Wiring/Audio Suggestions/help...etc...

Setup: Three - 10JLw0
Box: JL Power Wedge - Sealed
- 4 ohms single voice coils
- 300 watts rms/each

Please take a look at the image and tell me if this is feasible. Also, any other suggestions/input would be appreciated.

Amp: I have not chosen 1 yet. Suggestions on brand/specs would be greatly appreciated also.



Note: This is going into my wife's 20th Anniversary MKIV Golf 1.8t

I was thinking perhaps parallel would be best too. Thanks!

Also, since the subwoofers are rated @ 300 watts rms a piece, wouldn't a 1000watt mono amp be "over powering" it?

You always want more power on tap for headroom and better dynamics.

33 extra watts to each sub wont damage them

Thanks. Much appreciated. I'm learning more and more as I keep trying to find answers to my own questions.
