Bronze Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 34 Registered: Sep-05 | alright now im trying to learn about car audio. if the subs are rated at 4 ohms why do you want the subs to be rated at one ohms? and could you link me tot he sx1250.1 never heard of it |
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10448 Registered: Dec-03 | www.kicker.com each sub has 2 four-oum coils. wire coils on each sub in parallel for a 2 ohm load. wire both subs in parallel, get a 1 ohm load the Kicker amp puts out an actual 1400+ watts @ 1 ohm.. so you'll be feeding those subs plenty of power with that amp. good match for a pair of SE subs |
