sws8x install with JL xd400/4 install help
Hello.
I've been putting this off for two years... but I am going to really do it this time I am about to purchase sws8x and JLxd400/4 to upgrade my sound system. I bought Technic's harness and JTSHERRI's spaces so I could DIY the install. Before I proceed I want to make sure I have everything correct. I am new to this so please bare with me. Does this look right? Where do the RCA cable from LOC go on the amp? Do I need LC2i? Thank you |

Why would you use a 4 channel amp to power two subs?
It goes harness-->LOC-->amp-->speakers. RCA on LOC go to input on amp. The LC2i is an LOC. If you come out of the meet tonight, I can explain it in person if you want. |

From reading old threads... I gathered that this was a good combination. Is it not? |

Not sure what thread you read to verify but if you're running two subs, all you need is a two channel amp. |

I think the xd400/4 puts out 75 watts per channel at 4 ohms
But if you bridge 2 channels, you get 200w per channel

Just make sure that you get the SWS-8X and not the SWS-8Xi. The XD400/4 is not 2 ohms stable in bridge mode. A better suggestion -albeit more expensive- is to get a pair of Jehnerts midbass, a Musicar Trunk box and an XD500/3. No need for SWS-8 spacers. I sent a harness wiring diagram to you at the time of purchase. Please send me your email again if you do not have it. |
