Ray Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 What do want to happen? Its a class a/b amp. You can try whatever you want but better have tons of electrical.

Thing is a current monster oh, i was trying to say would it damage anything if i brought it down? im just using a simple little 12 incher. not doing anything special. wanted a little bump in the trunk. not doing competition or anything like that. currently not hooked up yet but wanted to use my single new D6 diamond audio dvc 4 ohm 12 inch sub. as far as i understand i can either hook it up as 2ohms or 8 ohms. its not going to be really set to the loudest either. goal is get to some bass with very clean sound. not looking for the loudest. very deep bass for some of my favorite music.

Ray Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 8ohm bridged should be plenty for that sub Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
949 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) 8ohm bridged should be plenty for that sub could you explain if my undestanding is correct. the lower the ohm the cleaner the sound? or was it the higher the ohm the cleaner the sound/bass? also with this setup my original thinking was, i should have more amp power than sub power needed. so i picked something that was realiable and true to RMS. the power i was aiming for was RMS 1000 watts. that way i can always turn down the amp. if the amp was weak then i would be just maxing out the power and the sound would be clear. at least thats what the idea is. assumption here cause i dont have any info on it. amp is RMS 1000 watts at 16v. 0 gauge wires. sub is 600 RMS watts so this should help make it sound cleaner with out the neeed to max out the amp. but i am using smaller gauge wires tho. i only plan on using 4 gauge power wires. 8 gauge speaker wires. use the stock battery. stock alternator. what would the amp RMS be at that point? is there a calculation to figure this out?

Ray Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 8ohm bridged should do around 500-600 rms Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 there are alot of things that are way over your head.. your thinking is skewed.. so, wire to 8ohm and bridge it.. and........D U N Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
