20 Most Recent Jl Audio 12W6 Car Subwoofer Questions & Answers

Sounds like you are running your subs at to low of ohm. Amps are rated differently on the levels of ohms or resistance that they can get to. If you have a dual 4ohm sub and run it in pairrell it will drop to 2ohm and if you run the same sub in series it will be 8ohm. Your amp will go into protection if the ohm is to low.

Hello shermalestuc,

The JL Audio 12w6 v2-D4 has dual 4 ohm voice coils that can be wired for either a final load to the amp of 2 ohms (parallel) or 8 ohms (series).

If your amp is 2 ohm stable, the best power solution for a single sub is to use the parallel configuration, both positives and both negatives together and then to the amp.

try fixmyspeakers.com they can almsot def help you

the wires or the or is the subs haves many watts

oh no you need a more powerfull amp i recommend selling the one you have and upgrade to a bigger amp ive had the same problem or if not unbridge your amp so it dosent work the amp to much

these subs are rated at 400 watts rms ... hope this helps

any 800w should do

i'd say the whole cone

Specs say it depends on the impedance of the speakers. https://www.jlaudio.com/products/jd250-1-car-audio-amplifiers-98360 https://www.google.com/search?q=jl+250%2F1+amp.+Wiring+diagram ..

sounds like the amps not rated for the resistance tha subs have it running at....are they a dual 2 or dual 4 ohm?is the amp rated for 1ohm? sounds like amps going into protect mode

Sounds like you either shorted something out or overloaded the amp. Is there any odor coming from it? If so It will need to be repaired or replaced. What did you have connected to it and how was it wired?

You will need to open it up to see if anything damaged. That does not look good at all from the outside.

In your world, what does best results mean to you. how are the hifonics mounted? open air, closed box, vented box (optimized to what freq)? trunk or inside vehicle? all these variations weigh heavily on your configuration. As does what 'best results" means to you.
