I've seen the W6's and the terminals were on opposite sides of the sub. But yes, I know not all subs are like that (even though the majority of DVC's are). And the W6AE is a 3ohm DVC like Nedgeworth said

So with 1 of them you want a Class D amp that is stable at at least 1.5ohms. With 2 of them you want a Class D amp that is at least 3ohm stable

i checked the JL website and it seems to be the other way around when wired in parallel. If i had 2 subs then it will be 1.5 ohm and since i only have 1 it is 3 ohm, but i'm not sure if i'm reading it corretly.

it's on page 2 of the pdf manual.

What they mean is that it is 3ohms per voil coil. So just think of it like you have 2subs each with a 3ohm coil. Now if you were to run these in parallel you will end up with a 1.5ohm load.

So what wvsquirrel has suggested is what you should be looking for.

I think we just keep covering the same stuff over and over here! anyone else feel like that [:P]

okay guys, JL says it's the same as the 10W6ae so all of your suggestions are good! i can't seem to find many amps that is 1.5ohm stable....any ideas?

Look into the JBP PB series amps. They are 1 ohm stable and suite your needs without a hefty price
