Craig28 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 cant dual one ohm coils be wired to 2 ohms Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength! You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw. Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around.

kickass audio Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 cant dual one ohm coils be wired to 2 ohms yes they can be. wiring speakers is like this... wire in series, double the impedance. wire in parallel, half the impedance. so in your case, if you wire in parallel (coil 1 + to coil 2+ as well as the coil 1/2 negs) you will get .5 ohms. but if you wire in series (coil 1- and coil 2 + connected together and then use coil 1+ as the positive lead and then coil 2 - as your negative lead to go to your amp then you will get a 2 ohm load. but you also have to figure in impedance rise with your sub and box. so dont think that your sitting resistance will be what the amp sees when the sub is in motion.

Alex K Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 thought you said you already ordered a d2 for some reason. :facepalm: well then if it's a dual 1 go for it. i've seen a lot of people run those apipes. dunno how reliable they are, but hey worth a shot if it's what ya got.

fox_racin4 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 i clamped one of my amps ( audiopipe 3k) i got 2500rms@2 ohm with 12 volts or less so they do make pretty good power..

memphisbasshead Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) How clean? Okay now go back and measure it with an oscope and lemme know what you get before clip, clip, clip lol the audiopipe amp has a 300 amp fuse rating i think (correct me if i'm wrong) so 300x13=3900 3900x0.78= 3,042 watts at 2 ohms with 13 volts. so i can probably turn the amp up to aout 3/4 volume and get about 2500 rms at 2 ohms without clipping....... or i could just get this http://www.audioque.com/aq/?page_id=261 a single 10 sub with around 10,000 watts i bet i could hit a 153 with one 10 in the right box on that power Edited August 29, 2010 by memphisbasshead Quote My Car Audio Setup: Sub: 1 RE Audio HC 15 Dual 2 ohm(soon to get a psi recone) Daily Sub Box: 1.62 cubes net with 2 dayton audio 8 inch passive radiators tuned to 34.35 hz, 141.9 @ 48 hz sealed on the dash with termlab Competition Sub Box: 3.10 cubic ft. net tuned to 50.58 hz with 2 6 inch aeroports, 147.9 @ 62 hz sealed on the dash with termlab Amp: Powerbass ASA 1000.1 Dx(eventually gonna get a planet audio bb2400.1) Big 3: Phoenix Gold 1/0 Gauge Amp Wire: Knukoncepts 1/0 gauge Alternator: Stock 90 amp Battery Under the hood: Autocraft Gold Top Battery Battery In Back: None for now but I am looking for one so pm me if you have one for sale HU: Pioneer DEH-2900MP Front/Rear Amp: Hifonics Txi-4408 4 channel amp Front Speakers: Orion Cobalt 6.5 coaxial Rear Deck Speakers: Orion Cobalt 6x9 coaxial Home Audio Setup: Speakers:2 Cerwin Vega D-3's (10" Woofer,5 1/4" mid-range,1" Bullet Dome Tweeter) 2 Cerwin Vega D-5's (12" Directed Audio Xtreme 124SX Subwoofer,5 1/4 mid-range,1" Bullet Dome Tweeter)Kenwood center channel and rears.

fox_racin4 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 How clean? Okay now go back and measure it with an oscope and lemme know what you get before clip, clip, clip lol i was running it at 1 ohm i set gains for 3000rms@1ohm ( 54v) so i dont "overdrive" the amp o scoped it and it was clean still had lots of "headroom" left...
