Adding JL 12W6v2 subwoofer to COMMAND system

I'm planning on adding a single JL12W6v2 off a JL500/1 to the C32 command system. Would I be able to use the stock sub input with a high-low converter into the 500/1? Also, would a cap be needed when I want to bump the tunes?

Cool...so you used a high-low into your amp? Do you think I need a cap for the 500/1? Thanks.

I didnt do the install, I had custom sounds here in SA do it. I believe they used a line converter. I really dont think you need a cap at all. I have 350watts to my single 12" sealed box and it pounds! I have the sub ported to the interior thru the ski hole. Good luck!

You DO need a high to low converter to install an amp.
