Bronze Member Username: Marley289Post Number: 28 Registered: Nov-04 | are they dual 4 ohms or dual 2 ohms? if they are dual 4 ohms you want to make sure you amp is 1 ohm stable and that your subs can handle how much your amp puts out while runnin at 1 ohm. if your amp isnt, run is in series for a 4 ohm load. the 1 ohm load will obviously give you more power but a lot of draw from the battery, you may need a capacitor. a 4 ohm load draws less power. |
