Switchblade Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm gonna be running my 15 inch MTX 8500's (2) to a Audiobahn A 1300hct which runs at 1200 RMS at 1 ohm. This means I need to wire my subs up at 2 ohms each, correct? I was looking at the wiring diagrams and trying to figure it all out. Pretty much what i've figured out is simple enough, running both of the possitives to the possitive terminal on my amp, and the same way with the negative. Therefor running the subs at 2 ohms, and it will run the amp at 1 ohm. If i'm wrong about ANYTHING please let me know, i'd love to do this right the first time!

If so, run everything in parallel which gives you 1 ohm, which is what you want.

Switchblade Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Lol, school was tooooo long ago. Not really, i'm only 22. But I don't remember many things like that.
