Semper Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, I've had my subs wired to 2 ohmss on my BRZ2100. They hit, but my friend said that it isn't really pushing my sub. I have a Kinetik 1800 literally 6 inches from my amplifier & a 150 amp alternator. Should I bother trying to wire it to half ohm before I wall off my box in my trunk or just stick with 2 ohm? New amp is out of the question, working on paying off my car. Big 3 isn't done yet, but is an option down the road. The subs are SA-12s. Hifonics BRZ 2100.1D 2100 @ 1 ohm @ 14.4V 1400 @ 2 @ 14.4V. I don't think I'm at a constant 14.4V, so would half ohm be a good idea & could this amp hold that if I adjust the gain moderately. ( Friend has DD-1 ). New Setup; H/U; Pioneer DEH-80prs. Wiring; 2 runs of 2/0 OFC & Big 3. Subs; 2 D1 DC Level 4s. Monoblock; DC 3.5k. 4 Channel; JBL GTO1004. Highs; Vifa NE25VTS-04. Mids; Aura NS6-255-8A. Alt; 160a. Batts; Optima, KHC1800.

Katt Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Seal from the trunk, and do the big 3. Then go from there. And dont tempt to run at .5 if you at least don't have the big 3. But that's my opinion. *06 330i - Sundern x12 - saz-3500* *91 Foxbody V1 S-Trim Notch* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 question. why didnt you get dual 4's? edit: you're throwing a hypothetical 700w per woofer on a 600w sub. why does your friend say that they arent really pushing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 You don't even think about .5 is the big 3 is not done. You will burn through your wires. Also take this into account, if you don't have enough for a new amp, and have to pay off the car, try not to run .5 for the risk of blowing the amp.

Semper Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 @kranny, because I'm an idiot. I wanted to run 3 @ 1.3 ohms but. 2sa-12s is more than enough. I under-estimated them. Also they are def not seeing 700rms da. Maybe 450-500ish. I'm not playing at 14.4v. Been waiting on my meter for a month now so I don't have an accurate read but I'm guessing somewhere in the, ,13v range New Setup; H/U; Pioneer DEH-80prs. Wiring; 2 runs of 2/0 OFC & Big 3.
