hmm i dont get why it wont work..

 

[boltpride 10+ year member]

because when u connect ur subs to ur amp itll get down to 1ohm. Ur amp isnt one ohm stable, i dont think. lol. Srry me sleepy.

 

[johnnyblaz3 10+ year member]

what kind of amp do i need to work with these subs

 

[johnnyblaz3 10+ year member]

hmm ok so i need a amp thats indepence is 1ohm -8 ohm.. well thanks for the info

 

[boltpride 10+ year member]

unless theyre dual 2's? lol

 

[johnnyblaz3 10+ year member]

wait doesnt it say the 2 subs would make it into a 2ohm load.. are you sure you did it right.. look at the first diagram

 

[johnnyblaz3 10+ year member]

it just says voice coil

 

[boltpride 10+ year member]

well if put two 2 ohm subs together at the amp i *believe* it makes 1ohm. lol. thats what ive always been told. If im worng **** does that blow.

 

[johnnyblaz3 10+ year member]
