I looked up the correct way to wire my JL 13.5W7 1.5. Therefore it said to wire it in parrallel. I understand this will put it at .75 ohm. As I start to turn it up it sounds great, very loud but once the sub gets to a certain db it pops and cracks and the low ohm light will come on on the amp. I have it running off the JL 1000/1V2. I have the amp set up to the jl specs. Also I have wiredthe sub in a series and just does not sound like it is performing well and does not have good sound quality. It is BRAND NEW. What should I do?

There is no reason for you to run at .75 ohm. For one your Amp is rated 1.5-4ohm. So if you wired the sub in series making it a 3ohm load you are getting the most power out of the amp. Running it at .75 ohms won't make it any louder.

It's not good for that speaker at all to be wired to 0.75ohm I have one and I am tell no reason in the world to wire it any way other then specs.

    I am also pretty sure then when I was hooking my sub up it was wire to 3ohm. I have 800.1 kicker amp pushing it and brother I am telling you with the amp you have its sound should be the best in your town... So take the suck back out and take the 1#coil+ hook to 2#coil- and you should be good to go that's how mine is

1000/1v2 Class D Monoblock Subwoofer Amplifier Specifications:
　 1000/1v2

Rated Power:
1000 W RMS @ 1.5 ohm - 4 ohm (11V-14.5V)

THD at Rated Power:
<0.05% @ 4 ohm

S/N Ratio:
>95dB below rated power (A-weighted, 20 Hz - 20 kHz noise bandwidth)

Frequency Response:
5 Hz - 250 Hz (+0, -1dB)

Damping Factor:
>500 @ 4 ohm / 50 Hz


According to the chart your amp is only stable down to 1.5 Ohms, so running at .75 Ohms the noise you are hearing is the amp clipping (running more power than it can handle at low ohms)
I would suggest wiring it in series, or you could adjust the gain on the amp until the popping goes away.

Hope this helps.

Jl audio g1700
this is a mono block amplifier ,both positives are the same inside the amp and both negatives are the same ,there is 4 terminals to make it easier to wire 2 speakers . Use either positive and either negative ,with this speaker ,inside the box you can wire both positives together and negatives together (parrallel) this should be 3 ohms and the amp should run smoothly ,maybe a little warm but that amp can take it .

Just wanted to know best way to wire 2 12' JL 12W3-D6 subs to Direct-D mono D-800 amp?In series or parallel?Considering subs are 6 ohms each.can you help me?
In playing the math game in audio, I would recommend wiring them in series. This way you can take them down to 3 ohms and still maintain a usable impedance on the amp. Plus you'll get the added benifit of actual usable output.

Taking most amps into a higher impedance (in parrallel it would be 12 ohms) you might over stress the amp (trying to get reasonable volume from your setup) and then trip the MOSFETs (or whatever their using today). Not that this will ruin the amp, but repeated tripping of the current reading ICs will eventually render the amp useless.

All being, most car audio is designed to be stable at 2 ohms anyway. My biggest peave with that is that sonically, 2 ohms slaps the speakers instead of driving them, not to mention limiting the actual headroom.

Hope that helps...

I am wondering what amp i would need for 2 JL Audio W3v3 - 2ohms. I am looking for something around 200. SHould I go with the Mono block and how many watts?
well you can go a couple different directions. you can wire them parallel or in series. parallel will get you down to about 1.3 ohms at the amp and series will get you close to 4 ohms. you need an amplifier thats stable at either of those impedances. the lower the resistance (impedance) the more power your going to get to the subs. I manage an electronics store and specialize in mobile audio/video. we are a 'Signature JL Audio Dealer' so i like to say i know the product line very well. JL makes an amplifier that is stable from 1.5 to 4 ohms and will put out the same amount of power at any impedance in that range which is really nice. Its called their 'Slash Series' you are looking for a JL Audio 500/1 amplifier. Grab an 8 gauge amp kit (4 gauge would over do it) and wire 'em up. Enjoy!

My amp is protecting unessacarily when ran at 2 ohms
are you factoring the ohm rating from running them parallel?

2 x 2o subs parallel = 0.5 ohm (lowers ohm's)

2x 2oh subs series = 4 ohm

IT is posable that you are calculating the ohm rating fine, BUT some SUBS can reach lower ohm rating while hitting bass- i didnt know this till i had a rather insane sub that would dip to 1ohm while hitting hard bass causing my amp to go into protect mode.

Amp assistence
The jl100/1v2 puts out the same amount of power between 1.5 - 4 ohm loads so you dont have to really set up anything to match your sub- wire the coils in parrallel and plug it in- set infrasonic(subsonic) filter at 15 hz(lowest) set crossover piont at close to 80 hz set gain about half-or if you kow the voltage from your source unit match the source voltage to the amps input voltage setting-it should pound like a champ with no problems

Wire three 10" jl subs to jl e1200
what is the impedance of your woofers it will be a number with an Omega symbol. Looks like a horseshoe next to your woofer . Like this JL Audio 10W1v3 8ohm. Please, Please tell me you bought 8 ohm woofers JR?? Because if not, it ain't gunna happen.. If you did buy 8 ohm woofers than wire them in parrellel which means all the +'s together and all the -'s together giving you a final impedance of 2 ohms and your amp will think your a car audio GOD... But if not be ready to smell plastic burning where your amp used to be.... let me know i can walk you thru the wiring but let me know what you have. ok. mark

Three jl w3 single coil
You can't run parrallel on 3 single voice coil subwoofers. If you run all the negatives from each coil and possitives from each coil to one terminal you will be dividing the ohms by 3. I don't think JL ever made a single voice coil 2 ohm subwoofer though. If you ran a parrallel on 3 8 ohms you would be at 2.7 ohms. 3 4 ohm would put you down to 1.3

Wiring options for amp
Te dual inputsm are tied together on the output side thus having a "MONO" amp. Most class D anps are stable down to 1 ohm (check your manuel) therefore, 2 2ohm subs are a 1 ohm load. 2 DVC (dual voice coil) 4 Ohm on each voice coil will give each sub a 2 ohm load so 2 dual4 ohm V's will give you a 1 ohm load as well. Parrallel all conections.

What subs do you have? Is this amp 1 ohm ono stable?

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Two 2 ohm subs in parallel would give you 1 ohm, and two 2 ohm subs in series would give you 4 ohms. 1 ohm would be overloading the amp but 4 ohms is slightly "underloading" the amp.

Your best solution with the gear you have (i.e. not buying new subs or a new amp) is to put the subs in series (4 ohms). True, you'll be putting about 200W into each sub, but according to page 4 of the owner's manual for the subs, 200W is just a tad under the optimum level recommended for the sub anyway.
