New member Username: Logan_tillePost Number: 3 Registered: Jan-06 | will that work the same for 2 ohm subs? or doesnt it madder what ohm they are? |
|
New member Username: Logan_tillePost Number: 4 Registered: Jan-06 | i wired both of my subs to a 2ohm load, but now they soud a little different then before, and they dont push out as far as they used to. since i wired them to a 2 ohm load does that mean they are each 1 ohm or are the both 2? |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 426 Registered: Aug-05 | To answer your Question about if ohms matters, yes it matters a whole lot because what ever ohms load you have your Subs wired for is the load your amp is gonna see an put out its rated power for that impedance, also you dont wanna put an ohms load that the amp isnt capable of handling Wiring Wizard http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 427 Registered: Aug-05 | Logan... Also, if your Subs are 2ohms DVC an you wire them the way Optidriven Is showing you to, then you would have a 0.5 ohms load not a 1 ohm load |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 428 Registered: Aug-05 | if your trying to wire two 2ohms DVC subs together then your options are 2 ohms, 0.5 ohms or 8 ohms ..... |

New member Username: Logan_tillePost Number: 5 Registered: Jan-06 | lets say i got a HiFonics BX1500D its 1000 watts rms at 2 ohm. if i wired my subs to it would they both be getting 1000 watts or would the be getting 500? |

New member Username: Logan_tillePost Number: 9 Registered: Jan-06 | do you think that amp would underpower them to much? |
|
New member Username: Logan_tillePost Number: 10 Registered: Jan-06 | also i was thinking about getting 2 audiobahn A8000t's. If i was to hook two of them up in my trunk could i like split the power cable into and run both amps off that one cable, And could i do the same with the ground? |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 493 Registered: Mar-04 | with the 1500d at 2 ohms each sub would get about 400w (it's a little over-rated) a pair of 8000t's would work well for two dual 2's, but you'd need 2 ga or 1/0 ga power/ground wire split to a 4 ga (8 if it's short) for each amp.
