Onelowgreek Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ordered a 10" D4 sub so I could wire it parallel down to 2 ohms but they sent me a D1 so I'm forced to wire it in series to 2 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wouldn't think so but ima ask any who) Edit:maybe it has nothing to do with box rise Example: duel 1 ohm coils that rise to 1.5 seriesed would rise to 3 but parralleled d4 (with the same .5 rise) would only rise to 2.25?

Onelowgreek Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 So turns out they sent me the Strato V2.0 instead of the V1.0 which is rated for 800 watts RMS... Now I need to decide if I'm going to return the sub for the v1 and use my alpine amp or return the amp and use my Hifonics Brutus amp that's in my garage which is 900 watts RMS at 2 ohms Thoughts?

Triticum Agricolam Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Sounds to me like you got a free upgrade. Why wouldn't you just want to use the v2?

Onelowgreek Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Sounds to me like you got a free upgrade. Why wouldn't you just want to use the v2? All the wiring, connectors, accessories, amp that I ordered I had designed to put it under my driver seat and suitable for 500 watts RMS. If I run the Strato V2 I will need to configure the install differently and forced to mount the Amp behind the passenger seat along with possible running larger power cable depending on how long the run will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference between the V1 and the V2 is going to cause you to change things?

For starters the mounting depth of the sub is almost 1" larger so won't fit in the box unless I invert it, the alpine amp I bought will be under powering the sub big time, but I have an amp in the garage that is 900 watts at 2ohms which draws 140 amps and I know 4 gauge is good up to about 12-13 ft at that rating which will be cutting it close if I mount it in the trunk. The RCAs I bought were only long enough for the amp to be under the seat. I wasn't anticipating running that much power to a sub so not sure how my electrical system will deal with it and an upgraded alternator is approx $500 which I'm not willing to spend. Not sure what I'm going to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
