I want them to really hit and i have a 88 blazer s-10. I had one rockford p2 12 and i though that hit pretty good and this should hit much louder and harder right? |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1962 Registered: Oct-05 | no, lol. its ok (2)4 ohms sub wire to a 1 or 4 ohm load (1) 4 ohm sub wires to a 2 or 8 ohms load. your tryin to match what the sub wires to, with the amp depending on how much power the amp puts out at that ohm load. for quick wiring: go to www.the12volt.com--- go to the left---- go to woofer wiring --- select one sub --- selet dual 4 ohm in the next box --- then wire to the 2 ohm load |
