New member Username: GlocknesmonstrLargo, Fl Usa Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok iam new to this board, but not to new to subs and amps. But for some resone i cant figure out how to wire it so it works right. The best i can do is turn it up to like 43 and only hear a littel bump bump close to a 6x9. Well i have a audiobahn amp series a8000t and an aw1506t subwoofer. sub is dual 4ohm voice coil. amp is 800rmsx1 4ohm mono. plz help me detailed descirption and photos would be wonderfull. psguy buy my house told me some crazy way to do it using a split rca cable and hooking each voice coil to each channele to the sub but know noise. |

New member Username: GlocknesmonstrLargo, Fl Usa Post Number: 3 Registered: Aug-05 | Yup i think thats what i did. i wired one voice coil to 1st channel and the other voice coil to the 2nd channel, and took the white end of the rca cable pluged it into a v split rca and pluged the split into the amp. This works but is it running ok (i.e. at the right ohms for the sub and amp.) |

I hooked it up in 2ohms and the amp start smoking but the car was jumping, really powerful. Hooked it up to 8ohms and I think I messed up my subs, I went back to 2 ohms and the sub don't kick any more  . Went and bought a 4ohm stable pioneer tsw306c and it works great. Going to go turn the gain up a little more and tweak some setting now.. latz. |
