what was your old amp? did the old amp use that bass knob also? If the old amp wasnt a JL amp the bass knob may be the problem. they are not universal. yes most use a standard "phone cord" but the electronics is different.
Tried the 9v test and the sub didn't move. Pretty sure I blew it going from 300 to 600. Sub is rated for 500 max, thought I'd be safe keeping it turned down considering to amp is 100% efficient as well.
The speaker cone may not move but listen carefully for a scratching or popping sound when you attach/detach the battery to the speaker terminals.
Just because you ran a 500 watt speaker with a 600 watt amp doesn't mean the speaker blew. I've seen 500 watt speakers blown while on 200 watt amps.
Use your volt meter(try both AC & DC) to see if you have any output from the amp. Try it with both the sub connected and not. Being that it sounds like a Class D amp, the output will need to see resistance.
I'm sure Amazon would let you return it once it arrives. Unless you really want 2 12s.
About two minutes away from just ordering a w6v3... Checked the specs and the box is deep enough and the w6v3 actually requires less sqft than the w3v3. If it doesn't work out, I'll just order another one and get a foxbox lol. Anything else I need to consider upgrading? I believe the sub power cable is thick enough. Have an lc2i and a jx600 as the amp.
Yeah, ditch the LC2I and buy the PAC AP4-CH41 it will give you preouts for subs mids and highs just as the aftermarket head units do. The LC2I if hooked to the sub wires is limited in frequency at 38-85hz lower than 38hz the frequency drops off super fast.
I ran a volts test to see where the crossovers were set from factory.
Well.. this sucks. Ran the test with subsonic at 10 low pass at 90.
40hz 44.3 volts
if you wanted to set the SSF to 26 you would need the voltage to be 31.32 volts.. as you can see the factory crossover for the sub had me limited to 31hz..
39 43.1
38 42.2

meaning you dont even need to set your subsonic filter or low pass filter the factory amp has already done that for you and it sucks..
If you "blew" the sub its because you sent a dirt clipped signal to the sub and it burnt the coil.. LC2I is good at this! It will happen over and over until you clean up the signal and stop clipping your amp. set gains correctly.
its literally plug and play. I have pictures on one of these forums of the install.. I even daisy chained the BCI ch41 to it so I have the PAC BCI-CH41 chained to the AP4-CH41 everything works as designed.
