lagexe Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 First, I know there are many better set ups, but I'm on a budget. To my problem, will This Rockford Amp allow me to push just one Fi SSD 15? The amp says it can not bridge, and I don't know if me running on just one side of the speaker terminals will hurt anything. In case I have mis-explained: Can I safely run a sub on one side of a monoblock amp, and leave the other side alone? Already answered. I now need help with adjusting all the dials to fit my sub and line up RMS. The only testing equipment I own is a multimeter and a test-light. So please keep this in mind when giving advise.

Socky Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 its a mono block amp, the two speaker terminals are bridged inside the amp.Second, what ohm load is your sub. Needs to be either dual 1, or dual 4 to receive full power out off that amp.

I'm not being as condescending as that sounds.... :/ It's dual 1 no other goodies on the Fi sub.
Sheena Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 do you have the sub already? if not i'd get dual 2s on it and buy an amp thats 1 ohm stable. do you have an amp already? or what do you have? 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop

Sheena Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 i cant comment on your amp choice or sub choice because i havent owned either, BUT. what you looked at will work. just remember the amp is only 2 ohm stable from what i found, so if you ever buy a second sub you cant use that amp. personally i'd go with dual 1's right now, and find an amp thats stable at 1 ohm, so if you ever upgrade you arent completely out of luck. 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop

K last question. Do I hook up the amp like I'm thinking: +left-amp-terminal -> +sub-lead1 <-> -sub-lead1 -> +sub-lead2 <-> -sub-lead2 -> -left-amp-terminal ?

Socky Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 you want to series the coils to get a final ohm load of 2 ohms. Because the amp you have chosen is lowest 2 ohms stable.
