Hadec Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report 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

Rebel4055 Posted January 20, 2012 Report 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.
