Bronze Member Username: Cplaya280Quakertown, PA USA Post Number: 95 Registered: Oct-05 | Ok I have a kicker L7 dual 2 ohm and I have a Audiobahn A8000T amp. What would happen if i do the sub in parallel wiring, I know it will make it 1 ohm load but would it do any harm to my amp. Becuz I see the only otha way i can wire it is the series wiring but that would only give me a 4 ohm load and i want as much power as possible to come outta of subs. please help |

Audiobahn has enough reliability issue's running within their specs let alone over running them. The only way to run that sub is to wire it to 4ohms or get 2 and wire them to 2 ohms. |
