Hookin up 2 jl 12w7's ?????, need the best way to hook them up Options

[mywhite94celicag...]

OK, to all the car stereo geniuses,


I got myself 2 jl audio 12w7's. I need an amp to push them. The problem is the subs are 3 ohms a piece. I know if you hook them up a certain way you can drop the ohms. Which way is it? Would it drop it to 1.5 ohms?


Im looking at getting an audiobahn a1500hct amp, it has
2000 watts @ 1 ohm
1000 watts @ 2 ohm
500 watts @ 4 ohm

It is a high current flow amp also. Will that automatically detect the ohms that the subs are running? And if it does, would it make it run at 1500 watts since its in the middle of 1 and 2 ohms?

Any help would be highly appreciated. Also, im currently in kuwait finishing my year term being deployed. Otherwise if i was home id go to a local installer and ask. Thanks alot to all that reply.

that isnt entirely true... if he had some crap like Boss and went all Boss then he'd be buying all new stuff soon.. . most people go with the same stuff for looks/to show off, but some go with all the same products because they are simply the best in their opinion. if he ran all JL he would be pretty happy. and every part in car audio is meant to work with every other part(different brands..etc..) unless noted on the product. i think a single 1000/1 would be fine, although they will be underpowered and in most setups the W7 needs a bit of power to do its business. so id use two JL 1000/1's but then he would Have to upgrade the alt.... decisions decisions decisions... its up to him in the end
