how much can i turn the amp up without blowing these fosgate he's

It's pretty simple...

You calculate voltages based on the wattage you want to put out into the ohm load. Square root of the watts times the ohm load is the voltage you want.

And ever taken a basic physics class? Wire two ohm loads in parallel - these 8 ohms, for example - 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4. Take 1 / (1/4) and you get 4 ohms. There's a method for calculating the ohm load for a parallel wiring.

And thirdly, search. An amp, except for some class D low impedance amplifiers, can run at pretty much any impedance above 2 ohms. It just puts out less power. I'm not sure how you'd get 8 ohms out of two 8 ohm subwoofers though. You'd get either 16 or 4.

I think maybe you need to not look at the svc 4 ohm subwoofers when you look at RF's page. And pay attention to what you have.

Punch he's dont like much over 300 rms sealed.

So if your amp does 600 at 4ohm it would be a great match.

Otherwise keep the gain really low and listen to your subs, or you WILL blow them.

thanks to all the people that actually helped out.

and below me to all the jerks and douchebags that had to grow their e-penises by talking trash

Ppl aren't gonna help when all u do is bi tch and cry, this forum if full of smartasses, so get use to it ***.

Also everythng ur askin is in the gain tutorial stcky, go search and read it dumbass.

yes below me means blow me. it makes you read it and laugh.

i think this *** on craigslist sold me some junk. im getting no sound. tried a few dif sets of rcas on it but nothin. blue light is on and ready to go but nothin

Lot of local guys would be willing to help you, but that attitude brah......... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

your 2 8 ohm subs can be wired down to 4.

nah ive seen that pic. but on my amp I have two sets of +, -

and it doesnt say its bridgeable on the amp, so would I just connect each sub to its own +,- on the amp?

and i only have an attitude because of some of these ******** being rude

Yes. Some mono amps have 2 sets of + and -. My Audioque 2200D does and I had an Autotek SS1900.1D that did as well. I believe the Sundown Mono amps have 2 sets too.

LOL I wouldn't get too serious about the guys here but I know you want results.

just hooked each sub up to a battery and no movement.

looks like i got scammed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
