[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

i have one 8ohm single 12 sub and a single 2 or 4 ohm not sure 10" sub either way whats the best way to wire this setup to a amp should i go mono or 2channel

and yes i kno a 10 and 12 in seperate boxes will prob sound like crap but its for a friend of mine and they are my subs and i am giving them to him and he just wants some bass i plan on building a big sealed box for whatever is the best

so should i just put the 12 in a big box or run both

also the rms on the jl 12 is only 125 and the mtx 10 is 200 what will be louder it will be in a cars trunk

i would say just put the 12 in a box dont go too big tho look up box specs and put the 12 in a box close to same size as reccomended

yeah different size subs, not usually recommended. Different impedance subs...electricity takes the path of least resistance, not sure how that would work out for you.

will it be louder/sound better than to have a 10 and a 12 together also

the 12 is a jl audio only rated for 125rms how much can i give it to get the most out of the sub

naww just use one sub cause if u have in differ boxes and differ size then one sub will cancel out the other...best bet in my eyes is just go with the 1 jl 12

jl is a good company u could give it say about 150 rms
