Mthd11 07-18-2006, 03:56 PM try this, it should give u a hand.. if thats what your talking about http://www.cardomain.com/shop/wooferwizard.pl?num_of_subs=1&impedance_of_subs=dual%204%20ohms P Zero 07-18-2006, 04:00 PM Bridged at the amp = 2 ohm. Bridged at the amp and at the speaker (dual voice coil), = 1 ohm. Most amps are NOT 1 ohm stable, most rockford amps are. -P. joeybutts 07-18-2006, 04:30 PM So basically i want to go with a DVC for options on wiring. Thanks for that guide, it is awesome! Much appreciated fellas. ttocs 07-18-2006, 05:33 PM not necessarily, it is just important to match the sub to the amp. A DVC will give you some options but you can also have too many options that would not match the amp you have. What are you wanting amp/sub wise? joeybutts 07-18-2006, 05:42 PM Well I was thinking a Kenwood 1800 (450 RMS 4-ohm/ 900 RMS 2-ohm) and something that will hit nice and low and hit hard, not boom.... i'm not too sure about ubs, economy on my mind, i don't need top of the line... ttocs 07-19-2006, 12:47 AM if you want to run 2 subs you will want 2 SVC 4 ohm speakers, if you are only using one then you want the DVC. joeybutts 07-19-2006, 02:15 PM Ok, got it. Thanks guys! |
