Mellow18 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 yup! so if i wire it that wai it wont drop the ohms because the amp only has 1 input for - and +? it will stay 2ohms? amp is 2 ohm stable Quote 2001 Black Monte Carlo SS chrome 20'' (1) Alpine i-9881 deck-ipod- (2) DC lvl 4XL 18''s-Walled- (1) DAT Hellfire - 2500.1-fused- (1) D3400 XS Power battery-fused- (2) CDT 6.5 comp (X) pioneer 6x9 set (1) RF T-400.4 (1) DC POWER ALT INSTALLED BY ROB FTW,Big3 (1) Viper 5901 Alarm + killer yorkies and chihuahas [EdgarCervantes] 4:31 pm: im in my room and out of nowere i hear bass im like oh shit sombody has bass in this city, i look out the window and its my mom bumping Gorilla Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be fine as long as you set your gain properly and don't clip them.

01xtreme Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 It will be fine as long as you set your gain properly and don't clip them. x2. Nothing wrong with running too little power to your subs other than them not being able to reach their full potential.

Mellow18 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 ok let me clear this up a bit... so my amp is a monoblock and its 2ohm stable. my subs are dual 2ohm subs. and if i wire it to 2ohms as shown in option #2 http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woof...mp;woofer_imp=3 it will stay a 2ohm load iff i connect it into my monoblock amp or will it lower the ohm load? because some onee said to do a 4ohm load and it will make it a 2ohm load by itself...confused Quote 2001 Black Monte Carlo SS chrome 20'' (1) Alpine i-9881 deck-ipod- (2) DC lvl 4XL 18''s-Walled- (1) DAT Hellfire - 2500.1-fused- (1) D3400 XS Power battery-fused- (2) CDT 6.5 comp (X) pioneer 6x9 set (1) RF T-400.4 (1) DC POWER ALT INSTALLED BY ROB FTW,Big3 (1) Viper 5901 Alarm + killer yorkies and chihuahas [EdgarCervantes] 4:31 pm: im in my room and out of nowere i hear bass im like oh shit sombody has bass in this city, i look out the window and its my mom bumping Gorilla Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
