CarShaker4life Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 then how can people say "ya im running 4400 watts RMS" if their nt seeing full power?!? Team?????

sprkn_ranger Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 They don't either, cause as different frequencies are played through the subs, the final ohm load rises, and when your final ohm load rises the amp doesn't output the same amount of power. One of the reasons you can't fix this is because music is dynamic, meaning it changes frequency and is not just a single tone. Just hook up the AQ2200, it's a good match and will sound good. You shouldn't worry about how much power. 1 Check out my build log! 4 Havocs in a blowthrough http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187506-sprkn-rangers-blowthrough-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Don't worry about figuring it out. The point of saying that is you probably won't see a true 1100w per sub, so you will be fine running the level 3s. Even if you saw a full 1100 per sub, you would be fine.

sprkn_ranger Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 The only thing I know of that helps combat box rise is running a Rockford Fosgate "constant power" amp. It's power output is almost the same from 1ohm through 4ohms.

CarShaker4life Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) lol well i wanna be the guy that figures it out and makes millions lol jkjk n now that someone actually explained it then it makes since, you cant fix it because music shanges frequencies, but if you do tone test then you can fix it because the frequency doesnt change...now that wasnt to hard to do huh?

CJ18 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Here is the simplest I can put an explanation. Most amps put out rated power at 1 ohm reactive(ohm load with signal applied). If you are wired at 1 ohm nominal(ohm load without signal applied), you won't see full rates power from your amps. If you wire to 1 ohm nominal, in reality, look at the amps 2 ohm rating and that will be closer to the amount of power you will actually see. Now how do you combat this? Fighting rise is why you see guys wiring to .5 ohm. Now remember, wiring under 1 ohm will void your warranty with most companies. Also wiring below 1 ohm puts more stress on your electrical.

sprkn_ranger Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Well you can't fix it really, but if you know you have the least amount of rise at a certain frequency then you can get the most out of your amps.

CarShaker4life Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) ahh that makes since...so then in that case if i wire the lv3s to 1 ohm and cuz of impendence rise it will the closer to a 2 ohm load that the amp it putting out, therefore i could wire 1 aq2200D to each 15 and it would run okay, correct?!?
