    help with choosing amp

    Due to space constraints I have chosen a JL 13TW5-3 as my sub. This subs impedance is 3 ohm. would i be better to use a 4 channel amp to run both my front comps and my sub or should i run my sub off of a mono amp such as an alpine MRP-M500 amp. Thanks

    how do you test an amp to tell if it is bad

    well i jumped the remote wire and the power wire and the amp turned on so it must be the remote wire not hooked up properly. thanks for the suggestion

    how do you test an amp to tell if it is bad

    it is grounded and the remote wire is hooked up although the remote wire may be messed up it was missing from the harness and i had to replace it with a different wire. i think that is probably the problem. can you run the amp without this wire?
