Jordan Kushner Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 here is my setup in the way of bass. 2X Jl Audio 12w6v2 1200/1 HD amp Does anyone know if it is possible to get the full 600 watt rms to each of the subs? The person ho installed said that it isn't possible because the amp is only 1.5 ohm stable or something like that. Any JL Audio people out there that can help me out? Im getting maybe 400 watts to each sub and one of them just blew. I am thinking that may have had something to do with it being underpowered?? Thanks
08tahoe Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 That amp is 1200 watts rms at 1.5-4 ohms.. How many ohms are your subs and what did you have them wired to?
08tahoe Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 And you can't blow a sub by it being under powered you blow it by clipping..
Jordan Kushner Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Posted May 18, 2012 And you can't blow a sub by it being under powered you blow it by clipping.. I did notice clipping.

Trey_Dog650 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 then why didnt you stop it so you didnt blow your equipment? 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
Trey_Dog650 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 your probably at 1 ohm then 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
08tahoe Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 If they're d4 subs then you can wire them to 1ohm or 4ohms. And like trey dog said they were probably wired to 1ohm.. I would've had them wired to 4ohms.
Jordan Kushner Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Posted May 18, 2012 then why didnt you stop it so you didnt blow your equipment? It only clipped once. I was going through the break in process. It wasn't at 1 ohm. I had professionally installed and the installer said that I could never get the full 600 watt rms to each sub because anything under 1.5 ohm can cause damage to the amp. He absolutely hates JL and I don't think he completely knows what he is talking about.
