Posted February 25, 200817 yr so i just bought a jl 1000.1 amp and now im about to buy a fi 12Q. which voice coils should i get and how should i wire it? the box im going to build is 22"w-9.5"d-14"h sealed with 1.186^3 net air space in my tc. sorry for the noob questions, im not very good with wiring.
February 25, 200817 yr Get which ever you want then. A dual 1 ohm sub would be best in case you ever want to upgrade to 2 of them.
February 25, 200817 yr For a single Q, you can either get the dual 1 and wire in series or dual 2 and wire in parallel.
February 26, 200817 yr do dual 1 and wire to 2 ohms. if you wire that amp to 1 ohm it will absolutely drain your electrical, not saying you shouldn't upgrade anyways. But from past experience that amp runs best at ~2 ohms more than ~1 ohm.
February 26, 200817 yr It puts out the same power at 1-4 ohms.. how would it be any more draining on an electrical system?
April 2, 200817 yr Author i got a dual 1 ohm sub, now like i said im wiring illiterate, does anyone have a diagram of how i should wire it to my jl1000.1. also is that box going to be big enough? (22"x14"x9.5" exterior using 3/4" mdf) its going to be sealed. should i go a little deeper? maybe 10" or 10.5"? thanks in advance, i really wanna get this box made tomorrow or the next day.
