Thanks guys. The thing on the roll off makes sense. Perhaps I will accept this as roll off and just continue on Referring to question 1, its best practice to have both amps (sub and fronts) set to the same crossover. Considering some rolloff will occur, this way im not missing out on any of...

Hey gang. So I finally tuned my sub amp yesterday after repairing my JL subs that the foam was messed up. Everything is generally in order but it prompted me to examine some of my setup. I had a few questions. (Setup below) Questions ========= 1. Right now I have both my sub amp and front...

my amp doesnt do 1ohm. I plan to keep my 2 4ohm DVC subs at 4ohm to the amp

Hmm, the thing that Im unsure of is how the amp bridges this. My subs are not wired to one another. I do have it so that on a single sub, one - goes to one +. The unused - and + go to one of the ports on my amp (- and + respectively) I do this for both subs. With this said, since its a mono...

Hey all, finally got my subs fixed so readjusting the gain. Getting myself confused so I wanted to run this by everyone. Setup Alpine PDX 1.1000 mono amp 2x JL W6v2s (12") - 4ohm DVC Based on my my reading here is what im calculating 2x 4ohm subs = 4ohm at amp 4ohm x 1000w = 4000 sqrt of...

when you say not to pull it, which step on this are you referring to? Thanks for helping a newbie Speaker Repair instructions - Speaker Foam Edge Replacement

It may have been from some of the crap in the trunk but one day was listening and next it sounded funny. Looked in the trunk and one of them was messed up. Not realizing it was an easy fix, I unhooked and ran off one (after adjusting amp accordingly). 5 months went by and same thing. One day...

Is it common for these things to go? I was thinking next time to get a grill so nothing in my trunk could touch it. I rarely have crap in there (like groceries or whatnot) but perhaps this is a common thing with age. If it really is just $60 every few years no biggie but just trying to...

Heres a snapshot of my 2 subs. This is just the foam piece right? Thanks!

Sorry I know what you're thinking but I'm having trouble deciding. Right now running Alpine pdx 1.1000 amp to two JL W6v2 12". Both have messed up foam surrounds. I didn't realize they had kits to fix so I planned to get two SWR-1223sd alpine to replace. Anyhow the fix is like 60 bucks and new...

Definitely good news. Debating fixing mine rather than get new Type Rs

Looking at these to fix my JL W6s. Any thoughts on if they will hold up? Thanks JL AUDIO 12" 12W6 v.2 Woofer Foam Edge Replacement Repair Kit # FSK-12JLv2 | eBay

Ok let me ask this. Right now Im using my amp to do the crossover (set at 110). I assume its better to do this in the amp than via the HU? Or should I be doing both? Thanks

so from the sounds of it, assuming price is the same, I should get two 2ohm DVC subs. I can still run this at 2ohms to my amp, and if I ever sell them, together or separate, they can be run at 1ohm or 2ohm which is more commonly used. Sound about right? Thanks!

Ok thanks guys. Let me ask. Which is more popular, particularly for single sub setups? Figure if the day comes I need to resell I would have better luck. Also, generally speaking, if an amp says its rating for the same power at both 2ohm and 4ohm, would you feel confident to run at 4ohm? Thanks
