I made some poor decisions and feel like I'm digging a deeper hole:
I bought a JL HO112rg-w3v3 (2 ohm 12" subwoofer with enclosure) and paired it with a JD500/1 mono amp.
I wanted more. I did not want to sell what I had and buy two 12w3v3s and a box to house them (stubborn.)
I have (2) JL 8" microsubs not in use and intended to use those with the 12", but research made me realize that was not a good idea.
Instead, I purchased another identical HO112rg-w3v3 and a older model JL amp, JX500/1D (small differences in specs, same wattage.)
The plan was to daisy chain (not strap) the amps and run each amp individually to a separate HO112rg-w3v3 and gain matching either by ear or with a multi-meter.
Questions:
Will the minute differences between these 2 amps create issues? Do I need to have an identical JD500/1 for this to work?
Is this a bad plan to begin with? Will these separate signals create noise cancellation or distortion?
Is two enclosures entirely unorthodox and weird? Does it pose any disadvantages compared to having a singular enclosure?
Would the gain have to matched to a near exact level? Can it just be close enough without creating issues?
I should have purchased two 12"s in the beginning, but this is the predicament I find myself in.
