hey all, just wanting to know if the jaycar Precision Response Car Amp 2x150WRMS be able to power the jl audio 12W3V2-D4 sub that has 300 W/RMS, 900 W/PEAK?? also i got a jvc kd-g525 h/u. just using the standard speakers but i will buy better ones.

How many ohms is the JL sub?

 

[VX_GIANTZ]

it comes in either 2, 4 or 6 ohms?

 

[azzfox]

Just did some research and its Dual 4ohm (DVC). The amp will put out 500wrms Bridged at 4ohm so the answer to your question is Yes.

 

[semi]

if its a DVC 4ohm, you cant run it at 4ohms. Have to run it at either 2 or 8 ohms

it comes in either 2, 4 or 6 ohms?

There is different wiring configurations to change Impedance (ohms)

 

[VX_GIANTZ]

which would be the best ohm sub to use? Dual2, dual4??

 

[azzfox]

The amp does 500wrms at 4ohm Bridged. So Id go with Dual 4ohm seeing you can wire it to a Total Load of 4ohms.

You need a dual 2 ohm for that Jaycar amp. If you have dual 2 ohm, you wire the coils in series to make the sub 4 ohm overall, which is what the amp can handle.

If you get a dual 4 ohm like azzfox said, you can only wire in to 2 ohm in parallel or 8 ohm in series, which doesn't suit that amp at all.

JL has an excellent tutorial/FAQ section on their website, go have a look at that
