this question has probably been asked a thousand times but i got 2 audiobahn flame q woofers 900rms a piece.. and unfortuntley budget has allowed me to only be able to afford a 800 watt kenwood amp KAC-7201. The amp is 2ohm stable whats the best way to wire this up to get this most amount of power to the audiobahns? All the diagrams i see dont show how to wire dual 4ohm voice coils with two woofers in 2ohm to the amp??? Right now its only hooked up at 4ohm so its only putting 150rms into each sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

It would help if you mentioned what subs you had and the Voice coil configuration as well.

Otherwise.. how are we supposed to recommend a wiring setup?

How exactly do you have them wired up? Wire them to 4 ohms. "Bridged". Maybe you already have them wired like this. Did you wire them?

didnt i say dual 4 ohm voice coil audiobahn flame q's ? ? LOL

its setup now to be a total of 4ohms tho. From the fosgate site shows how to wire 2 dvc 4 ohm voice coils to 4 ohm but i need 2 ohm !! so if i bridge it to the amp it will make it 2ohm ?

No, if its bridged it wont see a 2 ohm load, if wired right it will see the 4ohm load in "bridged mode" somewhere close to that 460x1 rating. You dont need it to be a 2 ohm load. someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also curios, where are you getting that you need ot run it at 2 ohms?

dunno lol just figured since it makes the most power in 2ohm that it would need to be in 2ohm?.. whats the best way to wire it up ? ?

you cant wire two 4 ohm dvc subs to 2 ohms only 4 or 1 ohm.

unless your amp is 800w at 4ohm bridged (or 400w X 2 at 2ohm), you sh!t outta luck. either get a new amp, or play them at 400w

the best option for you is to wire each sub to 2 ohms then run 1 sub per channel---but that only puts you at 230 watts rms per sub----time to upgrade in my opinion.
