dl9890 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 After countless hours and research I think I'm going to buy 2 12" Fi SSD subs to replace my 2 12" kicker comps. I'm going to run them off a DX1000.1(2011 model). Should I get the dual 1 or dual 2? And how should I wire them? The box I have has 2 terminals and last time I tried wiring speakers it was just a mess. Any help would be good. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) do you plan on keeping that amp? cause you'll be basically giving them half power edit: im asking this because you have to get dual 2's to use the subs on that amp, but you will need dual 1's if you plan on upgrading to a 2000w amp in the future. otherwise you'd need to get an amp that does 2000 at 2 ohms and not 1, which will be considerably more money Edited August 9, 2012 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_racin4 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 keep in mind, the D2s are D1.4s and D1s are D.7s Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will get another one in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl9890 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Dual 1 DX1000.1 (2011 model) 2 ohm = 1,000 4 ohm = 550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl9890 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 No problem, thanks. So my amp and these two subs would work okay? And if I got another amp ( the same one ) they will work okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) No problem, thanks. So my amp and these two subs would work okay? And if I got another amp ( the same one ) they will work okay? well you are going to basically give those subs 1/2 the rated power which will work but, if in the future you decide to upgrade the amp to give those subs full power, then you would actually have to find an amp that does around 2000 watts rms at 2 ohms or at 0.5 ohms, its easier and cheaper to find and run an amp at 1 ohm. So if you are gonna upgrade then it's better to get the dual 1's now, only draw back is that you would have to run them at a 4 ohm load with approximately 1/4 rated power each.
