[arskwared]

had tooo many problems with amps and subs and their proper wiring... while my rockford amp is getting fixed again, im going to be using an MTX Blue Thunder Pro1502 amp. Specs are as follows:

MTX Blue Thunder PRO1502

Dynamic Power (IHF-202 standard) measured at 14.4 Volts DC:

120 watts x 2 into a 4 ohm load

212 watts x 2 into a 2 ohm load

425 watts bridged into a 4 ohm load

Signal to Noise Ratio

or = 110dB A-Weighted

I am running (2) 12" Pheonix Gold subs...

Subwoofer Size 12"

Impedance 4 ohms

Dual Voice Coil Yes

Peak Power Handling 500W

RMS Power Handling 250W

Sensitivity 90.03 dB

pleaase i need suggestions... it's not an easy set-up with the dual voice coil, and thats where i always seem to have problems.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

or you could wire each sub to a channel in parallel which would give you a 2 ohm load

....expressing other options available

Seems pretty simple to me, I think some reading and researching is in order before you persue you car audio much more, you wouldnt want to destroy an expensive piece of electronics/audio gear if ya got it.

i had the exact same wiring done to my other amp and it blew, the amp was recently rebuilt, and i think the amp was unstable... theres no way it should have... dual voice coil makes everything so complex. my brothers used this amp for like, 4 years, had it wired paralell to 600w max 300 rms single voice coil pioneer subs, and they ran great. hopefully this will work out... its my balls if i blow this amp

Yeah that would be 2 ohm stereo which would be the same power output and much more complicated setting 2 gains to match.

i will take ur suggestion with the 4 ohm set-up... thanks for everything guys

Are you sure those ratings are at 14 volts?? I've always remember MTX rating their amps by what they put out at 12 volts and 4 ohms. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
