Guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 if you added woofers to the same amplifier, you changed the ohm load. which in turn can cause you to lose power if you wire it all fucked up, or even normally. dont touch bassboost (keep on 0/off) and follow that picture guide.

TeejayBee Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Okay heres how this will go. Name the Kind of amp and Subs you are using State what Ohm they are such as Dual 2 ohm or dual 4 maybe Single 2 or single 4 then ill help from there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) you took the amp from wired at 1 ohm to 2.67 and spread out the power from the amp from 2 to 3 now, so thats why it got quieter.. you can invest in a bigger amp that does more at 2 ohms and prob have a better chance with getting louder with that edit i believe they are all D4s Edited April 16, 2010 by Army_guy614 Quote 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.......

kirill007 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Change the amp to a hifonics 1610 and it will be a lot louder.(but still it would be better to just use 2 if they are louder.) PA amps are overrated (by a lot), the hifonics will put up the wattage if it has enough voltage. Edited April 16, 2010 by kirill007 Quote Thinking is the root of all problems...

TeejayBee Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 listen to army guys hes been in longer then me but i know what hes sayin is right when you take 2 subs to three subs your spreading the power out so its not say 500 watts each its like 450 somthing like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
