dawgs007 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I currently have my Power Acoustik Mofo-122X wired to 2ohm. Would it be beneficial to switch up the wiring to 1ohm? The difference is 900W at 2ohm to 1200 at 1ohm. And if I provide the link (http://soundstream.com/store/car-audio/amplifiers/picasso/p1-1200d.html) could you guys tell me if the amp is stable at 1ohm? It gives 1ohm rms but doesn't state if it's 1ohm stable on a single 2-ohm DVC sub. A response and diagram on how-to would be great (I'm still in the learning process, immensely). Thanks in advance!

gibblegeibel Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=22#results here is a link on how to wire it to one ohm. the thing is your sub will getting more wattage since you are lowing the restinance in the sub. your amp is 1 ohm stable. the other thing it will sound louder and hit harder if i am not wrong.

truthsayer Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 With that sub you can only wire to 4ohm or 1 ohm. So you probably are wired to 4ohm now. Then yes you will notice a difference wiring it down to 1ohm truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
