did twice to get your atten.. y u wanta run 4 ohms thats hard at that power or u pay more $ and only use 1/2 or 1/3 of amps power.. what vc is sub?
Like I said, I'm new to this, but I was under the impression that sub coils were specific to the resistance of the amps? Sorry I don't know what vc is. Fi Car Audio X15 – BladeICE Thats all I know
It's 4 ohm, that's why I thought I needed a 4 ohm amp. So I can wire a 1 or 2 ohm amp to my 4 ohm sub could?
Its dual 4ohm meaning you have two 4ohm coils you can wire in series for an 8ohm final or wire in parallel for a 2ohm final.
like jr said see we knew (i thought0 those ubs won't come in svc do they must be dvc 4 or 2 ohm.. so u have a 4ohm dvc with 99% of us would wire to 2 ohm (i had a orion hp wired to 8 ohm for 7 yrs because that's only way to bridge 2 channel amp i had to a dvc 4ohm sub, but u on;y get 1/2 the amps power that way) u need mono d class sub amp like we use.. my amp would really be good for u 930rms @2 ohms (we alo run more power than ub is rated for because of something called "box rise" (when sub moves ohm load actually goes up so u sub really only gets like 1/2 power u send it anyway) so some guys here run 3500rms to 2 8" subs.. anyway only thing we need to know now is how much $ u wanta spend on amp?, u want cheapest decent amp (thats mine) or u want a nice amp like $300 or more.
Thanks for all the great help guys. I feel like I understand a lot more now. Great suggestions, I'm gonna get either the PPI P1k or the cab.. I'm definitely leaning towards Cab for more flexibility. Is there any danger to my subs if I run 1200 rms through it even though recommended is 750w (And would I need to worry about capacitors)? I don't have a whole lot of money to throw around and I already had to replace the rockville sub. Or would I just need to keep it turned down? Thanks again.
Sounds like I have a bit of work to do. I think I'll upgrade my big 3 to 1/0. I have 8 ga currently installed and that's probably a little small for how long my cable is. Its always a pain in the *** to do new wiring through the firewall. Hopefully pretty soon I'll have the cab installed and bumping my FI.
