jl audio amps

I have 2 jl audio 500/1 mono block amp, and i was just curious some one who is experience audio installer can tell me how to hook the 2 jl audio amps together.

JL Audio is an awesome product I have JL Audio. Connecting amps is easy run the signal in from your radio to the input RCA's on the first amp, the run another set of RCA's from the output on the first amp to the input of the second amp.
You did not say if you were doing this for one sub or two. If you are using a single sub like a W7 it will be a dual voice coil you can connect each amp to each coil. just be observant of the polarity. The W7 takes a lot of power. now if it is for a pair no problem just hook it up like any other amp install.
If you are running the JL Audio amps and Subs it should sound pretty awesome. I have a pair of 10W3v2 with 250rms watts to each and they hit harder and cleaner than any 12" sub I have own in the past and that includes some MTX thunder 5000's I had. Really impressed with JL Audio.

Good Luck!!!

Designed amp; Installed by Jason Sobjack Custom car audio installation of JL Audio Finished Four 13W7 Four HD750/1 amp; Three HD600/4 amps in a ...

Help I want to spend around 200 to 250$ will a 500/1 jl audio amp be a good amp or is it to small

The 500/1 would be perfect but might cost 300$ or more.

Soft start turn-on prevent clicking and popping when system turns on
Dimensions: 11"L x 7-3/4"W x 2"H
Unregulated PWM switching type power supply
JX Series Monoblock Amplifier 500 rms @ 4ohms 750 rms @ 3ohms and 1000 rms @ 2ohms
Variable Bass Boost (0 to +12 dB bass boost centered at 45 Hz)

what out of this this two amps what will hit harder on 3 subs. each sub is 3200 watts and 1600 rms sub they are hifonics olympus spl.

You have 4800 watts RMS total power handling. Your car doesn't have the power to push 1200 watts RMS.

Just because the subs can handle this doesn't mean you can load an amp right with three subs with the right impedance (ohms).

If your total system power is 1000 watts RMS or more, you will need to:

1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator
2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire.

If your total system power is 800 watts RMS or more, you will need to:

1. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
2. Upgrade the "Big 3"

Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php ?file=6d26c621

A second battery is never a good idea as it's an added strain on the alternator to charge two batteries AND supply power for the car. The ONLY time a second battery is useful is if the audio system is to be used with the car off.

A cap is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. A cap doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing esle. If the current isn't there, a cap won't help. The alternator must have at least 20% more amperage power than the entire vehicle and sound system combined for a cap to be of benefit which is ironically the same requirements for an amp to be efficient.

Nickel-plated RCA level inputs
3-Way System Protection circuitry (thermal, low impedance, and speaker short protection)
Heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink for effective heat dissipation
Dimensions: 13-3/4"L x 7-3/4"W x 2-1/8"H
Nickel-plated screw terminals

it all depends which models you are comparing to each other

The best way to do it is 1 to 1, splitting the signal only from the receiver. RCA Jack splitters a cheap and very easy to install. 1 amp to one sub will give the best life to both components. Make sure everything has solid connections with the battery and a ground.
