johnnycage Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 basically, im pretty new to bass, but not cars. i drive an explorer and a shop is helping build a box for 3 18s. i have 2 rf t4ks and basicaly im wondering how i should wire this. subs are dual 1 ohm and im looking for instruction. the shop said to use sync cables like te guy in the other thread was askin for, but my subs are 1 ohm, not 2 ohm. i asked if it was possible to wire 1 amp to all 3 subs and then the other amp to all 3 subs. he says hell no. he offers maybe 1 pushing 2 and then 1 pushin the other one. all arein seperate chambers. someone suggested master/slave...but what is this and how do i set that up? any help is appreciated. thnks guys Quote 2007 Cadillac Escalade Alpine Headunit Infinnity Kappa 6.5" components powered by 250.2 kicker amp Currently sitting in my garage waiting to be installed: 3 18" Ascendant Audio Mayhems 3 Rockford Fosgate T40001bds 6 kinetiks batteries dual 300 amp alternators from Iraggi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Get your car the fuck out of a shop that can't work out how to wire 3 18's to 2 T4ks, and would even suggest running 2 on 1 amp and 1 on the other? EDIT: Mayhems are dual voice coil. Are they dual 1's or dual 2's? The Power series amps can be strapped (your damn shop should know this, jesus, I hope you're not paying them much) See page 12 of this manual: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/library/2004/3_Amplifiers/MAN5277B_RF_PowerMono-MAN.pdf Once you know what coils your subs have I can suggest a useful way to wire them up.

Your subs, I'm 99% certain, will be dual voice coil. Run 3 coils on each amp. What exact subs do you have? He has ascendant audio mayhems. So yes, 3 coils to one and 3 to the other.
