Well i just bought a brand new hdc312 and a aq1200d. i was told it was dual 2 ohms and i didnt bother to check and when i looked inot it it is actaully a dual 1 ohm sub. How can i wire it in order to get the max rms out of the aq1200d? is it even possible or did i just make a 250$ mistake

Wire in series for 2 ohms to avoid 1/2 ohm or get a different sub/0.5 ohm stable amp. Look up Crutchfield's wiring wizard

When funds are available, get another sub of the same, and run that amp at a 1ohm load, and get the most out of that amp

Wire the b!tch to .5

Do yall think that amp can handle a .5 ohm load??? I dont want to blow anything? im sure i could just run it 2 ohms if i had too it would help the longevity of the system but might not be enough power at 2 ohms to feed the beast?

Wire the b!tch to .5

Yeah yeah, let's try to blow this guy's alternator and battery! Woo hoo!

No. Don't wire it to .5 unless you have the power to back it up. Just wire it to 2 ohms until you get a second sub or different amp.

I found a post coming from a guy who worked for the owner of aq and said it would run .5 ohms no problem as long as the electical is solid. So im guessing if i run 0 gauge wire from batery to alt, chasis ground to battery and battery to amp with a fuse block close to the amp so i can run 4 gauge a few inches to the amp id be ok? i got a red top battery and brand new duralast alt

amp is fine at .5ohm with solid electrical. How many amps is your alt? Good batt under hood and one in back should be fine.

 

[Mboyle1145 10+ year member]

Not sure on alt ill have to check real quick and your saying i need run another battery to keep up?
