Fi Q 12" wiring help

[Terranova 10+ year member]

My friend is going to sell me his Hifonics XX Zeus 1600.1 for $250. I called Scott at Fi and asked him if my sub would be able to handle that much power at 1ohm. He said it should be fine as long as the gains and stuff are all set right and the voltage is stable. So, I am wondering how do I wire this down to 1ohm? It's a Fi Q 12" with BP Power and some other beefs done to it. I tried to find some wiring diagrams online but I couldnt find anything. Thanks guys.

If it's a dual 2 wire in parallel...

+ to + and - to - on the sub...then positive and negative respectively on the amplifier.

Thanks!

If it's a Dual 1, you can wire it to .5-ohm or 2-ohm.

Then you can only wire it to 2 ohms on that amp.

You ordered the wrong coil then, or have the wrong amp...

You can sell the amp and pickup a zx1500 and it will be wired properly and powered properly, otherwise you are not going to get the full potential out of the amplifier that you have with the impedance coil that you chose.

well shit

in your honest opinion, do you think i should go ahead and get this amp from him?

But those are much more expensive.

id like to get 1500-1600 watts into my Q, so what amp would you recomend to get that at 2ohms? or would it be better to by this amp from my friend and sell my amp and Q and get a 12"BL?

Get a 12" BL.

The kicker zx1000.1 you have now should be underrated quite a bit. Do you have the birthsheet?

my sub is a dual 1..

dual 1 can only be wired to .5 or 2 ohms
