Also is your amplifier a mono or multi-channel model? It should say on the subwoofer itself what the resistance of the voice coils are, and if you aren't sure about the amplifier, you should be able to look up the model number of the manufacturers website to get the specifications on it. After you get that information, check out this website for your subwoofer wiring: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp |

If they're dual 2 ohm you'll wire in the same manner for a final impedance of 2 ohm to the amp. Set your gain accordingly. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 14079 Registered: Dec-03 | with the JL slash series amp, you need to come up with any load that's between 1.5 and 4 ohms at the amp. with that in mind, use this calculator: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp The JL amp has a regulated output so any load between 1.5 and 4 ohms will yield the same power to the subs. 1Kw total. |
