Installed sub and amp....now very disappointed!
I recently installed a JL 12W3 with a JL 250/1 Slash Series amp. I used the JL speaker to RCA conversion wires on the subwoofer connection. I twisted both wires together on the converters then connected that to each wire. When I turned the radio on I was sadly dissappointed on how weak the subwoofer was. I know the 250/1 won't make ears bleed but the setup now is better but not by much than stock. Any suggestions on how to improve my system?

If I'm not mistaken, you're underpowering the sub by half it's RMS. It seems the amp is 250 watts RMS and the sub has 500 watts RMS.

OK today I rewired the rca converters. I wired the positives together and the negatives together and that fixed the issue. I guess I misunderstood the person that told me to twist the wires together. Thanks for the suggestions.

Nah the enclosure is fine. Problem was definately in my wiring. After I rewired the RCA converters the subwoofer pounds now. Thanks for all of the input though.

Are you using the wires from the rear speakers or the wires to the sub. If you wire the converter using the wires that go to the sub you will get a cleaner and more amplified signal to the amp.
