ISO Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Ya about 8 ohm would be best. As long as they are the Comp VR witch is actually the Competition D series I would recommend 125 to 150 watts RMS per woofer and a sealed airspace of 1cf to 1.25cf. These only came in a single voice coil. Edited March 27, 2010 by ISO Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

ISO Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) If they are dual voice coil then each woofer can handle 300 to 350 watts a piece and these woofers work in sealed and ported boxes. Wire that amp down to 1 ohm if it can handle it. Edited March 27, 2010 by ISO Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

kmalinich Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 If the subs are indeed dual 4, you can series the voice coils to 8 ohm, and then parallel the speaker leads to 4 ohms. Unless the amp is 1 ohm stable, then parallel everything ... which would give you a 1 ohm load. I can't find the specs for that amp online, though. I'd stick with 4 ohms until you know for sure.

ISO Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I gave you the specs on the 2 different type of Comp VR but I don't see anything in JL's discontinued amp lines. http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps_pages.php?page_id=208 Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.
