its the mtx 3 channel like 1100 at 1 ohm bridged, its AB class, it was wired feeding out like 2 ohm load, not to much, gain was like half up and it was feeding a slim line jl tw513 and a kicker l5 12"

winnar!

i didnt, its my friends tw5, its in a fiberglass box made by the car audio shop here, and i didnt make a box, i have 2 kicker l5's and one is blown so i kooked one up in its box and the tw5 in its box in the back of my car on the mtx, the mtx amp is my friends and he uses it to power the tw5 and it strill gets hot as crap

two different subs FTL

Voltage drop/gain to high/different impendence subs/different kind of subs=

and it was final at 2 ohm cuz the tw5 is 3 ohm and the l5 was wired to 1 ohm and they were wired in parelell.

Umm that does not equal a 2 ohm load. The load on your amp is .75 ohms.

1/3+1/1= .75

A 7801 is not a AB amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I ran mine at 1ohm all the time and played hard. Got warm put nothing horrible.
