Was thinking 4 6x9 in 4 cube at like 30 hz... These are the things that make me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbodylexus Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 If you do the series/parallel wiring with dual 4 ohms you'll have a 2.67 ohm load and with dual 2 ohms you'll have a 1.34 ohm load.

ben29555 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 pretty sure this is the lowest ohm you can wire them to could be wrong though http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/ca/learni..._4-ohm_mono.jpg Quote My Build Log loud bass songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotshot27 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) you can do 2.666 or .666 Its gonna be tough to find something to do around 2000-3000 rms at 2.666, so i'd shoot for finding a sundown 2000 and run it at .666 Edited October 30, 2009 by hotshot27 Quote Current Setup: Factory HU with LOC mids/highs-Insignia components Sub- E8 in bass tube Amp- sae-1200d Show Setup: HU-Sony MEX-1HD (brings massive respect for sony) fronts - Infinity Kappa perfect comps rears- Infinity Kappa coax mid/high amp - Autotek 5600 Subs - 2 RE SE 15's Sub Amps - 2xSAE-1200D Box - 5cubes sealed Wire- Lots of Knu 1/0 SECOND SKIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xProdigy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 okayy so heres a few updates in progress sorry i dont have many pics atm but its annoying trying to clean up after every cut just so i can take some pics, so i took some while the box is pretty much complete just sealing it up and fabricating anyways heres a couple pics helpin dad out! the three L7s and the behemoth powerhouse!!!! Starting to fabricate it! ..... just another side of it and the end result, i think it looks pretty slick those are just screws ontop of it waiting to mount down the speakers!! (sorry for the lack of quality, pics taken with my BB) gonna have to wait to the weekend for finishing all the wires and installation! (i thinkthis may be in the wrong forum, if so, would a mod kindly move it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 That kicker amp you posted would be nice, if you don't mind that price it would be a great amp for your subs.
