Ex-CON Unregistered guest | I have the hifonics bx1500d amp. I was wondering, what kind of a fuse do I need to stick into the fuse holder that is by the battery? Also, I am totally confused how to wire two 12" Eclipse Ti that are Dual Voice coils at 4 ohms into parralel so that my amp will be pushing them at 1500 rms @ 1 ohm. A link to a picture diagram would be greatlly appriciated. Thank you all. |

Ex-CON Unregistered guest | These are the ones Im getting. THey are dual voice coils. http://www.eclipse-web.com/sw9100/sw9122.html I think it says each coil is 4 ohms. So does that mean the subwoofer itself is 8hms ? And I wont be able to connect them together in parallel in order to get one 1 ohm? Please advise so that maybe I can cancel the order before its too late. Thank You all. |

Wire them just as I said which is parallel.And you will be down to 1 ohm.I am sorry.It was very late!It's all Here.. . . http://www.lalena.com/audio/faq/wiring/ |

Ex-CON Unregistered guest | I have two + + and two - - on my amp. So when I wire the coils together and then the subs, I should have only one + and one - going into one - and one + on the amp. Does this makes any sense what I've just said? |
