New member Username: AlnshanPost Number: 8 Registered: Jul-06 | I just bought 2 JL Audio 12w3v3 subs and they came in a box and pre-wired. The store I bought them from said it was wired in serial, but I have the option to wire them in parallel. What's the difference??? If I do keep them in serial...is there a different way of wiring it to my amp or can I just simply connect the red to the red and the black to the black??? |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2717 Registered: Sep-05 | the 500/1 is stable 1.5ohms to 4 ohms, and leave it series at a 4ohm load, there would be no difference in changing the wiring, except that the amp will prob get real hot or clip because it is below ohm load capability. |
