JasonsKreationz Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, quick question. I'm wanting to get as much out of my JL Audio J2 1000.1 mono amp as possible so I want to run it at 1 ohm. At 1 ohm its rated at 1000x1. I haven't bought my subs yet, but I am planning on running two 12" JL Audio W3V3-2ohm. I believe I know how to wire it, but I can't find a diagram anywhere to verify it. If I were to buy the 2 ohm subs, wire like the diagram below, it would be running at 1 ohm right? Do you guys see any problem with this?

baaudio Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 that is correct. just wire the subs in parallel and you will have a 1 ohm load.

kickass audio Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 yes you would wire it exactally the way it is in the diagram. the diagram has different impedances than what you will have. Just do this.. 1.) Take the positive and negative of both your subs and connect them both together at the amp. So lets say that the positive of the left subwoofer will be connected on the same terminal as the positive of your right subwoofer. Do the same thing for your negative terminals. I prefer to connect the subwoofer wires together at the amp because its easier if you are using bigger speaker gauge wire it will be hard to combine them on the subwoofers terminals since the terminals on speakers are so damn small.
