Best set up- advice please

[Gary]

At the moment I have a Kenwood Head Unit wired to front speakers 2x50w

Then I have a bridgeable Kenwood 400w amp powering a boxed JBL 12" sub

The question I have is, I have just bought another boxed JBL 12" sub so

1) Should I get another amp and daisy chain it with the other one

2) Should I use the left and right channnels from the amp to power the subs.

3) Should i connect the cable from the two subs and run them off a new more powerful amp.

Have you got any model numbers?

Sorry for the delay, now found the head unit Number
I have also been using the input on the head unit for the Audio from the dvd player

Kenwood w7027 see here

Amp is quite old now and is in the garage so I don't have the model number to hand

It was the amps and subs I was more interested in TBH Gary I can probably tell you what JBL subs you have from a pic if they aren't written on the cone, and the amps are more likely to have the model number written on them

Jbl sub is two of these as this is the one I just won.Bit of a bargain

Amp I will check the spec 2morrow

I, err, don't recognise it I think it may be a predecessor to the GT3/GT4 series

I'd use the Kenwood amp to drive your front speakers, then - assuming that the subs are technically the same - get a mono amp to drive the 2 subs.

 

[Gary]

Yeh the two subs I have are exactly the same

I'm gonna stick my neck out and make a couple of assumptions here
Those subs are 4 ohm single voice coil and you need a 2 ohm stable amp if you wire the 2 together to show 2 ohms I would try to find out what sort of RMS wattages those subs will take and pick a mono amp accordingly
