- you can wire to 3 ohm load or 12 ohm load

so you just want to match the sub with your amp for example.
if your amp is 1 ohm stable you want the d2
if you amp is stable at 2 ohms you want the d4
if your amp is 4 ohm stable then you want the d2
and if you have a JL slash amp you can use either d2, d4, or d6

hope that helps... main thing is that they all sound the same.

So you're going with 2 subs?
That will change the ohm loads.
You can stil go with any of them except the D6's.

he can still run the D6... that would give himn a 1.5 ohm load which a JL amp does fine. but i would just get the D2 and wire them series/parallel to get a 2ohm load.

the d6 is used mainly for 3 subwoofer systems. you can get a 2 ohm load that way.

there's no difference in performance between the various coil configurations really. It's just a matter of matching the right subs to the amplifiers you'll be using to drive them.
