Jl 13w7

[tnguyen600]

So I'm almost ready to install my 13W7..just waiting for the 1000/1 V2 amp to come in, should arrive tuesday.

I was looking at the owners manual for the 13W7 and it said that when I wire up the voice coils, it needs to be wired in series or parallel. What does that mean? I'm use to just hooking up the red and black wire, but since this has dual voice coils. Thanks in advance. Heres some pics just for the fcuk of it

Thats probably the most important thing with this sub. DVC subs can be wired up three ways, with your + going to one of your + terminals then out of that - terminal to the other + then out of that - back to the - on your amp, this is called in series. Another way is run a wire to the + then form that + to the other + and do the same with the -, this is called in parallel. The other way is to wire the two voice coils up independently from a two channel amp but you have to make sure both voice coils are getting exactly the same going to them. The reason for wiring them up in series or parallel is the amount of ohms they will draw. If your amp will take it you can run this sub at 3/4 of an ohm witch is like wow sh@t your gonna need a good amp. Or at three ohm witch is still quite low but doable. Or a two channel amp that can go down to 1.5 ohm.

Before you wire this sub up spend a bit of time here http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/index.php?

You will be glad you did after spending all that dough on that shiny new sub
