Click that, and check how your W0's are wired. They are single voice coil right?

to be real honest Im not sure. I know its an alpine v12 and its supposedly 500 watts. It says dc straight on it. I got it second hand from a friend. I dont know much about this stuff. But it sounds ok

^^^right right,

After I said they were single, I then had dual pictured in my head, lol opps. Anyway, hes right about your amp most likey can't handle a 2 ohm load. What model is it.

If they are single 4 ohm subs, they are probably down to 2 ohms. If they were DUAL v.c. they would be 1 ohm.

How do you have the JL's wired together? The impedance may be too low for the amp in bridged mode, sending it into protection mode. Most 2 channel amps are only 4 ohm stable bridged.

What is the voice coil on the JL's? Single 4 ohm? Dual 4 ohm?
