are the subs dual 4 or dual 2?

We cant tell u because it varies depending on how many volts the HU puts out.

I assume if he has 2 12"s and it wires to 1 ohm it means they are dual 4ohm

Does your HU have a subwoofer level adjustment? Also, what are your lowpass filters set at?

 

[vewbvye818 10+ year member]

I dont have a sub level on my HU and my filters are at 30 and 90 Hz

Would you need alot of power from your battery with this set up?

As in a normal car battery just wouldnt cut it?

Okay. 30 and 90 Hz. Can you be more specific? You have two filters. Is one for the subs and one for the main speakers? Are they set to lowpass or highpass? Do you have the lowpass filter for the subs set at 30 Hz and highpass for the main speakers at 90 Hz? Or something else?

If you have the lowpass for the subs set to 30 Hz, then that's your problem. That's much too low. Try 90 Hz.
