Anonymous | I ran a 4 ohm DVC AW1000Q's to a JBL1200.1 and im getting a Green light. I ran 12g speaker wire and ran a wire from the + on one side to the + of the other and the - from one side to the - of the other side. I then ran wires from the remaining + and - on the sub to the first set of the jbl amp. Is this correct to get 600W RMS at the sub? |

Anonymous | GlassWolf, that is how I have it hooked up. But I have two subs on the the 1 amp. Sorry I should have mentioned that. Is that correct then? |

I was doing three things at once when I answered that and didn't scan through the thread. check ground and power.. check wiring again. most likely if its not working, it's just a wiring problem. |
