GS300Cali93 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hey guys question what is the Rms of a dc audio level 4 18 dual 2ohm wired to 1ohm and what is the best amp to match if it's 1400. Rms should I get a amp that is at least 1200. Watts at 1ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 If doesn't say on their site? Edit: site says 1400 rms. Any amp that puts out 1400-1500 watts would do good for it.

Yea it just says 1400 Rms doesn't give a ohm ok cool thank you any suggestions on amp?

reedal Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 The coil configuration (resistance) doesn't determine the thermal capabilities of the coil (1400w). Meaning you can wire a coil rated for 1400 watts to any nominal DC resistance you want (.5, 1, 2, 4, 8ohms, etc.) , and it will still be rated for 1400 watts. The DCR comes into play with your amplifier and how much power it will output with a given load. I recommend you get an amp that puts out 1.5kW to 2kW, giving you headroom, which will allow the amp to run more efficiently given its not trying to squeeze out everything it can. Set gain using a -5dB or -7.5dB overlap, and you should be good to go.

Properly set at the right overlap will lead to a long life from both the sub and the amp.There are quite a few good brands, DC makes amps, ampere, sundown, crescendo, and others.

reedal Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Short version: overlap is using an attenuated test tone to match the attenuation of the music you listen to. How do you intend to set the gain on your amplifier that you buy?
