Subwoofer ?

I'd be careful with that JL because they dip down into the 2 ohm region and a lot of folks have reported problems with the EP2500s driving them. Check out the "Poor Man's JL Fathom 113" thread over at AVS. You might try using two JL drivers and running them in series, but that's considerably more cheese...

Not likely. The guy even said the VC DCR is 3 Ohms when he measured it with a multi-meter.. That's about right for a 4 Ohm nominal sub. I have some W7s, and they claim to be 3 Ohms also. But they are not. Running an impedance sweep shows they are about 4 Ohms nominal. The amp he used is just likely defective.

That's certainly good news. I was just pointing out that the Behringer isn't rated for ~2-3 ohms...some seem to handle it fine, but there are certainly a lot of folks that have had their EP2500 "pop" while driving such a load. I was originally looking at a pair of 12W7 drivers in sealed enclosures powered by two EP2500's, but it looks like I might have to use two in single enclosure or wire them in series.

Good to hear that your's works well!

EP2500 will drive a W7 fine in bridged mode. A non defective unit will have no problems.
