Need Help With Amp Wiring/Gain Setting

[JakeM 10+ year member]

First of all I dont get wtf

Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage

means. So im hoping you guys can help me.

Sub Amp-Clarion DPX 1000.2

Putting 2 RE 12 (4ohm DVC) this is how im going to wire them

My amp is

250x2 into 4ohms

450x2 into 2ohms

1000x1 into 2ohms

So if I wire the subs like I showed you and bridged it to the amp I would get about 500 to both subs or 250 to each, right?

Ok also how many volts(using that formula above) would I need to set my gain to?

Also should I switch the amp to Mono?

Ok now that thats over I just got in my Clarion APX 200.2 and PG ZR 6.5 Comps

PG=4 ohms each

Clarion=50x2 @ 4ohms

So how would I do that dam formula?

Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage

Sqrt(50*4) = 14.142735

Am I Right?

This has been answered in the other section.

Ah hell, just do it by ear, if you've gone over 50% of max sensitvity you've gone too far.

set it really low, listen to it, tweak it up a bit, listen to it and just keep tweaking untill it sounds good to you. This does not work for somepeople as they don't have a clue what distorted sound is, they just want it loud.
