I recently replaced my JL 12W6's with 3 12w3v2's. I want to place one of them (12w6) in my other vehicle using a Hifonics Zeus 5 channel ( 50x4 + 200x1 @ 4ohms). The sub only has 2 wiring options for using 1 sub, 12 ohms or 3 ohms. What would be the best option and why/why not? I want to use 1 sub and 1 amp for space reasons.

i would run it at 3 ohm if your sub can handle the load...let us know if it is 2 ohm stabe on the mono sub channel

I would run your sub wired at a 3 ohm combo, and wire it to your sub channel in stero mode, this will get you about 250rms at 12 ohm you would barly move it
