I need subwoofer help

[Sean Baltagi]

I have 3- jl audio W3's... Should i wire them in parallel? or series?... whats the difference? any pros and cons?

Thanks

Sean

parallel in my opinion series would have a power drop from sub to sub

 

[Frank Marano]

the difference is what load, in ohms, your amp can handle. This determines the amount of power the amp can and will put out. Check this wiring guide from rockford foasgate for wiring options.

You need to know what kind of load your amp is stable at then you can determine how to wire it. If you wire it wrong your amp could go into protection (if your lucky).

i am pretty sure with those subs (if they are 6 ohm) will need a combination of both series and parrallel to get to the desired ohms (4 or 2 according to you amp). go to this site: http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html its jl audios tutorials for how to wire all thier subs in any combination you desire.
