    2 or 4 channel for speakers???

    that way of hooking up a two channel amp is only good for cars with no component speakers because of the sound blocked by the driver and passenger's legs. try placing your leg in front of a coaxial speaker in your car and you'll see what I mean. You need to be able to fade more power to the...

    2 or 4 channel for speakers???

    A 4 channel will let you fade front/back and left/right... not only that, but you can then bridge two channels to make the 4 channel a 2 channel. So you get both a 4 and 2 channel if you buy a 4 channel. I guess the only down side is that 4 channels don't usually push out more power than a 2...

    Sold Looking for a JL Audio 300/2 AMP

    Hey, Just looking to see if any of you peeps have a JL Audio 300/2 Amp for sale. I'll be glad to take it off your hands for a reasonable offer. I know JL Amps are pretty new and all, but just thought it was worth a shot to ask. I'd like to get 2 amps from the same company (already have the JL...

    Eclipse vs. Alpine

    whoa, I didn't know that. My Ecllipse doesn't skip at all, but I don't have my subs hooked up yet either. I'll inform you guys once my amp gets in if my eclipse skips and if it has the same problem as BriGuy. I really hope it doesn't. My friend has an eclipse in a maxima with boston Rally's and...

    Eclipse vs. Alpine

    I have an Eclipse HU and I can say that it is very clean sounding. I think that the Eclipse HU's all have the same laser on the inside that can read a really badly scratched CD with the same amount of clarity of a new CD. It does however become a little difficult to see in day light if your...

    Don't know how to connect my subs??

    uh, JL's website has info for 3 SVC JLW0-D4's in parallel but that sets me at 1.33 Ohms load to my JL500/1 amp and the JL's site says ic can handle 1.5 ohms minimum. I don't want to risk anything or go through an imbarassing experience when my amp shuts off as I pull up to a stop light. So, Is...

    Don't know how to connect my subs??

    uh, I guess I should be surprised that I didn't find the info I'm looking for on this guy Zane's page. I'll assume that he's the man with all the knowledge and stuff. So, I'll ask the question one more time:: I have (3) JLW0-D4's and am aiming for 2-4ohm load to my JL500/1 amp. Are there any...

    Don't know how to connect my subs??

    I got 3 12" W0-D4's and I don't know how to connect them to my JL 500/1 so that I don't go over 4 ohms and stay less than 1.5 ohms (really want 2 ohms). Could you guys give me some info and maybe a diagram on how to set this up so that I don't fry my amp, I'm kinda new at this. Thanks all. -Joon
