Hello all. New to the forum here.
Sorry if this is a stupid request and If i describe anything incorrectly go easy on me. lol
I recently replaced my old Subwoofer with a new JL 13w7.
Please enlighten me if my settings are set correctly or if anything needs to be fixed.
INFO:
Subwoofer- JL 13w7 1.5 - 3ohm Sub
JL Website states 1,000 Watt RMS. Sonic states 1,000 to 1,200 Watts RMS.
Subwoofer is Wired in Series for 3 ohm.
Amp is a Rockford Fosgate T1500 -1bdCP 4-2-1ohm
Tuned using a 30hz test tone with multi-meter. I have my voltage set at 55 which at 3 ohms = 1,008 Watts according to ohms law- Source RapidTables.com
For fun I played a 50hz test tone and my meter read 62 volts equaling 1,281 Watts.
Stock head unit. 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Volume at 25 for test. No clipping and no distortion.
I also have a worthless Punch EQ that I cant use if all the settings are done at the amp but
Max RMS is 1,500 - 67.08 V so I might be able to move it up a hair once in a blue moon to get a little more if need be.
Made a custom box with JL Specs.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Attached some pics to show what the build looks like.
