JL 12W6 was hitting hard, but not hard enough found out.....
that my brother assumed it had dual 3ohm voice coils so I wired the coils in series for a 6ohm load.
I have a Fosgate 500a2 bridged mono running it. It hit really hard.
I just found out that the 12W6 has dual 6ohm coils, so I am running the sub at 12ohms.
I am going to wire it for a 3ohm load, so now I should be getting maximum power and it should hit much harder.
High Speed Run: 157mph
Best 1/4 mile run: 14.94@91.67mph

After you re-wire the subs, i would suggest reseting the gain on the amp.

When I drive fast, I drive alone.
That night I was racing an 80's Vette, with no traffic whatsoever on the highway.
