Cody Smith Posted August 10, 2012 Report Posted August 10, 2012 The other day I traded my old Ipad for a Rockford fosgate 1500bd amp ,two alpine type r 12's and box . Loving the system so far I big question on here is with the subwoofers and single ported box what is the best way to hook my amp to them . I'm new to the whole ohm's law and how the math works. I noticed the subs got a little warm when I played the for even 5 minutes not to hot. Also being I'm here I have the system in a 1999 toyota 4runner suv what is the best way to have my subwoofers , up, down , facing me or the back . I was thinking the back would be the best thing .

C-Fizzy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Posted August 10, 2012 Depends on the impedance of the subs. I'm guessing dual 4 ohm subs? Wire the subs to 1 ohm at the amp. And how do you have the amp gain set? under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?
Cody Smith Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Posted August 13, 2012 They are both dual 4 ohm subs, I have the gain set about half way and the punch eq a little less . amp is set to like 40 hz . So to get the subs down to a one ohm load , how would I wire them in.

C-Fizzy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Posted August 13, 2012 Turn the punch eq completely down. That's bad for the subs. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Cody Smith Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Posted August 14, 2012 Ok now on the wiring should I use both speaker outputs on the amp or just one .
