[QUOTE="MikoJL, post: 8677529, member: 677282"] Hello all. New to the forum here. Sorry if this is a stupid request and If i describe anything incorrectly go easy on me. lol I recently replaced my old Subwoofer with a new JL 13w7. Please enlighten me if my settings are set correctly or if anything needs to be fixed. INFO: Subwoofer- JL 13w7 1.5 - 3ohm Sub JL Website states 1,000 Watt RMS. Sonic states 1,000 to 1,200 Watts RMS. Subwoofer is Wired in Series for 3 ohm. Amp is a Rockford Fosgate T1500 -1bdCP 4-2-1ohm Tuned using a 30hz test tone with multi-meter. I have my voltage set at 55 which at 3 ohms = 1,008 Watts according to ohms law- Source RapidTables.com For fun I played a 50hz test tone and my meter read 62 volts equaling 1,281 Watts. Stock head unit. 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Volume at 25 for test. No clipping and no distortion. I also have a worthless Punch EQ that I cant use if all the settings are done at the amp but Max RMS is 1,500 - 67.08 V so I might be able to move it up a hair once in a blue moon to get a little more if need be. Made a custom box with JL Specs. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Attached some pics to show what the build looks like.
