Re: Sub commong tomorrow (Son93SL2)
You should play it low to moderate volumes for the first 15-20 hours or so to break in the suspension. You will notice a huge difference once it loosens up. You could play it loud at first, but it will sound kinda bad. It is just better to break them in like a car engine. Gentle for a little while, then pound them. :cheers:
Congrats on the sub. What kind did you get?

Re: Sub commong tomorrow (DC5)
sweet! My 12w3v2-d4 is scheduled for delivery tomorrow also. I'll be driving it with a 500/1. Can't wait. What kind of enclosure do you have?
I have a 1.25 ft^3 with a sloped front. I just finished sealing the interior of the box so now the enclosure is a bit tighter.
I am going to push 375 watts at 4 ohms to my sub wired at 4 ohms. :)

Re: Sub commong tomorrow (Son93SL2)
I just picked up 2 JL 10W3v2-D2s. I put each of them in their own sealed enclosure at .65ft^3. I wired the voice coils in series to give each sub a 4 ohm impedance. I'm running them from a MTX 6500D mono sub amp at about 800 watts at 2 ohms. So each of the subs is getting about 400watts. I'm still breaking in the subs right now, but will all that juice, they don't need to move very much to pound. :smash:

Re: Sub commong tomorrow (Son93SL2)
I'm planning on wiring the single 12w3v2 D4 in parallel for a 2ohm load for the JLAudio 500/1. This will be my first JLAudio amp (I've also got a 300/2 ordered for the front speakers) and it has some type of variable regulator for the ohms in addition to the voltage. My understanding is that from 1.5-4 ohms, this amp will deliver 500w. I haven't yet started to build my cabinet. I had better get busy. :cheers:

Yes you are correct about the 500/1 amp. 500watts at 1.5-4 ohms. So if you ever wanted to add another 12w3v2 D4, just wire both subs in series for an 8 ohm impedance per sub. By hooking up two 8 ohm subs to a mono amp, it will "see" a 4 omh load. That will be 250 watts for each sub, not too shabby.
