Some Basic Questions

that's funny, speaking of learning, where did you learn? dumpster diving at car toys? check this with your digital multimeter.. 3 single voice coil subs wired in parallel is 2 ohms, correct, good for you. however, as i pointed out before, 3 DVC 6 ohm subs in parallel is 1 ohm, ass. i finished calc during my senior year at high school up at a community college. thanks for your input though.

Where the hell does it say dvc? I am sorry go back and learn your english.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

you should be sorry, he doesn't specify SVC either. and i need english?

I gotta say, JC18750, that before you start thowing that kinda attitude at established members mabye you should be around here a little longer. On top of that it seemed pretty clear to me that he was just making a joke about the algerbra thing. In the future this is why eveything needs to be explained completly. With that said GalpinAudio is right, if you read the post you would see that you need to take a different aproach to this question. If he had 3 DUAL VOICE coil subs with each coil being 6 ohms than you could wire each sub in series than wire all three subs in parellel and get a 4 ohm load on that amp. Now with that being said as well, that amp is only 800 watts max at 4 ohms bridge so I have to wonder what brand of amp it is. I didnt see it posted but mabye I just missed it. Now if this is the case and thats all the amp produces, I would tend to think that its not gonna produce enough power to run 3 subs, not well at least. I would probally be looking at two dual 4 ohm subs and wire series parellel to get a 4 ohm load and go from there.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

how well it would run 3 subs depends on the type of subs your going to get. if you want a little more bass at higher volume, go with two on that amp. personally i would go with two, and in my car, i did. if you follow the link that i had left earlier about wiring subs to different ohms, it might help him decide what he wants to do. it took me a couple of minutes to put it together and post it on my site, so i thought it might be worth a minute to look at. it'll show you how to wire what to what in order to get the ohms that you want. as for the established member, every time i try to post something, where ever it is, he writes saying that i don't know what i'm talking about. it's pissing me off, but i appologize to everyone else for my current attitude. it will stay out of the forum.

Once again I guess I implyed knowleadge. I was under the impression we were talking about the W6 being they are the only JL subs I know of with dual 6 ohm coils, and if thats the case, and thats what we were talking about, then that is definatly not enough power for them.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer
