Expert opinions needed to help me buy a amp to power my subs.

**** did i cause this on my post. i didnt mean to **** anyone off but some people need to pay attention to pics before hand it would cut back on alot of unnecessory questions. anyway @xoutofmyheadx i just looked at the sundown amp heres the problem with all four subs wire i can either have a 0.5, 2 or 8ohm load the amp wont produce a .5 ohm load, and at 2 ohms the amp wont put out enough wattage to power the subs to the max which is 1000 watt rms. i need a amp that will give me like 4000 watt rms at 2ohms or 2 amps that i can wire to 1ohms to give me like 2000 watts rms. hope im not confusing anyone. im still looking but so far nothing

You said they were 4 ohm subs. Therefore, each is D2 creating a 4 ohm final impedance. If this is the case, you would wire to a 1 ohm load.

no the amps werent strapped together. im thinking my problem came from low voltage to the amps or something. who knows im in the process of doing the whole wiring over again though. double checking everything. like i said though it was working fine then one day the amps jus gave in. but i looked at the sundown and thats not gonna work. my subs are 4 ohms each. so if i use one amp the subs can only be wired to produce .5, 2 or 8 ohm load thats all four wired together. now if i wire two together and then the other two i can get either a 1 ohm load or a 8 ohm load i think. that amp at 1 ohm puts out enough power but i cant wire all four subs to produce a 1ohm load it would be a .5 load. hope im not confusing anyone. now the cadence amps i seen would be great they are one 1ohm stable and for the price i could buy two but are they any good its the cadence zrs c1 which at 1ohm puts out a rms wattage of about 2250 which if i buy two could have like 1100 watts rms going to each subs. correct me if im wrong though. are these amps any good

yes they 4 ohm subs but if i wire all four together i can only produce a .5, 2, or 8ohm load @daboyfrumdabx

Are the subs D2 or D4?

Did you ever test your voltage, OP? Just because you have batteries, 1/0 and the big three done doesn't mean you were free from electrical problems. 4kW is no easy feat for a stock alternator

 

[man_n_da_trunk 10+ year member]

the subs are dual 4ohm if thats what u are referring to as d2 or d4. sorry im still a noob trying to get my weight up a little bit lol

That's what I was asking. I assumed that because you just called them "4ohm", that tey were D2, because D4 can't be wired to 4 ohms. In this case though, you are right about your wiring options. I just thought you were wrong because I thought you had different configuration.

just wire two and two. get each pair to one ohm and put them on two separate amps. there you go. get two aq2200d's and call it a day

 

[xoutofmyheadx 10+ year member]

yeah the subs are 1243d's dual 4ohm subs. wire them to 1ohm.

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, Two 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speakers

the .5, 2, and 8 is if the subs were dual 2 ohm.

nvmd, i forgot there's 4 subs not 2

@allcrispedup i dont have a stock alt bro. trust me im not that much of a noob to have 2 kinetiks in my trunk being juiced by a stock alt thats just foolish. i have a 240 amp alt. and as far as the hifonic amps go they are done i took them to a local buddy that owns a pawn shop and he tested them for me he said i had a grounding problem or something like that so im thinking i didnt have a good enough ground for my batteries or something. but im not worried bout that my problem is i need POWER. I NEED A AMP OR AMPS TO POWER MY SUBS ANY SUSGESTIONS TO GET AT LEAST 1000WATTS GOING TO EACH OF THESE SUBS. SO FAR NO ONE HAS GIVIN ME ANY ADVICE ON A GOOD AMP/AMPS SOMEONE HELP PLEASE LOL

 

[man_n_da_trunk 10+ year member]

@xoutofmyheadx sorry if i confused you. yea i know they are 4ohm and thats how i had them wired two on each amp that was wired to produce 1ohm loads. but if i wire all four together for one amp the ohm load would be .5 so that still leaves the question what amps can i get to power these subs. i kno one amp is out of the question. so i need two

Might be because I'm really tired but couldn't you wire 2 in series for 16 ohms then 2 in parallel with the 16 for like .9411 ohms

 

[man_n_da_trunk 10+ year member]

@ sobe3yourself thats the best answer i had. thats how i had the subs wired to the hifonics. two and two producing 1 ohm loads. what kind of amp is aq2200ds

oh ok audioque sorry who sells those
