HyperliteLF920 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 So I have a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bd amplifier (amp link), and I plan on running 1 15" Fi BL. Now I am not sure I should get the Dual 2 ohm voice coil, or the Dual 1 ohm voice coil and wire it to two ohms.... Obviously, I do not want to blow the sub. Also, would I be alright if i ran reducers (1/0 > 4 reducer link) for my + and -? Or are they too close and possibly arc out? Thank you for any and all help.

C-Fizzy Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 1. get the dual 2, that Fi can handle it 2. run that 1/0 to a second battery in the back, then 4 guage from the rear batt to the amp. Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

You are absolutely right. pick you up a little hc800 or something and run the 4 from that you can get really good for through ebay they sell 4 by the foot pretty cheap! and the FI will hand 1 ohm ALLLLL DAY! i have 1 18" at 1 ohm and it gets down and dirty!

Hotdog Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Sound like a nice setup As far as the reducers... just stick with the 1/0 to the amp .. Just trim the wires so there is no wire exposed when you hook it up to the amp.

HyperliteLF920 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks very much, so just to be clear, does this look correct? Quote 2003 Ford Taurus 15" Fi BL fully loaded T1500-1 amp Crescendo CCX525s in fronts Kenwoods in rear P400-4 amp
C-Fizzy Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 perfect. except, you can just run a negative from the rear batt to the negative on the amp. may i ask, do you have a h/o alternator?

HyperliteLF920 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Posted May 31, 2010 I do not have an H/O alternator, I am guessing it may be a wise investment though...? Quote 2003 Ford Taurus 15" Fi BL fully loaded T1500-1 amp Crescendo CCX525s in fronts Kenwoods in rear P400-4 amp

I was only talking about the 1/0 to the amp.

C-Fizzy Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 oh ok, OP, its always good to invest in a H/O alt, especially if you plan on upgrading to bigger and better things. but for your current setup, you will be fine with just an extra battery.
