I have a JL Audio 1000/1 amplifier and trying to figure out what subwoofer will go best with it? Will one 12w7 be good with it? or the 13w7? I know that the 12w7 runs at 3 ohms which is louder than the 13w7 becuase the 13w7 runs at 1.5 ohms. Also what is a cap? should i get one? What does it do and where can i get it? Thanks anyone for the help in advance. |

First the impedance (ohm) only dictates how you wire things up and what load the amp will read. And secondly the 1000/1 is rated at 1000rms at 1.5ohms-4ohms. |

So you can run a 12w7 at 3 ohms on a 1000/1 amp? |

dont need the cap and you cant get the sub to run at 4 ohms. only at 6ohms or 1.5ohms. In your case you will want to wire it to a 1.5ohm load.
Do it like this...dont worry about this being for a DVC 4 ohm sub...

them subs aren't dual voice coils, i think they are all single 3 ohm, so no matter what you do your goin to have a 3 ohm load unless you get 2 and knock it down to 1.5, but it really doesn't matter what ohm it is at with that amp |

The 12W7 and the 1000/1 were built for each other. |

JL 12W7 is a SVC 3ohm sub. So you can't run it at 6ohms nor 1.5ohms. |
