Parentnoia Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 First off, if I put 300w through to subs, do they both see 300 or 150 a piece? And also, why is that when I doubled my wattage, there was no noticeable difference in loudness? 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick.

Parentnoia Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Amp Sub 1 Sub 2 Both have an RMS around 150. Peak of at least 400.

DBz Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Amp Sub 1 Sub 2 Both have an RMS around 150. Peak of at least 400. Wired in parallel bridged. So you have 2 different subs, what impedance are they wired at? 2 ohm? 1 ohm? Btw thats a 4 channel amp man, you need a mono block . But to answer your question, each sub would see 150rms, depending on your electrical.

Most of my system was gifts (except the DS12). I tried sticking to one sub, but it, to me, sounded one sided. 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards.

Well, if it's playing bass frequencies, it's impossible for the human ear to distinguish it's direction, barring of course you had the sub placed incorrectly... maybe give some detail about that? second, you should always try to have matching subwoofers, each will act slightly differently, betweend diff brands/impedance/designs etc. and any, even minor differences can cause destructive interference, lowering sound quality and loudness, just for future reference. 2009 Cobalt LT Pioneer Headunit 2x Pioneer 6 1/2 (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 1" tweeters (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 6x9 (stock amp 4x Pioneer 6 1/2 Pioneer GM-6400F Soundstream DTR 1700 R.I.P 2x Champion series PRO 12" subs 0 AWG Big 3, Stinger SP1700 battery To come: New or repaired DTR!!
