https://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/7876.pdf What's your intended impedance load with two of these subs, 4 ohms or 1 ohm? Use https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42 as your guide. For the 4 ohm impedance, jumper wires are used for a series connection, then the subs are paralleled together. ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

well, i want both 2 dvc 4ohm subs wired so i get a 4 ohm impendence so my ppi a1200.2 amp runs in 4 ohm which will yield the bridged mono wattage amount, but i cannot seem to get the jumper wires correctly to get 4 ohms impedence output. thanks for the manual i have it already, but both pics have jumper connected for 2 or 8ohms. i need final 4ohms after they are wired in series or parallel.

too bad the jl manual only has jumper pics for 8 ohm and 2 ohm, how about 4 ohm?

if using the second option #2 config. to get a final 4 ohm, but lets take that option 2 pic and apply it to the jl sub jumpers, start at the right end sub. label it the (neg.) vc1- to vc2+(pos) , so what happens to vc1+ to vc2-? so how do i appy the option 2 pic setup, to match the jumpers on the jl sub. am i missing something?

Wire the jumpers as in diagram A in the manual, then negative from first sub, to negative on the second sub to negative on the amp, and positive from first sub to positive on second sub to positive on amp.

You seem to be missing the fact that you have TWO of these subwoofers (unless I read your post wrong...). Each sub has voice coils wired in series to 8 ohms. So you have two 8 ohm subs. The two subs are parallel-wired to each other to make a total 4 ohm load. ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

seems logical to me. Dont forgtet about the woofer configuration tool on this site. ------------- "People with mullets live 40% longer" - Ricky Bobby

so what you guys are says that using diagram A, even though only one jumper wire is used, the wattage still flow thru both coils? these subs are dual 4 ohms, each coil is 4 ohms, they are wired like in diagram b (vc1- to vc2-) then ( vc1+ to vc2+) in the manual its final nominal impendence is 2 ohms(factory wired).
