newls1 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 OK, confused here! I'm a PC hardware guy, not a stereo wiring addict LOL . What is confusing me is that each of these ap3001d's are internally strapped and @ 2ohm, is where they make 3k watts. My plan is to operate 2 18"s per "1" amp. So based on the12volt.com wiring diagram, I would need to order my drivers D2's correct? Also, how can I make sure that im bridging the amp, is it based on the way I insert my speaker wires into the inputs? Audiopipes website is 100% worthless on help. I hope I can tell the difference in 4 18"s and 6000watts, compared to 2 18"s with 2000watts........ I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 if there internally strapped then yea get D2s 2007 Chevy HHR LT UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1st Place Loud N Low 2010 MWSPL Finals 3rd Place Xtreme 3 2010 MWSPL Finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 you could just get the d1s and run them on one on each channel.since its pretty much two amps in one.2 1500s in one case.so that way you could get 1500 or close to each sub. That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

newls1 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 OK, im confused again. So D1's or D2's?????? What would be the "optimal" way to wire these puppies? I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 d1's or d2's would work since the amp is rated the way it is. but like the other eric said d2's would work best. i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 get d2, wire each one seperately to each channel for 1500 rms... wire each d2 down to a 1 ohm load.. like this and just run it to the amp like that, on each sub, each channel The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

newls1 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 get d2, wire each one seperately to each channel for 1500 rms... wire each d2 down to a 1 ohm load.. like this and just run it to the amp like that, on each sub, each channel Thanks bro for taking the time to do that. The amp has 4 speaker outs (as im sure you know) so what your saying is that both drivers will be using both of the speakers out for each amp? How do I go about "bridging" these things to achieve full rated output @ 2ohms? I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I go about "bridging" these things to achieve full rated output @ 2ohms? You just contradicted yourself. They are internally bridged. Just put 1 speaker to 1 (+,-), and the 2nd speaker on the 2nd (+,-) output, thats all. Just make sure they are d2's and wired how its shown in army_guys post --Sampson 816-591-6592 www.kcrimshop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 either way each sub is going to see 1500 rms per, if its at 2 ohm or 1 ohm per channel, i just find it easier to run each sub on its own channel..
