DArnoldNJ Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 i have a mercedes ml and im currently running the p1000bd to a 13.5 W7 in a sealed box. It bumps pretty nicely but im gettin a ported box built. Question is what should i get the box tuned to, also if i crank the gain up to about 8 or so should i be able to push this sub nicely. ps. I hear the w7's dont like to be ran at an ohm so should i just run it at 3ohms?

97maxima Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) the amp wont decide to run at 1 ohm by itself , if you have a 3 ohm sub the hence the amp will oparate at a 3 ohm load Edited July 21, 2009 by 97maxima Quote American Bass*DC Power
DArnoldNJ Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 Understood but i was asking if i wired the sub for 1 ohm would the W7 like it because i hear they dont Quote 2000 Mercedes ML 55 Amg Panasonic Double-Din JL 13.5 W7 sealed box Rockford P10001bd(PEQ Bass Knob) Mb Quart DSH 216 Components(Fronts) Mb Quart DSG 213 Coax(Rear) Jl 300/4(HIGHS)

DArnoldNJ Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 Ok so the amp is 1 ohm stable correct? so how many watts would be going to the W7?

enemyofsilence Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 depends on the amp. i have a p1000 (currently for sale) and it has a birthsheet of 1412 true watts. i have seen some with 1700w. so it really depends on the amp and your electrical. Quote Team Bass-Hz
