Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 401 Registered: Sep-04 | That link doesn't work for the subs, are they dual 2 or 4 ohm, or single voice coils? And what is the RMS of each sub? |
Anonymous | The subs are 12" DVC Pioneer Primiers TS-W1241DVC to be exact http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/vgn/images/portal/cit_3442/37583tsw1241 dvc.jpg Thanks for your response. |
Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 405 Registered: Sep-04 | If they are dual 4 ohm, which it looks they are, you can only wire them to 4 ohms, and 1 ohm! Go here to see for yourself. http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html Now that amp you have is 400rms @ 4ohms, or 800 @2 ohms, the best you can do is 4 ohms, provided they are dual 4 ohm voice coils. You will be underpowering them, you made want to get a mono amp!!! Sorry man! |
