re8s

[jmoneypierce21 10+ year member]

So im buying inapontiacs re8s which are d4s... so my wiring options are 1 or 4 ohm.. I have a hifonics titan txi7506 which does:

750 @ 1

500 @ 2

350 @ 4

Do i wanna give these subs there rms at 4 ohms or be careful and run them at 1?

1 for sure!!! They will be fine... easy on the gains.

so throw 200-300 at them...? do i wanna use dmm and set level then barely raise gain?

 

[jmoneypierce21 10+ year member]

ne other opinions on these?

Run them @ 1 ohm and set the gains accordingly ... too much power turned down is infinitely better than forcing an amp to overpower and clip a signal.

so when i set my amp do i want the level and bass boost to equal the volts given in the tutorial or do i want the level to equal that and just play with the boost? Would 500 watts between the 2 be good, if not more or less?

According to the box, they should be ok. I just bought (4), and I got a good laugh when I read the side of the box. . .

[jmoneypierce21 10+ year member]

so im brin told bass boost=no. but ive tried doin this before and seems like theres no bass.. what am i doin wrong?

If the box is right, you should not need bass boost for these woofers.

Crossover setting? make sure its on LPF?

hey those subs probably will take 2000 watts for a few seconds lol. What type of box are you going to be running?

do the 1.2 tuned to 35hz design. With the power at 1ohm you won't want or need the larger box.

I ran a bunch of em in .5 cubes each tuned to 33hz and they sounded **** good. I gave em each about 250 watts and they took it fine. Run em at 1 ohm, you won't need any bass boost with the power yo uwill have on em.

Just don't go gonzo on them right away. Hook em up and slowly go up with the volume. They will bottom out when they have too much power, you will instantly recognize the sound. If/when they do you will know your limits on em //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
