do you want them wired to 1.5 ohms or 6 ohms?

i dont know, whats best?

 

[Acidburn 5,000+ posts]

depends on what your amp is stable at

well right now i dont even know what my amp is capable of...

its a boss so i know it sucks..

anyways, it just says 1600 watts...

i dont know if its like 1600.1, 1600.2 etc...

so what you think?

give me y0 2 cents //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

im guessing its about 400w tops

wire the subs to 1.5 ohms by paralleling the VCs and then paralleling the two subs

just connect the wires exactly like the picture and it will work

 

[JL_W6_v1 10+ year member]

ok this is my wirings right now..

i know why it was confusing for me....my amp has only 2 channels, therefore i had to lose some power to the subs in order to hook up my tweeters to the amp...

so right now my wirings is pos and neg from amp to 1 sub. then i have 2 wires paralleling from pos and neg from 1 sub to another.
