Bryan Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 what should i set the dials to on my jl 500/1v2 amp to push my 12 inch Jl W3 subwoofer 4 ohms ? depends on what rms you want the amp to put out...get a dmm (digital multi meter) and set the amp that way Quote MMM BASS OATS..ITS WHAT I HAVE FOR BREAKFAST 2 AudioQue HDC3 18'' subs Rockford Fosgate T1 6.5 mids MMATS 2000.05 XS Power D1200 Knukonceptz 1/0 Pioneer Premier DEH-P490iB " Shit I can roll a blunt better than those bitches in Havana!"- Uncle Elroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pstone11 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 are they in the jl recommended box? cause my solo 15 beat my friends 2 12" w3's on a 500/1 jl amp ????

pstone11 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 just letting u know that kickers on top........... I'm pretty sure you don't need to "let me know" anything. This dude just needed to know what voltage to set his amp at. Make your own topic about how great your 15 is, just let this guy get his advice and move on. I'm not talking down to you or anything, If you put up a post on how many watts your MA amp is, I'm not going to tell you that corn grows taller in Iowa.... It's just not on topic....

dwright27 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 are they in the jl recommended box? cause my solo 15 beat my friends 2 12" w3's on a 500/1 jl amp as it should 500 RMS split between 2 woofers = 250 RMS each. you're prolly feeding your woofer all of 1000 RMS. not just that but JL's arent really supposed to be uber loud. they're supoposed to sound good and get decently loud.
