ok, here's the problem, it sounds like one of my coils burnt on my Audiobahn AWT12x, its a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub...it sounds ugly and doesn't sound like its putting out all the power....
...now i also have a great 15" jbl psw d115 sub for home, it sounds awesome, its in a great box, however the amp in it blew a long time ago so its just been a coffee table for 2 years now.....

the jbl sub is spec'ed at: Nominal speaker impedance: 8 ohms, Subwoofer power (RMS): 350 watts



is there anyway i can put this big *** sub in the trunk of my maxima and hook it up to my car audio subwoofer amp?, the amp is a jbl bp1200.1, it's spec's look like this:

Model BP1200.1
Peak Power (watts) 1200
RMS at 2 Ohms (watts) 1200
RMS at 4 Ohms (watts) 600




how can i safely hook this up, will it work, i've heard you cant stick a car sub in your home, but can i do it the other way around?

the tuning might not be right for a car.. so check that out.. also its prob not meant to be jerked up and down as you drive.. so I dunno whether its a good idea.

Your amp prob puts out max power at 4ohm safely?
The HT sub will probably not be able to be wired to 4.. if it's at 8.. you're getting half the power to it.

Best way to use it... take out the bad plate amp.. drill a hole through it
pass the wires through it
caulk it and then connect to amp.

Also be sure to strap it down somehow or it can be dangerous

my amp has 2 outputs, should i run it just off one, or bridge it, or run both positive and negative into the speaker?

it'll be fine, but when you connect the amp, the sub will see ~300 watts or so.
