I wouldn't wire the JL amp down to .5 ohms. 1.5 ohms is the lowest you can go. The JL makes the same power regardless of the load. For now I would wire all four subs into a 2 ohm load. Then later if you get another 500/1 wire two subs per amp into a 4 ohm load.

Measure your internal box dimensions with the subs out as well as the port length. Put those numbers in this box calculator and tell us what you get.

I did that on one of my RCA's and it seems fine. As an added precaution I heat-shrinked the connection.

Yes I did, I was was thinking 1000 watts a piece. he's correct.

I disagree. Although the amount off watts is the same the second options has double the cone area and therefore translates roughly into a 3 dB gain. +3 db = double the power or double the cone area.

Who actually pays to keep this site going? The forum stats say that there are 72,514 members. Because of the knucklehead moderators that we seem to have I wonder how many members actually donate money towards this site? Ignorance is bliss.

I agree with the original post. A lot of this stuff is unnecessary and makes the whole forum look like a circus. You shouldn't have to turn off the avatars in the UCP. If one must post stuff of this nature make a "Not Safe For Work" section and keep it in there.

Do you have the coaxial chambered off from the sub?

working on mine right now.

I would say get some decent quality stuff but it doesn't have to be the most expensive either. Put some work into sound deadening like the doors for your front speakers and the right specs for your sub box. You should be pleased with the results. Look through the build logs and see what the...

I used socket head cap screws and put silicone on the threads as a precaution.

Is the pre-amp voltage switch set wrong and/or the gain set too high?

It looks like it says "Crossfire" on the crossover that's upside down. I didn't think Crossfire made processors of that type.
