wiring jbl 1200.1

[steadyru]

I have a jbl 1200.1 and 2 jl audio 12w3-d2's. I want to wire them to produce a 2 ohm load. The amp has two outputs. So how would I wire both the subs? Btw does anyone know about the speaker level inputs on these amps? Does using them decrease the quality compare to having RCA's?

use rca's when you can the sound quality is much better if you have a high pre-amp output, and puts less work in the direction of the amp .....as for your speakers are the 4 ohm voice coils, and I believe they are dual voice coil......Is this correct

they are 2 ohm subs and I have to use a peripheral device to get preamps off the bose system

with two 2 ohm subs you are either gonna get 1 ohm paralleled, or 4 ohms in series.......unless you get a couple more subs

that amp is stable down to 1 ohm so it should be alright to wire it like that unless you are worried about over powering the subs

if your subs are dvcs wire them down to 2ohm and one to the first channel of the amp and the second sub to the other that way you get your 1200rms per channal these amps are not bridgeable so you cant get a one ohm load for 2 speakers the amp is just one ohm stable 4 4ohmsubs two each side,6 8 ohm subs 3 on each side or two 2 ohm subs
