I currently have 2 JL audio w6 connected to a box that a friend let me borrow and it only has one terminal and from there it has 2sets of wires coming out of it one for each sub but this new box that is meant for the w6 has 2 terminals so how do I wire them how I'm currently running it through only one terminal in that new box? Do I just wire 2 sets coming off one terminal and leave the other terminal by itself or what I'm totally confused and don't know how to wire them if I don't make sense let me know.

 

It would be nice to know how he has the wires to the single terminal connected to the amp, but it isn't essential to answering your question.

Your amp (assuming stereo and not mono) has a left and right channel, each with a + and - terminal. Connect the wires for one terminal on your new box to one amp channel, and connect the other box terminal to the other amp channel. You will need one new wire between the box and amp to do this.

 

This is how its currently connected to amp and it knocks!





And its only connected to one terminal i believe this way you get more watts than having them connected through 2 seperate channels or am i wrong?

 

You're likely wrong. He has both subs connected to one channel. Unless that is the bridged configuration for your amp, he didn't utilize the max power the amp can produce. Usually a bridged configuration uses the negative of one channel, and the positive of the other if the amp supports bridging. It looks like there might be a label underneath the channels indicating the bridged config.

Bridging two subs in parallel or connecting one to each channel should result in the same power output. You could always read your amps manual if you really feel like learning about it.

 

Yea I was looking at manual it doesn't say it can be bridged at all I mean I have the gain barely 1/4 of the way and I already feel I'm gonna break my rear window it sounds great you think it would be better if I wire each sub to its own channel or would I be giving it max power through only one channel?

 

I've already answered that question. Put one sub on each channel. When you put two subs on the same wire, you reduce the impedance by 50%. If your amp isn't rated to drive that impedance, you could overload it. Just wire one sub to each channel.

 

Or you increase its impedance by 50% if the subs are wired in series inside the box!

Op your description is a little confusing, but if you do indeed have two subs wired together inside the box and are only connecting that box to the amp using one set of wires, then you're best of knowing how those subs are wired together. As oo7spy already said, you can potentially fry/blow your amp if you power too small of a load (overall Ohm rating).

I agree with oo7spy though; the best implementation is to have each sub on its own terminal coming out of the box to the amp.

 

Where does everyone pull the remote turn on trigger/wire from?

 

FTFY
I don't remember specifically, but there is a power signal on the Bose amp that turns on with the HU. I'm pretty sure I used that.

 

Yup, and I still can't do inverse math on the fly. Thanks for the fix there
