audioque1200D & Type r 4ohm

[dredey 10+ year member]

ok so the audioque does this

510X1 @ 4 ohm,

870X1 @ 2 ohm,

1200X1 @1 ohm

are these the watts?

the type rs can take

# power handling: 200-500 watts RMS (250 watts per coil)

# peak power: 1,500 watts

does this mean if i bridge my sub to 1ohm it will receive 1200 watts?

and if i hook it up to a 2channel amp each sub will get 870?

will that be good for my sub because it sayas power handling 500 but it can peak at 1500!

can someone please clear this up for me thanks

also does anyone know whats the biggest size cable can fit it in aq1200d thanks

just 1 sub could probably handle that R.

but with your knowledge, you couldnt.

those AQ specs are RMS ratings.

and you need 2 Type Dual 4 subs to run it at 1ohm to give them the full power.

i do have 2 subs im tryin to hook up both and get max power from them

so the 510, 870 and 1200 arent watts?

Yes those are watts.

if you have 2 dual 4 ohm subs, you will get the 1 ohm rating out of that amp when you wire it like this

thts what i was lookin for! thanks

those 2 pics are for a mono amp

i have a 2 channel amp so can i set it up for the 1 ohm and just ignore the other channel

That AQ amp is a 1 channel

 

[dredey 10+ year member]

i thought a channel equaled one set of positives and negatives

but the aq 1200 d has 2 sets of each

so wouldnt that be a 2 channel

 

[PaulThompson229 10+ year member]

yes it has 2 of each, but they are internally bridged so it is a mono (1 channel) amp, the reason it has 2 of each is to make it easier to hook up multiple subs.

oh ok i get it now

so this would be my best bet of settin up the aq to the type rs to get good sounding powerful bass?

cuz i thinks thats 4 ohms so cant i get it down to 2 ohms or even 1 ohm

Either that or what grandprix linked, in the end they will be the same, just because you have 2 sets of terminals doesnt mean you have to use them, save yourself some wire and wire the subs together in the box and run only 1 pos and neg to the amp.

 

[dredey 10+ year member]

so i can use whichever one of these and it ll be the same

Yes, I would go with the second option though to make it less complicated and save some wire
