Gees97 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I currently have a Fi BTL 12" at 2 ohms and I had a power acostik 5500bamf amp that died yesterday.everytime id turn it up or hit a bump my bass would cut out.and the amp protection light would come on.so i opened it after checking all my connections and noticed one of the capacitors vibrated loose.SO i was looking into amps and i saw the Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bd. does anybody know if id be able to run this ?

You can, you can wire that sub up to either 1 or 4 ohms, and the amp is stable in both cases. I think you'd be safe as long as you dont abuse the gains on the amp, also hopefully your electrical is up to par for that amp, it produces raw power.

notorious97200 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 If your btl is a dual 1 ohm, you should look for an amp that puts its power at 2 ohms. This RF amp is not the best choice for a DVC1 sub. Take a look at : Audiopipe 3000.1 2 Sundown saz 1000 or 1500 strapped Kicker 2500 Alpine mrp something 2000 And many more !

Ndnkobra Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) It's called impedance, both your amp and sub have an impedance. Its basically resistance with AC (someone will have to clarify me on that), i'm not too informative about it, but the lower your resistance the more current will flow, thus the more power you will recieve. Your coils in your sub also have an impedance, which you can then decide how to wire it, either in series, parallel, or series/parallel. I'd look at a wiring diagram for that, but basically at 1 ohm for that rockford amp it does produce 2500 watts of power, and your average power handling on your sub is 2000 watts. Now unless you're really smart about putting extra power into your speaker, you shouldn't do it. You would be pushing your speaker above the given RMS, not by much, but the rating acts as a guideline on how much power you should use. Now, thats at perfect conditions, you can set your gains on your amp to limit the amount of current flowing through into your amp, there's a power chart somewhere and with a use of a multimeter you can set your ACV to match the amount of power you want, 2000 watts. You can set it lower than that too, only if your electrical isnt up to handling over 2k watts of power. In shorter terms, that amp produces 2500 watts at 1 ohm, and 1000 watts at 4 ohms. If you notice that your battery commits suicide or your headlights dim, you need to either set the gains down or if you know for sure that your electrical cant handle that much power, wire it to 4 ohms.

hdorre Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 my sub is a 2 ohm dual 2 or dual 1 (wired up to 2 ohms)? What options are on the amp (cooling, heat ring, etc)?

Ran into you at Ray and charles deli a while back) My truck is in the shop again so I got some free time OMG LMAO,its soo weird u found me on here haha.yea i still got ur number.my amp vibrated apart.im about to order this rockford amp but its 500 watts above the rms for my sub.i was told i could set my gain down but i wanna make sure before i spend over a grand.i gotta hear ur truck sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
