thanks guy, keep up of the recomendation. as i can use them.

as for the new sub, boom you hit the nail on the head. thats what i was going to do. as i got to thinking about is and figure the subs would fight each other.

so going to put the new in the box i have and use it for a few months. buy then ill have the box ready.

boy cant wait...

i started tuning the 4ch amp all i can say is ( ITS FREAKING LOUD, I CANNOT TURN IT PAST 18 ON THE H/U AS MY EARS START HURTING LOL ) i love it...

hay boom,

i have all my 6.5's hooked up..

i put the comp 6.5 back on the crossover's .

and they are still in my console.

How do you plan to run two bk 1800 since they can't be strapped and do not have daisy chain?

Just asking because I have thought about getting another one

 

[big scott]

running 1 amp per sub. running that at 1 ohm.

 

[NinjaBass]

running 1 amp per sub. running that at 1 ohm.

Yeah but I was meaning how are you going to do the rca cables

 

[big scott]

y- spliters off my sub rca from h/u .

so 1 18' rca back to amps. then ill split it so i can hook up 2 amps.

 

[big scott]

sorry the other guy wanted to know if that box for 2 subs had a divider, that would be a no.

thats why im going to break in the new sub in the box i already have. then ill put both in that box.

But when you do that doesn't in cut you pre out voltage in half? Say if you had a 4v pre out and you split it wouldn't each amp only be getting 2v ?

 

[big scott]

from what i have read no it does not work like that. whether that true i dont know. hell i have spliters on my 4ch. and it works/sounds great.

but i have been thinking about it and instead of running 2 bass nobs ill get the pac lc-1 . that way ill have 1 control over both amps.

heres a small update...

made a temp. amp rack. it looks good now. cleaned up all the wires and have all amps mounted now.

 

[big scott]
