how many watts should i have going to a pair of 15" JL W0's. I have a kicker amp that bridges a 480 W and pioneer bridged at 500 W. I currently have the kicker hooked up on of the subs. would hooking up the pioneer to the other be to much or should i just hook up both of the subs to the pioneer. IDK, what do you guys think??

why does one of my subs start to put off a smell like it is getting really hot...and my other one doesn't. any suggestions???

I think that the JL 15 W0's only take about 150 watts each

Mitchel....blow voice coil would most likely be why... I blew a W6v2 and could smell it...then I saw the smoke

Mitchel

can that be fixed. i mean its still sounds good but it starts putting out that smell...

you may have something wired wrong or your just overdriving the sub. If you have way too much power going into them it's fairly easy to cook the coil, and no it can't be fixed once the coil melts it will usually cease and then the sub will not move anymore.

well i stop using that sub...i am using my other 15 jl w0 with the same set up and i am having no trouble at all. both of these subs were sent to JL under warrenty and it was the first time i had started using the subs... so i dont no if i could send it in again or not
