deviantdigi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Right now you're actually wired at 3 ohms, not 6. The subs wire for a final impedance load of 3 ohms. Get an amp that puts out good power at 4 ohms and you'll be in good shape. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882682194 im running one of these and it works great. going on the average 75% efficency an 800 watt amp runs around 600 watts so youll be fine. the only downside to this amp is there is no remote gain control 3 ohms? They do state 6 ohm on the magnets. But I could see this as my current amp would can push them fairly well. This is how they are currently wired. And thanks for the amp referral. Should give me that extra power I need and is very cost effective. Probably end up running two =D. Both of your advice is much appreciated.

deviantdigi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well good luck finding something cheaper then crescendo that just barely do over 600 at 4 ohms. Craigslist here I come! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Please don't buy a power akoustik or similar...

deviantdigi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Please don't buy a power akoustik or similar... Have any suggestions of equal value but of better quality? I can't afford Alpine or similar =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 It cost money to sound good lol. Like I said look for used. That's your best bet.

speedball1978 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 you're gonna need to do a deep research to find something that can support that much power @ 6 ohms unless you got the money pit for a 2000 watt or bigger amp to load little power at 6 ohms, if you buy a 2 channel lets say 1000 watt amp, that amp might only put out 400 or 500 at 2 ohm but the power decreases as the ohm load rises, since 6 ohms is like running 3 subs of 2 ohm single voice coils in series, you're losing power out of your amp. But good luck with the search. These guys are trying to help you out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deviantdigi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) It cost money to sound good lol. Like I said look for used. That's your best bet. Think the bank give me a loan on an amp? Guess I could pull a mortgage Thanks D. =D Edited August 22, 2011 by deviantdigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Think you needa save longer and not buy from best buy.

CleanSierra posted they're most likely running at 3 ohm. Even though stated as 6 ohm, I'm not tech but I believe 'em. Given my budget I'm looking to put about 400w into each sub. That should get the job done. Thanks Speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 What you SHOULD do is run them on the SAME channel of a good amp that puts out decent power at 4 ohms. You would half the load the amplifier "sees" running 6 ohms to each sub, but squeezing more out of the amp running it at roughly 3 ohms. Does that make sense?
