[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7228869, member: 629857"] Well if the sub is a pre-built package and only has one speaker terminal its most likely single voice coil. (just because I would think that jl would not want you to take it apart to rewire it) so thats the case you will want to bridge your stereo amp to a single channel, this should be clearly marked on the speaker terminals of the amp. You will have a one + and one - wire if you've done it correctly, the + goes to the + or red terminal, the negative goes to the other. This will give you a 2 Ohm load per amp channel (not real important to understand at the moment but defiantly do some reading about the subject here.. [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/"]Basic Car Audio Electronics[/URL] You will want the "LPF" switch turned on position, the gain (input sensitivity) should never be set to max. Half way or a little more is about typical for most systems, read that site and read about the "gain". [/QUOTE]
