Yes even better you can hook 2 in parallel and have 1.5ohm load and do some major rockin excellent amp! jve had a lot of amps in my time been doing car audio since 89 testing and installing! For the money you can't beat it!

no.. it will be under powered.. even if the sub were a dual 8 ohm, the lowest you could wire it is 4 ohm, then you'd still be getting half power. Sell your sub because unless you're going to run 3 of them or more, an 8 ohm is pretty useless. The other repliers obviously have no idea what they're talking about so I hope you didn't buy this amp for that sub haha

No, you can just plug it into either R or L, but if you use a Y adaptor, the subwoofer would be a few db louder.

Difficult to say for sure, but your instruction manual should explain the wiring connections. Check the manual for the new name, "LFE", sub woofer is the old term...good luck.

You can find various ways to wire 3 subs online. I have 2 wired to 1 ohm, but not sure about 3

You can probably get away with just the one rca out, but you should go to the Polk website - they have a lot of technical info there on connecting a subwoofer in your system.

I'm not sure about that. There are two sets of RCA plugs on the back, input and output, but can't advise you to use them. I think you will have to call audioengine. They may have it set up so you MUST use their subwoofer.

I was advised by my stereo guy that this amp was good for (1) sub.... which I have. I have a 300watt "Total" subwoofer (JBL sub-class). Works great for my setup. Yours...... maybe not. I would suggest a dual output amp to run each subwoofer. I believe this amp is a single output. Hope this helps...

You can only wire your subs 1 or 4 ohms with dual 4ohm voice coils. If dual 2 ohm you can can .5, 2, or 8 ohm load. 1 ohm this amp will put out way over what you subs can handle. I have 2 12s on this amp wired at 2 ohm load and slams hard. My subs are 2,200 peak and im pushin 1,500 r.m.s. to each sub in ported box tuned to 38 hz. For your subs id either find a smaller amp thats around 1,000-1,200 rms at 1ohm or get different subs. This amp is no joke and is a beast

I dont think so...This amp is not work for Sub....only small out put 2 channel and will be work on regular output.

This JX1000/1D amp is not ideal for your setup. With those subs, your only two wiring options would be a final load of 1 ohm or 4 ohms. This JX1000/1D is only stable down to 2 ohms mono--in which it puts out it's maximum RMS power of 1000 watts. Your only option would be to run the amp at 4 ohms in which each sub would only be receiving 250 watts RMS a piece (500 watts RMS total at 4 ohms). If you'd like to stick with JL Audio, your best options would be either the HD1200/1 or the 1200/1v3. Both are EXCELLENT amplifiers!

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

Yes, I'm sure you can I have 12in JL Audio in mine. Box has worked out and sounds great

yes, you will need a simple RCA Y adapter, but it will cut the power to each sub in half. depending on the subwoofer, you may want to pick up 2 of these fine amps

you hook this to your stock door speaker wires to give you the low output for an amp without high level inputs. so you would not hook this to the stock sub wires. it would go to regular speaker wires.

It may...by connecting them paralleled to the amp, and installing a passive filter on the output to the 12" sub. The problem with that wiring scenario and 4 ohm speakers is that you will force the amp to run at a lower ohm load than it is supposed to accept. I would not recommend this because even if it worked, it would overheat. Throw a separate bridged mono amp with a capacitor on the sub instead...hope that helps and good luck with it.
