loganuf Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 right now im thinking that im just going to buy another crunch3000.1......there pretty cheap, and it sounds good on the two subs i have right now at one ohm.....so i could just wire each pair to one ohm and set the gains exactly alike, that way each sub would be gettin about 700- 750 watts rms.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Cool. I have a Hifonics Brutus 1600 watt. I did have it wired up to 1 ohm on 4 4 ohm 12s, but then got 4 more. So now it is running at 2 ohms. The subs only get maybe 100 watts each instead of the 400 before. My point is... it is still loud as hell, but you can tell when the subs fall on their face from lack of power. It will work well with the amp at 2 ohms, but if you can get another amp easy, def. go with that to run them both at 1 ohm. That's what I am looking to do now. Make sure you have the juice. Maybe another battery is in the works?

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 aint the crunch 3000's strapable? if so u can strap em both @ 2ohm might work better than 2 1ohm just make sure u got the electrical for it either way Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d18 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 dang man, this is frustrating....alrite well im goin to have to invest in another amp.......any suggestions that put out a lot of watts at 2 ohm? within like $350 too?lol i have a zx2500.1 but im wanting $450 for it.. LMK if you can get the money. paypal prefferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoe1129 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Btw IF you take 2 subs to 2 ohm and 2 to 8 ohms then parallell them all to the amp it would be .8 with impedance rise your amp may be able to take that.

I think that would cause some funky distribution of power between the subs, wouldn't it? Personally I would wire the subs for a 2 ohm load, run with that until you get some more coin and then get a second amp and strap them so the amps see 1 ohm each. But don't sweat it too much for now, remember double the power is only +3dB which is heaps on the meter but not a huge amount to the ear... and +3db is theory only, it's probably more like +1.5dB Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

Ultimately all subs will be wired to one amp and it will be distributing the power divided between 4 subs. It is done all the time.

It is done all the time. I'm going to have to disagree... the flow of current will be proportionate to the resistance of the path. The amp will effectively see 4 loads paralleled - 2 2 ohm loads and 2 8 ohm loads. The current from the amp will be distributed 4/10 - 4/10 - 1/10 - 1/10 so say the amp was doing 40v at 40A (1600wrms) the distribution of power would be: Sub 1, 2 ohms: 40v @ 16A = 640w Sub 2, 2 ohms: 40v @ 16A = 640w Sub 3, 8 ohms: 40v @ 4A = 160w Sub 4, 8 ohms: 40v @ 4A = 160w That's my understanding at least Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
