I have two JL audio W6v2's they have been working great until now they are both hooked up to a JL 1000/1 amplifier and all the connections are ok but only one sub isn't working and it doesn't seem like its been blown.
Try this....the speaker that is not working, gently work the cone up and down with you fingers. Be careful not to go right thru the cone. One hand underneath(near webbing) and one hand on top over the dust cover. If you hear any kind of scratching, or noise, or it's not "breathing" freely, then the voice coil of that speaker may have overheated, or the speaker has extended above and beyond its range of movement (called excursion). And may as well be blown/dead/fried..however you want to say. I hope this is not the case for you.

ok if u have a radio with sub controll make sure its on an make sure that you have the gain bassboost turned up an if it has a crossover switch make that its on
you dont want to connect both of those amplifiers together. You could run them separately to separate subs or the jl to your sub and your alpine to your front speakers. But you dont ever want to mix and match amps to the same sub. Even if you had 2 jl500/1's you wouldnt want to just hook them up together. Because they both have to be putting out the exact same amount of power. Which no 2 amps are ever exactly the same. Some companies make bridges to properly connect 2 exact amps together. I Hooked up 2 JL 1000/1's to each voice coil on a 13.5 W7 and i smoked the sub. So i definitely dont reccommend doing it unless the amps are conneccted to separate things.
its not the amps my dude ur ohm loading is wrong if u have a 4 ohm stabled amp n ur speakers r 2 ohms naw thats not gonna fly caus it cant put out what ur asking 4 so u need 2 reload ur subs try this link http://www.bcae1.com/spkrmlti.htm this should help u out n save u money
Set your gains correctly. You are overdriving the sub, causing the voice coil to bottom out. Go to www.jlaudio.com and go to the support / tutorials section and it will have a tutorial in there that will tell you how to properly set your gains. The same information is also in the owners manual that should have come with your w7, and probably also says how in your amplifier owners manual.
it is all up to the user, you can start by turning the input up slightly, I would not go over halfway because it usually starts to distort, then the bass boost up till they distort a little then back down a quarter turn.
well you would have to look into the ohms of the amp compared to the ohms of the speaker. If the ohms are different you would have to hook them up in a different way. check the RMS on the speaker as well as the amp, this can also be sufficed by wiring it different if ohms match up properly! Hope this helps you out and if this is not the case let me know.
IVE HAD 2 JL 1000/1S DO THIS TO ME EACH TIME ITS TURNED OUT TO BE A SHORT IN THE RCA IMPUT BUT ALSO CHECK YOUR RCA CABLES AND THE SUB INPUT ON YOUR HEADUNIT
are they connected via RCA jacks or speaker wire?
