question about voice coils??
ok i have a JL D4 w3 12 inch sub...i wired it using only one voice coil...is that a good thing? its been a year already since i did this and is too lazy to take out all the screws and rewire it so it uses both voice coils...i have burned out a sony amp, and a fosgate amp within a year....hahha...
...so before i get a new amp should i wire it so it uses both voice coils or is it ok just to keep it the way it is just using one voice coil..thank you sir

Rep Power: 0 whaaaaa? only using one voice coil? im surprised youve gotten this far man... you have 2 voice coils at 4 ohms each.. you can wire it to either 2 or 8 ohms... what kinda amp are you using now, just so we can tell you how to wire this

PPIs are nice, but that's really expensive for 350 watts rms [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] keep looking [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
