3 8w6's FTW

[angrytrucker78 10+ year member]

So while I'm waiting for my BM's to arrive I had a little free time and wired up some 8w6'd up 4ohm and put them to the Sundown 1500D...Jesus do they sound good with only 450watts going to them. I can't imagine having the 2 12" BM's in there with all 1500 going to them!!!!

Here's some pics of the ghetto temp install:

I got a feeling the 8's will not like 500 each

You can easily attenuate the final output down to an acceptable level using the input sensitivity adjustment.

Just because that amp can make 1500 watts at whatever impedence doesn't mean it has to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah but the little I'd gain wouldn't be worth pulling the subs out to rewire them. I set the gains properly for the 4 ohm load @450=42.4 volts.

I didn't say I'd win any awards by it...I was bored so I threw it in and turned it on.

I don't need any help. I just hooked it all up for shits and giggles. I'm not keeping it like that because nothing is secured anywhere. I took it all out after I took the pictures.

It's really not as bad as it looks there.

But anyway, what would be the best way to go about getting that to look better. I originally had a 1/0-4 gauge distribution block, but that 1500d takes 1/0 so I had to scrap that plan. I'm fairly knowlegable(sp?) when it comes to these things but I can't seem to think of a better way.

not bad. I liked the trio of 12W3's that I had but I really am in love with the sound of my Arsenals....
