Help with JL W7

[swifthieu 10+ year member]

Hello Everyone,

I have a JL Audio 10W7AE-3 (10W7AE-3 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Drivers - W7AE - JL Audio) and this is my third time blowing out one of the coils. The coil that blows out is the one that makes you feel the hit or a sharp hit, according to how I set it. I am using an Alpine PDX-M6 (Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.) to push it. I set the frequency to the lowest I can on the amp which is 50Hz, set the Subsonic Filter at 15Hz, and have the gains at more than half, but lest than 3/4. I like to feel the bass more than hearing it, so my preference is to feel as much as I can out of the bass. Is my set up underpowered for the subwoofer?

Um I think you may want to read up on how these things work then you may understand why this makes 0 sense.

IDK?

read the manual set your gains correctly ......

capacitor needs to be added to your system to dampen the current load through the coil from the amplifier in order to ease up the strain on it.

i really hope your joking

I hope you're not trolling but...

1) Not sure where you got your information about the coil that makes you feel the hit but that's untrue.

2) Raise your SS

3) Learn to set the gains since you are probably clipping the hell out of it.
