I looked at the wiring diagrams on JL's website, http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/ Anyhow, I was curious if I solder the positive wires to the wire that leads to the amp, then do the same with the negative wires? Also, on that site, it looks like it's wired as if it was bridged...Is that...

I have a few questions about ohms. I currently have 2 DB Drive DB12D2's, which have dual 2 ohm voice coils... How would I wire these so that I'd have a 2 ohm load going to the amp (I have a 500/2 amp which runs at 750/2@2 ohms)? Thanks

Is there such a thing as a cheap, but good DB meter? If so where could I pick one up at? Thanks.

My new amp has a bass boost, and I was wondering if it is all right to have it all the way up, or to just turn it to 3/4's? What's the general consensus about the boost?

LOL!!!! I was just looking for SPECULATION, as in a guess, or even an educated guess.

I was standing on the sidewalk in my old town (it's red brick) when a kid that used to live there drove by in his car with bass pumping. Anyhow, I noticed that the bricks I was standing on were shaking as he went by. Any speculation as to what he had? I never really had a chance to talk to...

Iyo, is 16 ga. wire too small to wire subs?

Is my thinking on this correct?...I have a 300x2 amp and my subs can handle much more than this, so I'm thinking I can turn the gain all the way up. Also will this be harder on the amp? Thanks

I will shortly have 3 amps...Do I need to find a seperate ground for each?

What gauge wire are most of you running from the amp to the subs, and using inside the box?

Anyone have speculation as to why so many people find bass to be much more offensive than a loud Harley Davidson, or a vehicle with a modified muffler?

I was looking at the Lanzar Opti500x2 amp when I noticed it said 500x2@4ohms, but it also said 1,000x2@4ohms...anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks

Would most of you suggest a Lanzar OPTI500X2 over a Lanzar Vibe 261? Is the Optidrive series better than the other Lanzar products? Is it more likely to put out the wattage it is supposed to? Thanks.

Thanks, that's all I was looking/hoping for.. Btw, is that per channel or total output you're guessing?

Specs for the Lanzar Vibe 261 say the amp can put out 1200x2@4ohms. I was just curious as to what everyone thought (estimation/guess) as to how much power it'd actually put out. Thanks
