I want about 2500-3000rms watts. Will 2 vfl 100.1s strapped do this on 2 xfls and how do I strap them? Or should I get a vfl 150.1

There is a single rca on the input side on amp and you will get 3000rms if you stay at about 14.4 volts

The book that they come with has pretty good instructions on how to strap the amps. Did you buy these new or used, or are you just doing research before you buy?

You should get 3000 clean out of these on 2 XFL 1222 wired down to 1 ohm and back up to 2 ohms, strapped the amps will see 1 ohm a piece plus box rise. If you have a low box rise you can see 3000 but if you have a couple ohms of box rise you will not get 3000 un-clipped.

You could do 2 of the 1244 wired down to 2 ohms and down to 1 ohm, strapped the amps will see 0.5 ohms but you have to be careful of voltage drop and watch your impedance at different frequencies especially below tuning. You could get even more than 3000 out of them in this arrangement but it would be more of a burp setup and less optimal for a daily driver.

My XFL 1222 is only seeing around 500 watts off my HD-2500 (rated at 1250 rms @ 1 ohm) because my box rise put the impedance up over 3 ohms at my peak frequency. But its still pretty loud.

very nice amps for sure, i strapped my pair of vfl 120.1s in the swift and worked awesome for like a year until i took everything out, and yes, the manual has all the instructions on how to strapp them!

I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains. Panamenian 2009 & 2010 & 2014 Bass Race 149.9 Champion!

this isnt related to your question, im just curious about american bass and the XFL's in particular, what size are they and how do you feel about them/?

Let me start by saying, in reference to your signature, they are made by the company American Bass, but yea you guessed it Made in China lol.

That being said, the XFL's come in 10's 12's and 15's (dual 4) and you can get the 10's and 12's in dual 2 as well. It just happens they are the lowest line AB offers with a dual 2 coil configuration.

I have been testing mine for about 3 months now. I also bought a brand new one that I will be doing a break in comparison too (how much louder do they get once broken in).

Also, on purpose, I have been feeding mine a fully clipped 500 watt signal to test the affects of clipping at well under the RMS rating of the sub. So far, it gets a little warm, but I have yet to smell voice coils and the impedance has not changed.

They get pretty loud off ~500 watts and seem to have good output even below port tuning. The suspension is very stiff of course.

I will also be doing a direct comparison between an XFL 1222 and a FI Audio SSD 12.

I will make some posts with my test results if your interested.

I'm only thinking of strapping because I'm unsure of the vfl150.1-175.1s outputs. Might be cheaper and better to strap
