Question about wiring

New member Username: ZyraellConway , Arkansas USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | First of all let me say that I just joined this forum, and am just getting into tinkering with car audio sub's and amplifiers so bare with me if I come off as a noob because I am just that  . My question to you all is this. I want to wire 2 Kicker 05CVR12-2 12" 800W Dual 2-Ohm Subwoofer's with a MA Audio M1889i 800 Watt Mono-Block High Performance Amplifier in series at a 2-ohm load. First of all is this doable? And secondly is it possible to get the full 800 watts that the amp produces split between the to subs in series? If you guys could help me out with info it would be much appreciated. |

They will still play, but subs that are underpowered r just no good  |

I'm just trying to get all the info that I can before I fork down the cash. So the amp isn't really big enough to run those 2 subs. I've always heard that kicker makes good stuff, so I'm not really interested in going with a cheaper sub, but it seems that I will need a bigger amp to push them. Any suggestions? Keep in mind that I'm not trying to break myself in the process. |
