New member Username: Chronic_mkaPost Number: 1 Registered: 02-2004 | I have 2- 4 ohm DVC subs and a 2-channel amp. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to wire them to get 1 ohm if it is possible. |

Bronze Member Username: TbonePost Number: 25 Registered: 02-2004 | Can your amp handle a One Ohm load? If you wire the two speakers inputs in parallel, positive to positive, negative to negative, you will have a two ohm load on each channel of your two channel amp. This should be okay. You could reach a One ohm rating by wiring the two subs in parallel by each speaker first, then each speaker in parallel with the other, but do not bridge the amp onto this load, bad news! I would try the two ohm load per channel first, and if it doen't hit hard enough, possibly buying a new larger amplifier that provides more power at two ohms per channel. So yes, it is possible to achieve a one ohm load with the subs you have, but I wouldn't bridge a two channel amp to drive them, it would be to much for the amp to handle (most amps). |

Bronze Member Username: ShouderPost Number: 28 Registered: 12-2003 | Hey guys. I have a AudioBahn a2200hct, and the same subs setup as you. I have each sup wired down to a 2 ohm load per channel, and that's more than enough. I know for a fact that your amp can handle a one ohm load. But i don't think you would need to wire down your subs and bridge them to the amp at 1 ohm that might be too much for your subs. |

Bronze Member Username: TbonePost Number: 34 Registered: 02-2004 | agreed, I think you should wire your subs up just like Tim's, here is how you do it- (a) from the positive lead from on of the amplifiers channels, connect to both positive terminals on one of your subs. (b) Do the same for the Negatives. (c) Do the same for the other sub, onto the other channel of the amp. You reach a two ohm load per channel because each sub a two 4 ohm voice coils (4 + 4 =2 ohms in parallel. thus each channel of your amp is seeing a two ohm load, and you should have plenty of bass. |

pete pir Unregistered guest | hi i was wondering if it is possible to wire one sub into i a one ohm load i know it can be done with more than one sub but im just not shure if it can be done with just one sub if u guys could also explain how that is done i would greatly appreciate it thanx pete |

Audiobahn Rep. Unregistered guest | i just put an entire system together ALL AUDIOBAHN im competing this fall, did last fall too, audiobahn has nice looks and nice sound, don't underestimate |
|
Anonymous | I guess we'll see how you do. Good luck, you're going to need a miracle with Audiobahn. Sorry, don't mean to diss, but there are MUCH better companies out there. |
|
Audiobahn Rep. Unregistered guest | Last fall placed 2nd.. Kicker goes 1 all the time.. this fall going for first.. what do you think is wrong with audiobahn? I use there subs and speakers only, i then use profile california amps, alpine head units, streetwires wires, kicker caps.. do you dislike there speakers or all of the audiobahn stuff? |

Anonymous | Does any one have a 4 guage, dual amp wiring kit, w/ about 20' of cable,Rca's,Fuse,Fuse holder, Ground, Remote Lead, etc.... ALSO DOES ANY ONE KNOW IF THEY MAKE TRIPLE AMP WIRING KITS? MY SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE AROUND 2000 WATTS..KEEP THAT IN MIND EMAIL ME AT DREAD07@HOTMAIL.COM |

Anonymous | All of their stuff actually. If you are truly a representative, maybe you can tell some of your superiors. A lot of people will agree that they are unreliable, have very poor sound quality, and are definately a waste of money for what you get. If I wanted flames, I'd make my own and etch them in the basket of a decent sub and chrome dip it. Profile Californias? Get outta here man, I could buys subs at Circuit city and blow you out of the water. What kind of competition are you entering, one in a high school parking lot? |

dread07, Unregistered guest | thnx glass....now for you mr. anoynmous.. profile amps, very dependable, good ratings, etc.. good for price. and lol i would never rep. audiobahn i was jk. |
|
Anonymous | Not exceptional, though, as far as competitions go. I didn't question their rating or their price, but I do question their dependabilty compared to higher end amps, and the fact that they are not exactly up to par on a decent competition. |
