Hadec Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 some questions 1st how did they wire 2 dual 1 subs to a final impedence of 2ohms.if you have dual 1 subs they should of wired it to 1ohm or 4ohms 2nd whats your electrical consit of,i know u have a stck batt(which should be upgraded running that much power) but have you done the big 3,do you have a HO alt. by professionals im taking it that a local shop did your install.if they told you they hooked up 2 dual 1ohm subs to a final 2ohm load then they must not know what their doing or talking about IMO They were telling me that the subs are actually .7 ohm so I don't know i'll just give them a call tomorrow. But I really do not think it is a battery/electrical issue at all or my lights would dim a lot more. Working on my first car audio build ever!

And now that i look at it on the fi car audio website.. it says dual 2 ohm subs only have 1k rms? is that a mistake? Or is it actually only 1k rms Working on my first car audio build ever!

Or is it actually only 1k rms dual 1 subs are perfect since you have a amp that is 1ohm stable you wire the subs in parallel to get a 1ohm load at the amp....im not sure on the BLs power handling as i have new owned or used one...but the site says the dual 1s are 1000w rms and dual 2 are 1500w rms for the 12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel4055 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 What you should do is try working on it your self. I don't think ohm load is a issue here. When the amp cuts off does the amp go into protect? Or just the power just goes out. If the subs are dual 1 they probably wired them at 1ohm or 4 ohm which isn't a issue. Rest In Peace mother.
