Ok i have a jl500/1v2 amp with 2 w6v2 subs and i haveing a problem dont no if the amp is two much for the subs becouse i turn the amp to get more tump and the subs pop and the yellow light filkes so i turn...
its real simple. your under powered.
your W6s RMS at 500 watts EACH and your sending em 250RMS (half what they need)
The 'pop' your hearing is the failure to supply enough power to draw the cone back in time and collides with the next wave of sound.
prove it?
drive a single W6 with your 500/1 bridged.
i'll bet your pop goes away.
long term, get another 500/1 or jump up to a 1000/1v2.
I also HIGHLY recommend JL's in-line audio cleaner. If i recall it was like 60 bucks but waaaay worth it. makes sure that theres no distortion in the source input to your amp(s), which...keeps your subs from trying to reproduce transients and delivers only clear signal to your subs void of all clipping signals. Its an active electronic compoent.
PS: if you are pushing 12W6's, i had the same setup once...I had W3s connected to my 500/1 and upgraded to the W6s...had the same issue your describing, and then got the 1000/1. happy ending.
