[QUOTE="barkbark, post: 8849073, member: 689315"] I'm brand new to all this so I did some research and just need some clarification on a few things... I haven't landed on what amp I'm getting but I will use 2 different kicker amps to use as substitutes for other amps with similar specs. Attached is my wiring diagram PART 1 Figure 1(left): I plan on getting two Kicker 6.75 subs(150w RMS 4 ohm DVC) [URL]https://www.kicker.com/comp-rt-6-75-4-ohm-subwoofer[/URL] with a Kicker amp [URL]https://www.kicker.com/CXA8001-800-Watt-Mono-Class-D-Subwoofer-Amp[/URL]. From what I understand, the 2 positive outputs are connected and 2 negative outputs are connected on the amp because its a mono amp not 2 channel. So given this... [LIST=1] [*]Is the wiring correct for 4 ohm load? [*]If wiring is good, the amp is sending both speakers 150w each right? [*]This works? [/LIST] Figure 2(right): These are the same subs but now with a weaker amp [URL]https://www.kicker.com/CXA4001-400-Watt-Mono-Class-D-Subwoofer-Amp[/URL]. [LIST=1] [*]Is this wiring correct for 1 ohm load? [*]If wiring is good, the amp is sending both speakers 200w each right? [*]200w is fine even if a little higher than sub RMS right? [*]This works? [/LIST] PART 2 Important part over, now just some general clarifications. [LIST=1] [*]I've read stuff like 4 ohm is clearer, 1 ohm is louder, and 2 is in between. Is this referring to the ohm load? or sub ohms? Are they even different enough at this power to even matter? [*]Is it best to match the ohm load to the subs ohm or does this not matter? [*]Given the two setups, the cxa400.1 is still less taxing on the car's electrical system right? [/LIST] LASTLY: (if both systems work as I expect it to) Which out of the 2 setups would you choose?
