Hey all, question about how I should wire my sub/amp, and if my logic is correct here.
Amp: Hifonics HFi1500D (HFi 1500D) Class D Monoblock Car Amplifier/Amp
Sub: Amazon.com : E-12D2 V2 - Sundown Audio 12" 500W RMS Dual 2-Ohm E Series Subwoofer : Vehicle Subwoofer Systems : Car Electronics
That is what I currently have, now the RMS handling on the subwoofer is 500 RMS and the amplifier RMS for 4 Ohm is 500 RMS.
I have talked to people and everyone says the Sundown can take more than 500 and also the Hifonics will not put out true 500 RMS.
SO, can I wire the sub/amp to 1 ohm safely?
If my logic is correct, if i wanted to run the amplifier at 1 ohm and only push 650 RMS so I can be safe without clipping and blowing the sub can I just do Ohms law?
650x1=650 SQRT of 650 = 25.49. So set my gain at 25.49VAC?
And also if this is correct, would it have less strain than running 500 RMS at 4 Ohms?
500x4=2000 SQRT = 44.72?
Or is my logic flawed here, thanks!
