Max Number of Subs on One Amp

[wtcolorado]

Hey guys.

I've done my Big Three wiring upgrade with 1/0 wiring on top of my 200 amp alternator and I'm looking to get some more boom. I have an AudioQue 1200D and I was wondering how many subwoofers I could wire with it. I'm currently running two 12s wired to it at 2 Ohms for about 800 RWMS. I'm wanting to add two more of these subs to my system and wire all of the subwoofers in parallel to still present the 2 Ohm resistance to the amp. Is this safe/OK?

what subs and what coil configuration

dual 4 ohm single 4ohm ....etc...

AudioBahn AW1206T. *blushes* Don't hate. ;P They're 4-Ohm DVC rated at 1100 watts RMS.

more than 10 and you approach the electron speed barrier.....can be dangerous if you dont have a capacitor

i did that once. All i gotta say is it made for a shitty day.

Depending on how you wire them you can theoretically have as many as you want. BUT you'll be cutting the power each sub receives. a 1200D does 1200 at 1 ohm i think so if you have 4 subs and they're all wired so that the amp sees 1 ohm each will be getting 300 watts.

don't forget a flux capacitor ...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

If your subs are DVC 4's then you can not be running them right now at 2 ohms, you either have them wired to 1, 4, or 16 ohms.

Max you can do without imploding them is 5, trust me I know
