how to connect jl w3

[smokindanks]

I have two 12" JL W3-D4's, and two JBL Bp 600.1 amps. What is the best option for setup. I am not really to sure about the specs on the jl's?

parallel them together.

so if i parallel teh voice coils the'll be 2ohms, then the two speakers in parallel will make them 1 ohm, and i wanna run them off of 1 of my 600 watt amps? or do i wanna just run the voice coils in parallel, making them two ohms each, and run each speaker by itself with an amp?

I don't know if the amp is too much power for one speaker, or if the amp will be stable at 1 ohm running both speakers...

600 watts RMS each??? If so you will blow the sub out.

no, just keep the gains low.

why cant you just use one amp for the two subs? is it not stable at the right ohms? if so, you'll save yourse;f work and space if you sell those two for an amp that will work.
