I have a JL Audio 1000/1 amplifier and trying to figure out what subwoofer will go best with it? Will one 12w7 be good with it? or the 13w7? I know that the 12w7 runs at 3 ohms which is louder than the 13w7 becuase the 13w7 runs at 1.5 ohms. Also what is a cap? should i get one? What does it do and where can i get it? Thanks anyone for the help in advance.

First the impedance (ohm) only dictates how you wire things up and what load the amp will read. And secondly the 1000/1 is rated at 1000rms at 1.5ohms-4ohms.

So you can run a 12w7 at 3 ohms on a 1000/1 amp?

dont need the cap and you cant get the sub to run at 4 ohms. only at 6ohms or 1.5ohms. In your case you will want to wire it to a 1.5ohm load.

Do it like this...dont worry about this being for a DVC 4 ohm sub...

them subs aren't dual voice coils, i think they are all single 3 ohm, so no matter what you do your goin to have a 3 ohm load unless you get 2 and knock it down to 1.5, but it really doesn't matter what ohm it is at with that amp

The 12W7 and the 1000/1 were built for each other.

JL 12W7 is a SVC 3ohm sub. So you can't run it at 6ohms nor 1.5ohms.
