Wiring Sub and Amp

[JRich89 10+ year member]

Allright I have done some modifications on my electrical system but honestly dont want to try to put the 1 ohm load on my electrical system again. Will probly get laughed at a little and get flamed, but is there any other way for me to wire my DVC 2 15" L7 to my Viper d1200.1 besides 1 ohm which puts out 450x1 @ 4 ohm:crap: 800x1 @ 2 ohm and 1200x1 @ 1ohm. I know it is rated power so I am supposing that the 1 ohm is best and I think my electrical system will be able to handle it. Probly have no other choices but opinions anyone?

How big is your alternator?

Your impedance choices are 1 or 4 ohms. And that's it, unless you buy another sub.

Its my stock ALT but honstly cant think of the size right now. Want to say 160 because the next size up is supposedly 200

JimJ or anyone, do you think with my alt and a descent electrical system my sub can handle a rated 1200 watts at 1ohm daily?

160A stock alt?

That's more than enough...1.2kW @ 1 ohm would be fine, unless you're running Class A amplification //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Seen it in a couple of threads, but can someone with a 15 L7 or exprience with tell me that my sub will take the 1200 watts daily well. Heard lots of people say stay away from it but havnt really thought about them too much
