TWO dual 6 ohms hookup - please help

Kevin Hobbs New member Username: Hobbskc Post Number: 1 Registered: May-06	Posted on Sunday, May 21, 2006 - 01:57 GMT I bought some used JL Audio 12W6's. They are dual 6-ohms. What kind of amp do I need to push these suckers? I have a Rockford Fosgate, but it is 2 or 4 ohm stable. Can I use that? Any help would be appreciated.

Those two 6 ohm subs can be wired to 3 ohms a piece.. can an amp that handles 2 and 4 ohms power 3 ohms? Like, say an amp puts out 200W @ 4 ohms and 400W @ 2 ohms.. would that be 300W @ 3 ohms?

Kevin Hobbs New member Username: Hobbskc Post Number: 7 Registered: May-06	Posted on Monday, May 22, 2006 - 19:13 GMT Okay. Tell me if this will work with my 2 ohm stable amp. Wire each sub in series to get 12 ohms a piece. Then wire them in parrallel to get a load of 6 ohms. Then bridge my amp to it. Would that work?

Bridged my amp for 600 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms. Works good. Doesn't seem like the amp is putting out enough power though. Got a new Kenwood Head Unit today too. Sounds so much better than factory. I ran the subs for about 10 minutes. The amp was cold. Does this mean the hookup was succesful? Peace, Hobbs
