    How to wire 5 channel amp for 2ohm load

    I found the other post. I actually forgot I even posted that. So I have 2 pairs of NVX component 4 ohms 6.5" drivers with crossover and tweeters. Same in front and rear doors. So I can't wire these to 2 ohm? Seems I would need 2 ohm speakers? And what about the sub? Same for that? System sounds...

    How to wire 5 channel amp for 2ohm load

    I'm not sure but I think I would wire the front positives together and use the front left positive and wire both negatives and use the right front negative. And do the same for the rear. But then how does the sub work. I've attached power rating of the amp at 2 and 4 ohms.

    How to wire 5 channel amp for 2ohm load

    Hi, I have a 2007 Suburban LTZ 80mm turbo. Car audio is JVC Z1000 10.5" head unit with a Hertz HPC5D amp powering two sets of NVX components rated at 130w rms front and rear doors and a 6.5" Sundown sun in center console. Two 10" Alpine Type Rs in a ported box with Hifonics 2400.1rms Brutus amp...

    Hertz HCP5 wire 2 ohm

    Hi. I have a Hertz HCP5 5 channel amp. I'm trying to figure how to wire at 2 ohm. I know how to wire subs a 2 ohm or 1 ohm but not sure about a 5 channel. I guess the sub channel runs the same power at 4ohm or 2ohm so doesn't matter. I want to wire my interior speakers at 2 ohm. Any help is...

    Someone please mansplain subs for me

    So, the hardest hitting system I ever hear was a pair of Kicker Solobaric 12s, not sure what model with a kicker amp. Rattled my bones. When I look at Solobaric subs, they dont take much power. I was thinking they would be 1000w rms subs, but they are rated st 350-750w rms. So can someone tell...

    Subwoofer f150 truck box

    Hey, I'm building a system for a 2021 F150 that I'm buying soon. Im looking for a proper ported box for under rear seat. Looking to do four 8s or three 10s. Looking to run 2500w rms subs with a JL Audio or Kicker amp with Sundown 8s or maybe Kicker solobaric 8s. I want it to slam. So first, do...

    Help me choose subs

    I'm building a system for an f150 supercrew. Im trying to decide between 10s or 8s. I like the idea of using 8s but my concern is most of them are only rated to 250w rms so 750w rms power doesn't seem like much. My plan was to use something like a Kicker 2000w rms mono amp with something like...

    Buikd me a system

    Thanks Jeff, That is some great info. So you said not to run rear speakers. I assume that doesn't include subs. The system is going into a 2021 f150 supercrew. My last question is about subs. I was thinking of three or four 8s vs two 10s but my question is this. What rms power level should I...

    Buikd me a system

    So Im planning to install myself but I would like a good audio guy to tune it for me. I can install the hardware and sound deadening and wiring with no issue. But I have no clue about tuning. So some cost will go to install, but I have plenty of buffer with cost. I just want a dream clean crisp...

    Buikd me a system

    So that adds to my question about processing. Normal audio is 2.1, but wouldn't a processor allow for a real surround sound like my home stereo? Like mids and high come from front, mids and lows from rear. Maybe one guitar coming from right and another from the left? Im completely new to...

    Hiden like biden

    Breaker, what the **** is wrong with you. Lets take a look. Biden has never had a child or the parent of a child claim he was inappropriate with any child in his entire life. So douche bag he must be a child molester. Trump has had 24+ women claim he was sexually inappropriate or assaulted them...

    Buikd me a system

    So that is still up in the air. Prefer a base model system so I can do it all, but Im getting the 12" stereo for sure. Sync 4 and finally no cord for Android auto. Just sucks that to get one upgrade you need a $3500 package. So Im just not sure yet. The 2021 is delayed because covid and assembly...
