Check me, audio gurus

Basic stuff here, but I need a double-check.

I decided to go with the Kenwood eXcelon amp to power my two JL 10w3v3-4 subs.



The subs are SVC, so I am planning on wiring them in parallel, like this:







If my math is right this gives:

1/(1/4+1/4) = 1/(2/4) = 4/2 = 2 ohms



The RMS power rating for my amp @ 2 ohms is 700W x 1 ch. Since I have two subs I just divide the total power, right? So I'll be sending each sub 350W?


I know they can handle more than that, but I think it will be about right based on JLs own diagram:








Is my math right here? Anything off? I know I could send them even more but I think 350W to each will be fine for now. If I'm unhappy with them, I'll upgrade.

 

Everything I've found agrees with your calculations.

 

yes that looks right to me

 

Thanks guys!

 

The diagram you posted will net you 2 ohms.



If you wanted 8 ohms, you'd need to do this.

 

Broken back glass or GTFO!

 

No high-school boom-boom for me.

 

Best place to find out your wiring: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp (just plug in # of speakers & independence). This works too: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Vm2B2tcdQOf/Learn/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html

 

That's a great site Andy.

 

Sweet, Andy, thanks!
