    Help with aftermarket subwoofer cutting in and out

    Dont know. That depends on your other speakers and the 5 channel amp you are looking for. I do know that the kicker amp can push 200w to that speaker when it is wired at .5 ohm (per online details). That is a good match for that speaker. Some other amp might not work as well, but might be good...

    Think you want the PXA200.1 not the .2 version which is for two separate speakers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help with aftermarket subwoofer cutting in and out

    Good luck! Possibly try both wiring approaches (on the speaker coils) and see which one works the best. But am guessing the amp might already be bad. Instead of getting another subwoofer, I would agree with above comments and get the right amp that matches the speaker needs. Sent from my...

    Help with aftermarket subwoofer cutting in and out

    I am guessing at some of this. Someone more knowledgable about the specifics will provide better advice. The speaker you bought is the 1 ohm dual voice coil. Which means it can be wired in parallel or series at .5 ohm or 2 ohm. I believe the stock TJ speaker is a 2 ohm dual voice coil which...

    But i bet it isn’t stable at the .5 ohm it may now be wired at? I am not familiar with the stock amp capabilities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help with aftermarket subwoofer cutting in and out

    Sorry. Meant .5 ohm or 2 ohm with the 1 ohm DVC (parallel vs series VC wiring). With the 2 ohm DVC you can wire it for 1 ohm or 4 ohm. Like mentioned, only certain Amps can drive the lower ohm ratings and not sure the stock unit is up to those tasks. The matching amp that kicker sells does a...

    Help with aftermarket subwoofer cutting in and out

    Sorry, I missed the point about using the factory amp. Did you follow the instructions with the kicker to properly wire the dual voice coil to get the right Ohm rating that the stock amp is looking for? Trying to remember the details about the dual voice coil for that speaker, but thought you...

    Help with aftermarket subwoofer cutting in and out

    I would take a wire and ground a mounting bolt of the amp or a dedicated ground coming from the harness out of the amp to a good known ground on the body/chassis. Where is the amp located? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Upper Front Savvy Control Arms

    I have access to a free set of upper Front double adjustable aluminum arms that I would like to repurpose to another location on my Jeep. Can I take the fork end (axle end/no joint) out and replace with a new JJ end and just use in the upper rear? Am not aware of the center section lengths and...

    Need new headlights...

    I also went with this exact approach. For the money, it is hard to beat. Plenty of light for normal driving and while not legal, I have not been flashed nor bothered by cops. LEDs are often a trigger for police to check if you are legal (I know many LED are legal). The e-codes matched with...

    Hello from Oshkosh, WI

    Katuhstrofik, I am also located close to You in Wisconsin. I have a Rubicon LJ with a 4 inch lift w/33s and my son has a TJ with the OME 2.5inch lift w/31s. I like how mine looks, but his definitely rides better for around here. Unless you head to the UP or the locally famous “pipeline” (1.5...

    Salt prevention in rust belt

    I do a low pressure rinse of under carriage about once a week. Will not wash away FF. Park jeep in heated garage, let all snow melt away and wash it from top to bottom in garage. Never use a high pressure system on any of my vehicles (cars, trucks, jeeps, tractors, and ATVs). Top to bottom...
