pcchris Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have 4 brutus 2608s and a maxxlink that ive been running 3yrs now....getting bored with the setup and 4 Dual 2 subs Heres my evil plan.... I have the amps strapped and the manual says to not run them below 2ohms while strapped...well i know for sure they can as ive ran them at 0.5 each but not strapped I want to run all 4 subs wired into 1ohm total > into all 4 amps that are strapped 2x2.... to make things simple i tried to make a drawing with an online paint hope yall can see where im getting at basically one voicecoil at 1ohm (scratch that 0.5ohm i metioned in the pic).... 4 amps 2 pairs strapped into 1 coil thats 1ohm_ just wondering would the 2 added amps feed back into the first two? would the 1 ohm load split across all 4 amps? ....what problems could i be getting into doing this?... also i have jumper wires going from the (-) on the master into the (-) on the slave of each linked pair___ should i jump a wire from the other linked pairs (-) into the first when attempting this or leave them be and run 2 strapped pairs into virtually 1 coil???

Purplehaze Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hmm, I think each amp would be seing .25 that way. But hey, with the maxx link, it just may still do it.... Let us know how it turns out. But remember, if you do try it, your risking something getting fried. So is the risk worth the reward? Btw if it were me, I'd probably try it too. I'd just be extra super careful. And IMHO I believe they will protect. But hey, I wish you luck!

RCP Audio Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 so, before i help you blow your subs and amps.. whats your electrical like to be running over 10k? and what subs are you running? dual voice coil? single voice coil? 2 ohm DVC? 4 ohm DVC? 2 ohm SVC? 4 ohm SVC? i believe he says "4 dual 2 subs" in the first paragraph... Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) he actually says 4 Dual 2 subs.. (how many subs does he have? 4? 4 Dual 2 ohm?) Dual is a brand. need more information. thanks for your input though. it helps quite a bit. not. although, 4 two ohm DVC subs can be wired to 1 ohm, i still think Dual is suspiciously capitalized.

Noob_On_Droid Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 It seems pretty clear to me he has four 2ohmDVC woofers and four amps. They are currently set up for one amp per driver at 1ohm but he wants to get sneaky and milk more power out of the amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob_On_Droid Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Also, I don't know of any dual woofers that can take 2600wrms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 really going to attack me cause i asked questions to the OP? never said hes running Dual subs, just said its suspiciously capitalized.
