I would use wire to connect the subs..Lol, kidding, Go with the JL, plus the kenwood is disconntiued(sorry for spelling)

Use the JL amp.

i figured wire would probably be the best way to go lol,

but he already has both amps, im just trying to figure out how to wire them correctly for the JL amp?? there SVC 8 ohm subs and the jls specs are

RMS Power @ 4 ohm: 45W x 2 (12.5 V)

RMS Power @ 2 ohm: 75W x 2 (12.5 V)

RMS Power @ 8 ohm Bridged: 90W x 1 (12.5 V)

RMS Power @ 4 ohm Bridged: 150W x 2 (12.5 V)

RMS Power @ 4 ohm: 70W x 2 (14.5 V)

RMS Power @ 2 ohm: 110W x 2 (14.5 V)

RMS Power @ 8 ohm Bridged: 140W x 1 (14.5 V)

RMS Power @ 4 ohm Bridged: 220W x 1 (14.5 V)

I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, But couldn't you run theses at 4ohms a peice?? or could he run them in a series at 2 ohms?

no they are 8 ohm SVC wiring parallel would net a 4 ohm load series a 16 ohm load so no

i would go with the kenwood amp, wire them to 4 ohm and bridge the chans

 

[bsean63 10+ year member]

so wire them at 4 ohms in the box then bridge at the amp?

Use the kenwood for sure. It produces more power.

 

[bsean63 10+ year member]

what would the final ohm load be at the kenwood?

 

[nismos14 5,000+ posts]

4 ohm

 

[dumple 5,000+ posts]

wire them like this

then on the amp it should have 4 posts for wire from your speakers and above 2 of them it should say bridged connect + from speakers to + on bridged and - from speakers to - on bridged chan
