christisk Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hello, I have Qty. 2 - T2500 Rockford amps and I was thinking DD sub but i think i am going to keep everything Rockford, I want 15" Power series subs. I am connecting these amps together to act as one 5kx1 and I am wondering (apart from doing the math) what some real world advice for quantity of these subs, Minimum 4 but would like to have possibly 6, will these 2 amps piggy backed together efficiently power Qty. 6 - T2 15" Power DVC subs? Thoughts? I don't want wasted amp power and i definitely don't want the subs to be over powered, nor do i want them to be unpowered per say, longevity is the key, box will be ported, and this is NOT for competitions, just daily pounding etc. Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks in advance -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christisk Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 BUMP Basically I'm asking if from a performance stand point i would be better off running 4 - 15" Rockford T2 Powers or 6 As in between the two options which will perform better under those power ratings? single alternator 270 amp, secondary batteries, triple 3 under hood, 0 gauge wire for everything (8 gauge speaker wire) ported box, etc. I want to run 6 but not sure if i will push them as much. Any real world reason i should choose one amount over another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Anything you can wire to the minimum output impedance of your amp will transfer the most power, but also and really important is that the subs can fit on your space, about 3 cubes net per sub so for 6 you will need over 18 cubes net, not everyone has that.

Gotcha, thanks. Yea, i got space, had 4 -15", then 12- 12", then 2 - 18" and the 18's had 10 cubic feet each etc. Anyways, yea, I will be stable at 1 OHM (5000 RMS) but I am wondering if QTY. 6 - subs that are 1200 RMS / 2400 Peak will not quite get powered like they should? I could get the T1 instead 1000/2000 or the T0 800/1600 but i would really like the T2. I dont want the gains on the amp maxxed out but i also don't want them turned merely half way (waste of amplifier) so i was just curious what some more experience ground pounders would recommend. Preferably qty. 6 - 15" subs, most likely Rockford...unless someone can talk me into some DD's (and which ones? lol) Thanks again in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christisk Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think I will just go with 6 regardless. it's for ground pounding so should be plenty of power. It's whether i choose T2 or T1/T0 now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christisk Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 BUMP With Qty. 2 - Rockford T2500 piggy backed together (5000w x1) and hooked to Qty. 6 - 15" DVC subs can someone please post up a wiring diagram? to run at 1 OHM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroupe79 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 why bother to ask for advice if you have your mind made up on 6 15s already? by your description of how you want to run the amps you should just go with the 6 T0's 850w subs http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0 huh....... Anyone with a 6 sub to 2/1 amp diagram for 1 OHM load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 You can't wire to 1 ohm. You can get close. But not exactly 1.
