I have 2 15in tc sounds qvc subs 2ohm vc how would I wire them to something like .75 or .50 ohm load into a ia 40.1?

.25, 1 or 4. I think..................

Do u think .25ohm load would be to much from the 40.1 daily?

 

[tEh ShOcKeR]

Yes. What does your electrical consist of?

Well its in the works. All 1/0 hyperflex. Big three under the hood, 2 runs of 1/0 to the back, 2 1/0 frame grounds, and 2 kinetik khc 600's

do full runs front/rear for grounds as well.

I forgot the optima yellow top under hood. So I run 2 grounds from the front battery to kinetiks?

 

[Twank06"GTO' 10+ year member]

Instead of grounding to the frame for the kinetiks?

Correct. With that much battery/amp in the rear, IMO you need full length grounds as well.

i see. longer grounds means better ground?

It a Zenon board. The amps can burp down to .25 easily, but for music .5 would be ok for daily as long as you have a good charging system. But for you wiring, if you parallel all the coils on the sub it would bring the ohm load to .5 ohms per sub.

well metered the vc todayl most 6 of the 8 read 1.2-1.5 and one vc reads 0 and the other reads 155ohms! any idea wuts goin on here?

what meter are you using

 

[Twank06"GTO' 10+ year member]

its an ideal 600 amp meter. model 61-746

well, if your meter is correct, here is the list of causes. bad solder on the terminals, broken tinsel leads, bad terminals, bad solder between the voice coil and the tinsel leads, coil rubbing in the gap, blown coil. easy fix - buy a dual 2 recone.
