@double deez, thanks @bubbagumper6, considering i know how to figure things out on my own with a little help, perhaps you could be a little less vague and tell me how to fix my problem?

So I've hooked up 4 LED strips to my amp and a switch, like this: ---LED-----LED------TOGGLE SWITCH----LED-------LED--------- |____(+)Speaker Terminal on Amp (-)Sp. Terminal on Amp___| (That's all 4 LEDs in series drawing power from the amp, with a switch in the middle.) So all 4 are getting...

That's why I'm buying two more of the exact same. Hence my previous question about what amp I'd need. And in terms of an enclosure...I'll email you now.

One last thing...Suppose I do go with 2 more 12's instead. That's 4 subs with 4 ohms each. The two boxed ones in the back have a final ohm load of 2, and the two others would be seperated to go under my seats...so if I got a new amp, I would want around 1200 watts (300 per sub) at how many...

I'm upgrading my tweeters soon, I have Sony Xplod 6x9s in the front doors, and I gotta get some for the rear doors too. The reason I was so determined to have the 10s work was cuz the 12s were in my trunk and I was gonna put the 10s under my rear seats. Idk if 12s will fit there...oh well!

Looks like I'm gonna be selling those 10"s then and grabbing 2 more 12s, replacing with a stronger amp, and doing the big 3. Thanks everyone for helping me on this, greatly appreciated, much less effort and frustration I'll have to go through now

Alright thanks for the input. That's really disappointing! Just outta curiosity, what exactly would make them sound like crap? Or is it more of a "that's just how it is" kinda thing.

****...so is this more or less impossible to do? I got these subs on craigslist for incredible prices and they all work great too...so I really want to make it work. Could I possibly just change the above information to "I'm using one massive amp for all of them"? And in that case what amp would...

1. The model subs and amps are: 2 JL 12W0v2-4 Subwoofers = 300 Watts Each, 4 Ohms Each, 600 Watts Total, 2 Ohms Final 3 JL 10W0-12 (discontinued) Subwoofers = 125 Watts Each, 12 Ohms Each, 1000 Watts Total, (not sure the final ohms) 1 Pioneer GM-D8500M 600w x 1 at 2 Ohms Mono Amplifier 1 (No...

Alright fair enough. That's why I joined up on here, to learn as much as possible haha

I'm saying I know very little about the detailed, heavy concepts. I got the basics down, and you don't need to be an electrician to install LEDs. But rather than argue on a forum, I'm just gonna apologize for attempting to help and go on my way.

I'll admit I know very little about the principles of physics and electricity, etc etc. When I said 12V I meant the input from the battery, and mixed up the input and output in my original post. My apologies. All I'm saying is, on a conceptual level, if you wire lights to the subwoofer...

I have no idea how to set up what I want to do with my car. My set up is: 1 Standard Battery running: 1 Kenwood Stereo (50wx4) 2 Sony Xplod 6x9's (40w each) 1 Pioneer Amplifer (600wx1 at 2 ohms) 2 12" JL Subwoofers (600w total, 2 ohm total) ...and two 12" LED strips on the sub box. All of...

Just trying to help. Works for my system and a few others I've seen.

That's not what I meant, nor do I claim to be an electrical expert. I just mean the 12V current, not the actual power load that gets put out. Either way it's an irrelevant detail, the method I described is how my car is wired and works perfectly. @bigmuscles, if you need more info I can try and...
