Two 12 W6v2 Help!

you can wire them into a 4 ohm load with no worries.

 

here's how you should wire them up to get a 4ohm load.

 

in my opinion though I wouldn't get that amp. I would be looking for an amp that would probably give you 800 watts at 1ohm or an amp that will give you 800 watts at 4ohms.

the problem with the amp you picked is that if you wire the subs into 1ohm it's way too much power and you'll risk frying the voice coils.

Did you already buy this stuff or are these just suggestions? What's your budget?

 

well, since you have it already just wire you subs like the diagram i attached above. that will put you at a 4 ohm load. you'll be giving 325watts per sub. you should be fine like that and your amps should run VERY cool that way. Hifonics are 1ohm stable but your subs can't handle that kind of power.

 

650 watts is plenty of power. Just use one terminal at the box. your amp probably has 2 sets of connections but you just have to use one set, it's all connected as one inside the amp anyway.

Hifonics is a lot cheaper than a JL amp. If it were me, I would just use the Hifonics.

 

I would just keep the Hifonics if i were you. no need to trade it. It's a good amp. what kind of box are you going to use for your JL's? sealed? vented? are you making your own or buying a ready made?

I would be more concerned with the box than anything. the kind of power you are pushing to your subs doesn't mean a thing if it's in a crappy box.

 

the amp you have now has more power than the 500/1. unless you want an a jl set up keep what you have. that way you have the ability to upgrade to more power in the future.

you wrote that you keep blowing fuse's. how big is the fuse under your hood?

make a list of all your equipment so we can better help you with your problem.

 

ignore the last post^^^. i didnt see the other thread before i read this.

 

you got it right.

 

yup, the 100a fuse was too small for what you have, that's why is kept blowing. What kind of bass do you want? most of us around here use ported cuz we like really loud bass.

 

ok, the good thing is that your hifonics has two sets of terminals, right? if so then you can wire it up that way. Anyway, the Hifonics mono amp was made to make installation a lot easier so you can do it that way.

your Hifonics isn't a 2 channel amp. it a mono amp but has two sets of terminals, they all meet up as one in the inside
