Izzyman Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Hello, I was hoping for some advice on a build I am about to put into my car. I bought a Rockford Fosgate R1200-1D and two Audiopipe TXXBD312 1800 Watt 12s, I am hoping will be a good match. I am not a huge audio guy, but I spend a lot of time in my towncar for work and hoping to get a little bump in my trunk for my highway driving. Do any of you have some advice on wiring these for 1 ohm? What you all would suggest for what gauge wire for the subs? I have a brand new OEM alternator and battery, hoping this will be enough to run this setup. I don't have a cap or extra battery, trying to keep it rather simple. Manual for my amp https://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/library/2013/3_amplifiers/1230-57810-02_primeamp-man.pdf What I was going to try to use for hooking up 1 ohm is attached, Thank you if you have time to reply
Izzyman Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Posted February 25, 2020 Confusing from the Manual, Do I run one wire from side one positive and side two negative? *Paralleled internally for 1 � min. load. < No idea what that means lol
MrSkippyJ Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 hook it up exactly as you see in that second picture and you will be at 1ohm. Hook one speaker up to the Speaker A side and the other to the Speaker B side. The terminal is connected inside the amp so the + for Speaker A is the same as the + for Speaker B (and same for the - connections). You will still need to connect your voice coils in parallel at the speaker however. It's identical to shoving 2 wires into a single terminal except it looks cleaner.

So by Parallel you mean like this picture correct?
