ive got two JL 10w6v2-d4's and i wanna wire them up to 1 ohm.. is this right??



sorry for the bad art haha

Yeah that's right. you could also run all coils their own + and -. As long as every + on every coil goes to the + on the amp and every - on every coil goes to the - on the amp you're in parallel and at 1 ohm. The advantage is less wire resistance if you do it the way I suggest. Then I like to terminate all 4 wires into 1 wire. I make this wire 8 gauge or 4 gauge depending. If I use 4 gauge I will get a reducer so it will be nice and clean going into the amp.

alot of work for minimal gain. i dont know what a reducer is, but for larger heavy duty systems id use a distro block to make it clean. but for an everyday system you shuld be fine tieing them all together.

i like the idea of the distribution block, that makes for nice clean connections right? alot better than twisting the wires together? i see what ur saying about using 4 separate wires per sub.. but what if i did this.. (notice the distro block i added)



good idea or no difference really besides better looking? i found a (1) 0/1 gauge in - (2) 4 gauge out. but my amp had 4 gauge terminals.. so i dont really need the reducing capibilitys, just a splicer basically... ideas?
