Need some help on amp sub hook up

[speedyjuarez Premium Member]

Okay so right now I have a 15 svc hooked up to a kicker 1000.1 with a DMM reading at 56.7

I'm waiting on a hifonics BRX 2000.1 and will have two 15 svc hooked up. From what I have read online I assume I want to hook up the subs in parallel.

What I cant figure out is what should my DMM readings be?

Should they be ..

1600 watts at 1 Ohm =DMM 40

2000 watts at 1 Ohm =DMM 44.72

subwoofer specs:

15 inch

RMS 800

4 Ohm

You can't wire 2 svc 4 ohm subs to 1 ohm. It will be a 2 ohm load

Okay so then my DMM readings would be 1600 watts at 2 Ohm = 56.57?

That'll get you a 2-ohm load.

Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage

Sqrt(1600*2)

sqrt(3200)

56.57 = Voltage

Your math checks out.
