Here's the run down - I've got an old 12" JL W6 from about 8 years ago, seems to still be good. I've just been given a Digital Audio DA6606C amp. I would like to make the two meet but it doesn't look like they would be happily married...Here are the specs for both: JLW6- voice coils in series 12 Ohms or 3 if parrallel http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/pdfs/10_12W6_MAN.pdf Amp-75x6@4 ohms 105x6@2 ohms 210x3@4 ohms The JL's want 300W which I'm not thinking that this amp will be able to feed. Any thoughts? |

New member Username: Dumb_guyPost Number: 2 Registered: Jul-05 | unfortunately the amp didn't come with any doc's and it appears it is an old model as I couldn't find any spec's on the website. It's a 6 channel amp so the spec's for briding it I believe are what is written above: 210w X 3 @ 4 ohms 105w X 6 @ 2 ohms 75w X 6 @ 4 ohms other than that, I've got nothing. Any thoughts on where I might find out more info on this thing? Googled it and came up pretty slim... |

Especially since you if you try to bridge it you will be driving the amp at too low of an impedance. I would just sell that amp and look for a different one. That sub is going to be annoying to try to find an amp for as well. Dual 6 ohm subs were made to be used in groups of three. That way you could hook them up to a bridged 2 channel amp. My best advice would be to look for a mono amp that does about 500 wrms @ 2 ohms. That way when it is hooked up to a 3-ohm load it will do about 330 watts rms. |
