yungmulah08 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 im kind of new to car audio, but have been doing a lot of research and reading, trying to teach myself best i can. im am about to receive a 18'' solo x, dual 1 ohm, (1&2 ohm) along with that i will receive a audio pipe 30001d amp heres info on the sub http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_18697_Kicker_SoloX_S18X1.aspx and info on the amp http://www.echo-electronics.com/audiopipe-ap30001d-p-1131.html what my question is how will i wire this for 1 ohm? how will i wire it for 2 ohms? should i wire it 1 ohm or just run it at 2? right now my electrical is stock, but i will be getting a ho alternator and optima yellow-top. i already have wires ran, and the are correct, (basic wires from battery to amp and ground and all that.) i just need help with wiring the amp to the sub.

AUDIOADDICT02 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 You can't wire dual 1 ohms @ 1 ohm... it's either .5ohm(parallel) or 2ohms(series) Quote CHECK OUT MY MYSPACE; SOME PAINT WORK I'VE DONE: http://www.myspace.c...customcreationz DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB BOX BUILD: http://www.stevemead...showtopic=48978 DODGE RAM 1500 RUMBLEBEE EDITION CUSTOM ENCLOSURE: http://www.stevemead...showtopic=48983 PREFAB REMODELING: http://www.stevemead...box-remodeling/ G35 CUSTOM PAINTED L7 BOX: http://www.stevemead...om-painted-box/ CHEVY SINGLE CAB PAINTED SUB BOX/AMP RACK: http://www.stevemead...vy-boxamp-rack/ KICKER L512 BOX BUILT TO SPECS: http://www.stevemead...-kicker-l5-box/ RF HE2 10'S KERF PORTED BOX: http://www.stevemead...erf-ported-box/ 2 DC LEVEL 3 15'S KERF ENCLOSURE: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/115502-kerf-ported-enclosure/ 2 HCCA 15'S PORTED ENCLOSURE: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/129468-2-hcca-15s-enclosure/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyfrazz09 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 not if the amp isnt rated for it. sure it might play for a while but chances are it will either cook itself or go into protect mode. and you will void the warranty if you have one.

TeejayBee Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 What you need to do is get two of them and run each Sub at ,5 ohms and wire them both to the amp and itll be a final load of 1ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfrazz09 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 but then you wont have enough power....

jizazz12 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 check the specs on that ap3000d if i'm not mistaken that amp is only rated at 2 ohms.

yungmulah08 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 thanks for all of the help and feed back. i appreciate it a lot. for now ill juss keep it at 2 ohms, till i get the cash to get another, then i will link them together. how do you think a stock alternator w/ a decent battery will run this? what is the bottom amount of thing i will need to run it at 2000w rms?
