Need help with fi btl 18n specs

Ok on fi audio"s site they list the rms as 2000w*

It does not have the rms rated at a certain ohms so im wondering how do i find what ohms the 2000 rms is putting out

Subs don't put out power. The impedance of the sub is irrelevant to the power handling. If it were a dual 1 ohm sub or example it would handle the same power whether you wire it for 2 ohms or 0.5 ohms.

You're talking like the sub is an amplifier. Subs use wattage, and put out db's. The ohm load is irrelevant to how much power the sub will handle.

ok thanks everyone one more thing to clear it up though. Say i have a 2500 RMS watt at 2 ohm amp and i wire a dual 1 ohm subwoofer to it in series. Since the subwoofer is wired at 1 ohm will the amp give 5000RMS watts to it?

No. If you wire a D1 sub in series, that means you get a final ohm load of 2 ohms.

ah so if i wired a D2 sub in parllel i would get a final ohm load of 1 ohm, and if i had a amp rated at 2500 RMS watts at 2 ohms it would give 5000 RMS to the subwoofer?

Probably not double. What amp is it?

looking at the kicker ZX 2500.1

this. To be double it would need to be the same efficiency at every impedance, which isn't normally the case. You may be talking about a ZX2500.1, do not run at 1 ohm, it will not like it. Chances are you also do not have proper electrical to actually run 2500 watts.

I don't believe that amp is stable at 1 ohm. You'd need to find an amp stable at 1 ohm.

ok the AQ2200D 1 ohm power 2200 x 1 so does this 2200 mean rms? or peak i cant tell.

put a dmm to the coils. it'll tell you the voice coil configuration so you wire it correctly.

sorry whats a dmm?

Yes, AQ is 2200w rms.

Digital Multimeter. Used for measuring voltage and ohms.
