Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 372 Registered: May-06 | how much can you over power them? with the W7 its rated at liek 500RMS right? but alot of people power it with the JL 1000/1? so would i be able to power them with my audiobahn amp? 1600RMS? |

Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 54 Registered: Dec-05 | People power the 12W7 and 13W7 with the 1000/1. You are supose to use the 500/1 with the 10w7. And I would advise not to hook a 1600rms amp up to your 10w6. That would be some major overkill for sure. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 382 Registered: May-06 | i have 2 so they'd be getting like 800 take a few and i'll have the gain down a bit more |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 56 Registered: Dec-05 | I see. I thought you were talking about one. I would turn the gain way down to be safe at first. Run it for a while and if need be, maybe raise it just a little. That is still alot of power to those 10w6's. IMO, I would not even try it. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 383 Registered: May-06 | is the w7 rated to be able to handle the 1k RMS? should i just sell my whole system and get a new amp for them? like a JL 1000/1? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 57 Registered: Dec-05 | Well I have a 12w7 and it can handle a 1000/1. Its rated at 750rms and 1500peak. You dont have to sell your whole system. I would either A. Sell the amp and get one to match the rms of your 10w6's. B. Sell you 10w6's and buy subs that can handle 800rms a piece. IMO, I would go with option A as you shouldnt be using audiobahn to power JL. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 384 Registered: May-06 | yea, im going to be selling my whole system. because im selling the audiobahn woofers and the custom box, so i'll just sell the amp along with it and get a 1000/1 to power the JL's. should i keep the JL's in a sealed box? or should i port it? will glass affect the sound of the JLs because im going to build my box either ported or sealed and have mirrors in it along with a neon light  |

Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 346 Registered: Aug-05 | If your audiobahn amp is 1600 RMS I would sell it and buy either a 1000/1 or something of that caliber that has 1000 RMS and keep the 10W6v2's which i believe are 400 RMS. Turn the gain to about 1/3 and that should sound good, Its obvious that the 1000/1 will sound better than the audiobahn amp you have. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 385 Registered: May-06 | yea. DR, im going to put plexiglass windows so you can see the mirrors and everything... idk if you guys get what im saying but im going to build a box with windows made from plexiglass, then put mirrors in it and have a neon light in the box aswell. yea thats what i plan on doing.selling the subs box and amp getting the JL 1000/1 for the JL w6v2's... |

Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 58 Registered: Dec-05 | I would go with a ported box since the w6's have ecxcelent sound quality. Tune to around 30-35hz. |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 386 Registered: May-06 | if i make the box about 2.3^3ft how big would the port have to be to be tuned to about 32 Hz? what would it sound best at? i listen to rap and bass songs... LOL |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 347 Registered: Aug-05 | agreed with Licid, port the box. |

|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 387 Registered: May-06 | ok... but what does the W7 factory warrenty have to do with the box of the w6's? LOL^ |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 391 Registered: May-06 | will the JL 1000/1 work for my subs? how will i wire them? its rated for only 1.5 ohm |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 59 Registered: Dec-05 | There are alot of port calcualtors online, do a google search or look around on the forums. It will help you determine all your dimensions including the port. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 60 Registered: Dec-05 | The 1000/1 has the same power output from 1ohm-4ohms. No matter what ohm (1-4) it will put out 1000watts rms. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 61 Registered: Dec-05 | Sorry, thats 1.5 ohms to 4ohms. not 1. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 393 Registered: May-06 | im only going to have 2 subs... can i wire them for a 4 ohm load? |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 397 Registered: May-06 | wont i fry the amp if i put it on a 1 ohm load? |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 398 Registered: May-06 | wont i fry the amp if i put it on a 1 ohm load? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 63 Registered: Dec-05 | its only 1.5 ohm stable, not 1ohm. look at the link above. |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 399 Registered: May-06 | that shows it for 3 woofers, i'll have 2... would i do the same thing just minus another woofer? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 64 Registered: Dec-05 | Dude, you have to chose SVC or DVC. Wich one do you have? Choose the right link. Then it shows for one two three or four sub setups. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 404 Registered: May-06 | oh... sorry... see im retarded LOL |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPheonix, Arizona USA Post Number: 405 Registered: May-06 |  thats the right way correct? |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3850 Registered: Feb-05 | JL 10w6v2's are dual 4 ohm which means if you have 2 of them you whould want to wire them to 4 ohm or 1 ohm final impedance. Im picking up my 2 JL 10w6v2's tonight from UPS since i missed the drop off today. I have a Arc Audio 1500-XXK amp and it does 900 x 1 @ 4 ohms bridged so im going to wire my 10w6v2's in series to get a 4 ohm final impedance to match my amp. Here is an example again : http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp?WoofQty=2+woofers&WoofImp =Dual+Voice+Coil+-+4+ohms+x+2 The JL 500/1 whould be a excellant match for 2 10w6v2's. You really dont need to spend extra money for a 1000/1 in this case. You wont be dissapointed with that setup. |
