Im helping a friend match two subs with his amp and hes thinking about the JL 10W3v2s.
They are 6ohm DVCs.....what load do you get with 2 of them?
Cant find anything online about it thanks

'IF' they are 6ohm DVC,meaning each Voice coil of 6ohm impedance.
then you can either get a net load of 6ohms by wiring the VC in parallel and then the subs in series,
or a net load of 1.5ohm by wiring the VC in parallel and then the subs in parallel.

OK, thanks Vic.
Assuming that the JL 10W3v2s are 6ohm DVCs....
He's gonna want a load of 1.5ohm
I apologize but i dont understand how to wire a VC in parallel then the subs in paralell. Could anyone explain in detail?
Thanks

simpl;e wiring guide. makes seeing series and pararel a bit easier.

None of the wiring diagrams have a two subwoofer 6ohm DVC choice, so what am i to do? Follow the diagrams for a 2 or 4 ohm DVC?

that was just to show you the differnce between parrelel adn series so you could see how it works... 6+6=3 or 12 bascialy uou can wither double or divide the number mattering if you use series or pararelel

Okay thanks i get the idea now.
SO, its possible to get that 1.5ohm load?
If so, i'm gonna need some help doing it cuz i dont understand what "wiring the VC in parallel and then the subs in series" means.
