JL 1000/1 Voltage

[deathwish666 10+ year member]

okay i have a question, for those of you who have jl's 1000/1 you will know that you need to set the voltage with a multimeter for the specific load of ohms that your running, i want to know this-

since the amp can push out so many volts for a 4 ohm load, what if you pushed those same volts at a 2 ohm load? so you will have a 2 ohm load running at a 4 ohm load, and it shouldnt overheat bc it will be pushing the same power as if it was on a 4 ohm load

if this works i would get somewhere around 1800-2000 watts out of the 1000/1 without it overheating //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

no....you wont

the way the amp works that makes it different from other ams is that at a 1.5-4 ohm impedance the amp will consistently put out roughly 1k of watts(if you have strong enough electrical)

I dont think the 1000/1 can put out 1800/2000 watts.

yea but the only way it puts out 1kw through the whole 1.5-4 ohm range is because you have to set the voltage (sensitivity) that it puts out to the subs i think 4 ohms is like 67 volts and 2 ohms is 43 volts (somewhere around there) so why wouldnt you be able to set the 2 ohms to 67 volts?(provided you have big enough subs)

you set it according to what impedance you plan to run your sub....I think that I have seen them benched b4 at 1184 rms at 14v

you wont see 1800 watts out of this amp

nooo im not talking about what is put INTO the amp...im talking about what it is putting OUT....

read up on JL's manual and you might see what im talking about

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps_pages.php?page_id=30

download the "Amplifier Input Sensitivity ("Gain") Setting Guide"

and okay maybe not 1800...but def more than 1000...a more likely range would be like 13-1500

You may see 1300 if it's underrated. But you won't see 1500 ever. It will put out the same power at any load. If it did otherwise, it would be rated otherwise. Or like you say - 1000@4, 1500@2 etc. But that isn't how it's rated. If you turn the gain up to the volts at 4 ohms, and drop it to two or one, it will clip more than likely.

lol thanks, but I do know how to set a gain.....
