New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | I've got a 12inch audiobahn pro compression piston 2400max 1200rms dual 2ohm voice coil sub, and a 2400 watt max 2 channel 4 ohm amp.... the manuals say nothin about how to wire a dual voice coil sub and how would I since the 2 coils are 2 ohm each?? What amp HO alternator should go with this setup....? |

New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-05 | The sub is 1200 rms.... and the amp is 2 ohm stereo stable, doesn't say 1 ohm stable... |

New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 3 Registered: Nov-05 | 2 x 600W rms at 4 ohms, yea I guess I'll have to.. |

New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 4 Registered: Nov-05 | Problem is everything matches except the impedance.... so I just wire each coil to it's own channel hmm? |

New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 5 Registered: Nov-05 | Heh nope I didn't pay too much at all, and I've read that post before in fact. Most audibahn subs are low end, I've read a lot of reviews from different speakers vs. prices, and the new Compression Piston 10 and 12 inch audiobahn's have held their own in the reviews I've read... xcept the damn thing weighs 30 lbs, I'm more questionable about the amp really  |

|
New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 6 Registered: Nov-05 | Ah, ok. Well I got the amp when I was planning on getting 2 10 inch subs, but ended up just gettin one 12 when I considered the space I really had... |

New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-05 | LoL @ "planet crapio" ...... anyways I was planning on upgrading my electrical system this week, a HO alternator 150/200 amp maybe. I hope that'll cover it....I already have a crappy a** 400rms amp which was professionally installed......with 4 gage cable at my request for future uprgrades  Also getting a capacitor, will I need more than 1 or 2 farads? |
|
New member Username: Originalryan_1Post Number: 8 Registered: Nov-05 | I plan on changing it or upgrading if I don't like it... but I keep price in mind too. I was lookin at the eclipse titanium series.... which use dual 4 ohm coils.....but at $300+ I'd like to try this one first |
