Anyway, to hook up the subs so that they show 2ohms,you should run them parallel...in other wordshave a wire from the + on the amp to the + of each sub, and a wire from the - of the amp to the - of each sub. in other words, you will have 2 wires coming out of the + side if the amp, and 2 wires coming out of the - side of the amp. connect one positive wire to each sub, and one negative wire to each sub. this will pull out 300watts, however, since you are using 2 subs, each sub will only see 150 watts each, What you really need is a n amp that will give you 800watts rms at 2ohms so that when you split it, you will be giving each sub 400 watts. Only 150 watts each is underpowering them, and may cause clipping. Hope that straightens things up for you. I am not the best guy on here to ask this, so you may want to wait and see if others agree with me. |
