hifonics = 38.7I'm sorry I"m so stupid i forgot to mention the watts.well the hifonics is rated at 1500 watts x 1 @ 1ohm but I heard it's over rated so I don't really know the real wattage it will be putting out.the JBL is rated 104 watts x 4 @ 4ohm
thanks in advance
that's a pretty small amp for 2 subs. turn your bass boost off.Hi, I have two Rockford p210d4 4 ohm subs hooked up bridged to a rockford p5002 amp. I tried this method, and my subs were crackling and making bad noises like zapping/ electrical sorta after I increased the gains until 44.7 v. The subs and amp are new, and before I had the gain on 0. This was also at a much lower volume than what I tested them at. I have an Eclipse cd4000 hu, and the volume was on 55 when I did the voltmeter gain setting, after when I hooked back up the subs, they were crackling on 45. I turned the gain back down until they sounded OK, which was from about 2/3 when I tested it back to about 1/3. I have the lp on 80, and everything on 0 except sub volume is the highest it can go. Bass boost is 1/4 or less. The subs are so quiet, you can barely hear them. Is that normal for these subs? Can someone help me out? This is the first time I installed an amplifier before, but I think I did everything OK. Sorry this is so long. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif Thanks for any help you can offer
I have a Lanzar 286 and I have it wired 4 ohms ...... whats the number im looking for? I dont understand the **** JL audio thing thing..
yah im kind of ignorant cut some slack....
and help plz ftw.
300W is what? Sub or amp rms?sorry for the newbie question
running 2 subs single 4 ohms coil rated at 300w rms each. and connected in parrallel --> therefore a 2ohm load , do i add the rms wattge in the formula?
eg sqrt((300+300)*2)=34.64v
correct?
Ok. Your subs can handle 300wRMS continuously, so you'll use 300W only. It doesn't matter how you connect them parallel or series, they'll still handle only 300w. But I'd use the amps 800w as the goal, therefore you'll get better sound quality with less volume.sorry dude, i should elabourate
Im running an orion hcca d2400 monoblock which is rated at 800w RMS at 2ohm
I have 2 clarion subs rated at 300w RMS each, they are single 4ohm coil subs, I want to connect them in parallel on the amp which means its a 2ohm load
since the total rms wattage of the subs is less than that of the amp
that is, 300w + 300w = 600w
i used that. is this correct
therefore v = sqrt ((300+300)*2)
v= 34.64
arnt i supposed to use the lesser on of the two
hmmmOk. Your subs can handle 300wRMS continuously, so you'll use 300W only. It doesn't matter how you connect them parallel or series, they'll still handle only 300w. But I'd use the amps 800w as the goal, therefore you'll get better sound quality with less volume.
Anyways, set as you want, but use 300w instead of 600w. Your target voltage is 24.5V.
