Winn Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) That amp seens like a mids/highs amp. Just saying its not the problem but im guessing it has all the crossovers such as highpass, lowpass? Edited December 27, 2010 by Winn Quote You know how you avoid that?

Johnsonville87 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I don't know what they are wired to but I can describe how my friend wired them which is simple enoug. There are 4 wires going to my amp, 2 positive, 2 negative all coming off the postitive and negative terminals on the subs, nothing wired fancy inside the box. Then they are twisted together and bridged to the only 2 bridgable channels my amp has, the other 2 channels are only for high pass. do a shitty paint picture of it and show us LOL ill see what i can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 yea cuz with the kickers it was a final of 4 ohm load and the JLs might be duals that could bring them to a 1 ohm load and could absolutely shit on that amp If they are singles that would mean that it would be a 2 ohm final Check the speaker terminals and it should say as an example "2 ohm MIN" I have the spec booklet and it says DC resistence 3.51 ohm and nominal impedence 4 ohm nothing about a final ohm Check on the amp, it SHOULD say 2Ω MINIMUM.

Johnsonville87 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 All i have to say if its cuz of the subs. wire them in series to a 8 ohm and see what you get you never know http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=41 Looking at the wiring diagram i can now say they are wired in paralell if that helps, I geuss i will try series, I had the old kicker wired in series but the didnt pound.

Johnsonville87 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Should I just buy a better amp what size/type of amp would you use for these new subs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
