i have 2 arc audio ks1000.1 and i just daisy chained them and now im at a final 2ohm load. but the thing is my subs are arc audio flatline dual 4. and they are pretty much wired down to 1ohm.

and i safe? or should i stop now?

its hooked up now and sound good. but im afraid i mite mess either the amps or subs up.

are the strapped or just daisy chained? sounds to me like you should prolly wire them individually to 2ohm, 1 per amp. if they are strapped the wire them to 4ohm not 1ohm. 1 ohm will smoke the amps as each amp will be seeing a .5ohm load

so if im going to run my subs pos to neg, to pos neg out each woofer im running 4ohm.

specs on the amp are 1100@1 1000@2 850@4

can u explain strapped?

what i see in the manual, what i did it said bridge.

anyone else....

strapping basically uses both amps as 1 amp but i would prolly just wire 1 sub per amp since it wont be any different the other way and its easier for you

i have a kenwood ddx419 DD it has front,rear, and sub. should i just use a y-split on the sub preout and run it that way?
