InfiniteRuckus Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) I'm Looking into upgrading from 1 12" sub to 2 12" Fi SSD's. I'm still shopping around & looking for suggestions on amp & how I should set it up. I was wondering if I should run 2 - 800 Rms amps, 1 - 800 x 2 channel, or if 1 - 1600 x 1 channel is possible. I was also wondering if someone could clear up what some of these abbreviations mean.

InfiniteRuckus Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 My first thought was to try a single 1600 rms but wasn't sure if that was a feasible idea or if it would be overpowering them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 My first thought was to try a single 1600 rms but wasn't sure if that was a feasible idea or if it would be overpowering them. not feasible to run 1 amp to 2 subs? haven't you seen all the pretty pictures of ppl doing that in the build log section?

InfiniteRuckus Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 awesome link. thanks. yeah i've seen the pics just not sure how to pull it off/put it into practice. would you wire those in a series or parallel? there's also so many ways to wire a dual voice coil sub... it's still a bit over my head.

InfiniteRuckus Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 i haven't bought the subs yet, i can't decide if i want to go with dual 1's or dual 2's. still haven't decided on the amp either, but i'm open to suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Doing dual 4s or dual 1s will get you to a final load of 1 ohm for a 1ohm stable 1600rms amp for the dual 4s, like i said before wire each sub in parallel to 2 ohms, then wire the subs together in parallel to get a final 1 ohm load for the dual 1 ohm subs, wire each sub in series to get 2 ohms, then wire the subs together in parallel to get a 1 ohm final load Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteRuckus Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) so i should decide on an amp b4 the subs? i'm thinking something with a 1 ohm Edited June 6, 2010 by InfiniteRuckus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
