okay lately I have been having problems with my sub(JL12w3) just not working after volume 15 on my old *** alpine head unit..After my car seems to warm up..and the amp warms up, it seems to be less of a problem..but im not sure what caused this? Is it because of the cold *** weather that we have in Michigan right now? or maybe a loose wire somewhere? any help is appreciated.

sounds like your amp isn't able to pull the power it needs to push the sub a bit harder(when u get to higher volumes), check out all your grouns to make sure you're getting a good connection.

 

no i dont think thats it because it used to hit very hard and go very loud...i dont get what happened..

 

Hey man Try your Grounds. Good Luck

 

it seems to be that once the car gets warmed up, then it works with no problem...

 

hmmm. i have a 12in JL w3. too its a dvc. Dual voice coil. I realized it would keep coming in and out. Took it back under warranty and they said one of the coils was blow. Dont know if that helps.

 

that sounds exactly like what mine is doing...thanks alot

 

how many ohms are u running.. and wat can ur amp handle.. maybe its juss ur speaker wiring... do u have it series or parellel
