Mike Boots Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 My sub is dual 2 ohm 2500rms 5k max. my amp is 2500 rms @ 2 ohm I was hoping this amp would be perfect since the rms matched but I think the sub requires a 1 or 4 ohm load..
Mike Boots Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 Is there anyway to wire these together and get the 2500 rms, I know its 1250rms at 4 ohm but does that mean the sub will see 1250 on each coil or total, making the total on the sub 1250 and only using half of my sub and amps potential?
BigManAC Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 With a DVC 2ohm sub you can either choose a 1 or 4 ohm load. If the amp can do 1 ohm you can always go that route just make sure the gains are set and if there is a bass control knob use it. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/Support/rftech.aspx#wiringwizard It would be 1250 total bc since the resistance is higher it halves the total rms in half. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw
Mike Boots Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 The amp is a kicker zx2500 2500 rated at 2ohms.. kinda confused wondering if I need a new amp.
tacomaguy1 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 you can not wire that sub to 2 ohms, if you're dead set on that amp and wiring at 2 you need a sub that is dual 4 or try wiring the kicker to 1 ohm, idk if they like that or not Team Flex Issues
Mike Boots Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 I heard someone saying they get 3500rms from the amp at 1ohm bit idk if its safe.. I don't wanna burn up a 900$ amp. the problem is I have a stroker pro 15 and a kicker zx2500 now. If I had to sell the amp that wouldn't be a big problem.. I'm dead set on the subs. I just need a good amp for em.

hazestorm23 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 You could also find another sub to match it and wire down to 2 ohms
Mike Boots Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 Yes I could run two from it but it would be at half power 1250 rms per sub if I did that. I wanna put max power to these subs without blowing them up. I got the amp for 300 bucks (dirt cheap) but I think it might be the wrong amp and I could easily sell it for a profit if need be.. I assume I have the wrong amp for the sub I have.. I don't know much about technical info yet. I was looking for a second opinion on what other people would do if they had this amp and this sub. Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. well in this case then I would get rid of the amp especially if you can make profit and get an amp that does rated at whatever your final impedance will be
