Ohm question

[ccab 10+ year member]

Can you wire 2 12" Alpine Type R D4H's to 1 ohm? my friend told me you could only wire them down to 2 ohms..it will be running off an Audioque AQ1200D amp.

look at the sub wiring section

1ohms or 4ohms not 2

pr dual 4 ohm subs wired parallel is 1 ohm.

so basically what its saying is wiring down the subs at 1 ohm they are going to hit harder and get more hz or db.

if ur amp is stable at 1 ohms an matches the rms of ur subs( maybe a lil more) at 1 ohms then yes they would hit harder because the lower the impedance the more power. u should get the audioque sdc2.5's over the type r's if u dont have subs yet. i have the type r's and my friend has the sdc2.5's we both have the same amp(audioque 1200d) and i think his subs hit harder an sound better when there both in the same car.

but u said get more hz? what???

I would have gotten them but they were too much for my budget..the type r's should be close tho..they are good subs.

meh i personally hate em cause every ****er that goes to car toys that dont no shit about car audio has em and they pay 220 per a sub for em. so many dam ppl have them. o how big is ur box?

Get more Hz? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

what do you suggest i build my box too? its going into a 04 chevy malibu

the final ohm load has nothing to do with "how hard" your subs hit it only changes the output of the amp. logic dictates that if you use more power it will be louder.
