billy101 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hi, I want to double check something with the wiring I did in a buddy's car. Audiopipe AP-15001D. Two RE Audio SEXD4-12s wired down to 1 ohm. How would I hook it up to this amplifier? It has two sets of output terminals on the side.... Probably a noob as hell question, but I wanna make sure before I screw something up. Thanks! Quote First System 2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.

TeejayBee Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 theres two sets of in puts, two one sub + - to the left side then the second subs + - to the other side input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy101 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 theres two sets of in puts, two one sub + - to the left side then the second subs + - to the other side input Huh??? That's confusing as hell. Would it be bad to hook up the pos & neg from the subs that are wired down to 1 ohm into just one of the outputs on the amp? I used the rockford fosgate wiring wizard...using this diagram..would it be bad to hook it straight to the amp like that? Quote First System 2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.

Guest Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) doesnt matter how many terminals on the amp you use. i use 2, but you can use all 4. doesnt matter they all do the same exact thing. edit: just because there are 2 sets of speaker terminals on a monoblock amp, doesnt mean its a 2 channel or whatever. does not hurt to use 1 set or both sets.

Okay, awesome. thanks. How's your electrical in your Corolla? I'm doing this work for my friends 1993 Corolla that I talked to you about awhile back. He's having massive voltage drop to the point where the amp hits protect, so we turn it down a bit. The headlight dim a whole lot, along with any interior lights.

I'm on xbox live with him telling him all this stuff..he has that wimpy 70 amp alternator as well. I mentioned the big 3 to him and he said it sounded like something he could do. He does have a stock battery as well he thinks is pretty old so he may swap it out eventually. What gauge wire did you run to the back for the amp? I'm pretty sure we've got 4 gauge going from the battery to the trunk. Where do you got your ground going to? Quote First System 2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.

Where do you got your ground going to? the big 3 is SO easy on these cars. the alternator is in plain sight. yeah i have a run of 4 gauge for my audiopipe and a run of 8 gauge to my rockford fosgate amp. i grounded both to the middle bolt that holds on the back part of the rear seat. i put the lugs under the little U post that is attached to the seat. of course you need to sand off all the paint in order to get a good contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're able to turn it up all the way? jeezzzz. we can't get that far..haha Big 3 is pretty much 0 gauge from alternator to battery? and then battery to ground? What else?

What else? yeah i have pretty much no problems. and yeah its alternator + to battery +, then for battery - to body ground, i used one of the strut tower bolts on the driver side (practically like 8" away), again sanding off the paint. for the 2nd ground you're supposed to do, i didnt do it because i am too lazy to look for a bolt and prep everything.
