[QUOTE="Fidelio, post: 8796027, member: 686237"] [B]I made some poor decisions and feel like I'm digging a deeper hole:[/B] 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. [B]Questions:[/B] 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?
