2 subs series at 300 watts or 2 subs 150 watts apiece?

[RobertK]

2 - 6.5" massive "sumo" svc 4 ohm subs rated at 150 watts rms, 300 watts peak.

 

JL Audio 300/2 amp.   regulated power...  150 watts x 2 at 1.5 ohms to 4 ohms, no matter.  OR 300 x 1 at 3ohms to 8 ohms no matter.

         Amp warns DO NOT go under 3 ohms bridged, or lower power circuit will kick in, so 2 subs parallel won't work.

 

 

 

Currently, I have the subs series to 8 ohms, amp running at 300 x 1 at 8 ohms.   Sounds fine.

 

 

My question is...  will I get louder OR stronger bass running 2@8ohms and 300 watts (each sub getting 150 watts)   OR

                               will i get louder OR stronger bass running 2 at 4 ohms separate to each amp channel (150 watts each sub).

 

Subs are mounted in same air space box, to one side, rectangle port on opposite side supposedly tuned to 33 Htz.

I think you'd do better at the two subs on each channel but first I would definitely try to parallel them breached because 2 ohms isn't that far off from one of them and I'm willing to bet your coils might read a little higher than exactly for homes so you might be at like 2.5 ohms final at the amp why are the subs are parallel and then actually test their resistance with a meter and see what they are in the real world

I doubt you notice a difference either way. It’s regulated output so no matter what you do you will be getting similar amounts of power.

Jls regulated power is like rockfords cp kinda.

 

It will do rated across all impedance up to 6 ohms 

 

But it will definitely exceed rated at lower impedance.

[MrSkippyJ]

Up to 8 right? I didn’t see your response about going lower though.
