Question for you guys...

[dmbrichie 10+ year member]

So I got all my stuff now

2-Jl 13tw5 -3 ohm subs

1-Rockford Power 600x2

2-sets of Rockford Power 6.5 component systems

I know I kinda screwed up with buying this amp seeing as how it won't go to a 1 ohm load, but I have it and I was hoping to use it obviously... I talked to the guys at my local car audio shop and they said it was possible to run my amp at a 6 ohm load to run the 2 3 ohm subs... I was gonna run the subs in series to gain this 6 ohm load... However looking at my amp specs it doesn't even show the amp rated for a 6 ohm load, any ideas guys??? Please let me know asap, thanks alot...

it will work but 6 ohm will show very little power. I would either do 3 ohm bridged mono or 1.5 ohm stereo if it were me and see if it worked. Because 6 ohm will show no power

Well if I run it at 6 ohm it will basically be 300 amps total, so 150 to each sub correct??

Sorry, won't it be 300 to each sub if I run them in series?? If that were the case, JL only recommends about 250...

And how would I wire it to run 3 ohm bridged anyways????

Come on guys...I need some guidance here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

200W x 2 @ 4-Ohms RMS

300W x 2 @ 2-Ohms RMS

600W x 1 @ 4-Ohms bridged RMS

1-Ohm x 2 Stable

2-Ohm x 1 bridged Stable

you could try and run it in parallel bridged and see how it works but it will be around 1.5 ohms a little lower than specs or just play it safe and run one sub on each channel
