I got an alpine type r 122d sub and a kac 7201 amplifier and need help with the wiring and ohm load? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ATLien Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I could sit here and explain in great detail exactly how to install an amp or you could just watch this informative video hosted by Crutchfield. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOEsJUidf_0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 You probably had your gains set too high on the amp. Do you still have the ground/power wires in your car or are you starting from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqsux Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 i just wanna know how i should wire the sub to the amp... like 2 ohms, 4 0hms, etc.. btw the sub is dual 2 ohm... 460 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms 230 watts x 2 at 2 ohms RMS power handling: 300 watts I'd do, bridged at 4 ohm, buttttt thats me.

Guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 wire each coil to each channel. nuff said. only 300rms so dont crank the gains and expect it to be loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonhead Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Bridge the amp to a 4 ohm mono load and then wire the sub like this. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=1&woofer_imp=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
