Hey guys, I'm definitely a new guy when it comes to car audio. But I have no problem taking constructive criticism. I'm in Okinawa Japan driving a 1997 Nissan Silvia S14. Anyways, here's the set up I'm planning, let me know what you guys think and give me some advice.

Subs: 1 10" JL W7, 2 8" JL W7

Amps: 1 JL 500/1v2 for the 10, and 2 JL 250/1v2 for the 8s.

Wiring: 2 AWG from the battery to distribution block. From there it splits to 3 4AWG to the amps.

This is all in the works, nothing has started to be built yet. My main question is, how do I run 1 REM wire to 3 separate amps?

Welcome

Can help with the REM wire only, run one from the HU to the sub amp and then small pieces from sub amp to amp 2 and amp 3. Assuming they are nearby.

Shop around a bit before going straight for JL. Don't get me wrong, they do make quality products. But their prices are a bit far in my opinion. Check out Fi, Image Dynamics, Sound Solutions Audio. What are you looking for? Sound Quality or do you just want to be loud? And what are you planning to spend?

I'm going for sound quality. The money isn't really that big of an issue and the JL fascination is something I've had for about 7 years now. My main question is do I go from HU to 1 amp and then from there to another, and then finally the last, or from HU to 1 amp, and from that amp having seperate wires to each of the other two amps?

Don't get different sized subwoofers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Just daisy chain them. The purpose of a remote wire is to turn the amp on when the radio is turned on. As long as they're touching the terminal with a good connection, you'll be fine.

It's the same thing, whichever is easier for you.

If you get more than three amps, or any other accessory that needs a REM wire, you'll need a relay.

If you really want JL equiptment, I vote to skip the W7 and move to a 12W6v2. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Nice sounding woofers. They're not as loud as W7's, but they sound nice.
