I have a ported box with 2 JL Audio 10W6V2 speakers, both are dual 4 ohm voice coils and I'm running a JL Audio 500/1 amp. What would give me the most output from this set-up? If you've read some of my previous posts you will know I am a novice when in coming to wiring..series, parallel, etc, so I'd need details on his this should be wired. Thanks

ps. Please don't reply with your suggestions of what amp I "should be using" or anything like that, this is what I got and what I am using. Thanks

If that is the Slash series, you can run at 4 ohms and still get the 500 watts. The Slash series is designed to run the same power through a lot of different resistance loads. I don't think they run 1 ohm stable though.

Yeah, its the slash series, I have read that the output is the same from 1.5 - 4 ohms, but how would I even get 4 ohms?? If I have a 4 ohm dual voice coil speaker wouldn't I only be able to get 2 or 8 ohms out of it depending on how its wired?? Like I said I am a novice so don't really know the ins and outs of this stuff.

You want to series the voice coils of each speaker (achieving an 8 ohm load), then parallel the subs together to get a final 4 ohm load.  I've done several systems with that same setup and got awesome results.  I'm very sure you will be happy.
