I just put in my amp and have a re audio mx 12 running at one ohm,why is it that it doesn't sound loud? I was wondering if i need to upgrade to a o gauge power and bigger alternator?please help me out guys.

Not too sure of the power that amp makes at 1 ohm but I am sure zero gauge wire mis a must so you dont starve it for current, upgrading the alty will help immensely in keeping up with voltage dips.

its suppose to make like 3000 rms at one ohm,but it seems like it barely pushes the sub.i am trying to figure what the hell it's wrong.I did test it out with a bass cd, and i was raising the volume and it was getting loud, but the battery gauge started to go low!!

the sub is supposed to do 1500 rms at one ohm!

then upgrade your electrical. your trying to run 3000+ watts on a stock electrical

im runnin 3000 watts off of a stock electrical system...works just fine...Could it be better...yea, but that isnt why he isnt getting any power. Something else is wrong if the cone is barely moving.. Im going to guess your wiring isnt correct on the subs. Also what type of box is it in?

How do you wire it to get it into one ohm

 

[bigdaddy49022 10+ year member]

it's a dual 2 ohm

ported.I had it running to a kicker 1200 rms one channel, and you could here the bass, but not loud enough!

Small box for being ported...

Pos to pos, neg to neg then to the amp...

sometimes i do feel that my wiring could be wrong or the sub,I don't think it could be the amp, because it turns on and it's new!
