rideredder Unregistered guest | if i have two dual 4 Ohm voice coil subs and an amp that is 1 Ohm stable, what would be the best way to wire these so I get the most out of them. Audiobahn 10" Flame Q AW1006T, 900Wrms Audiobahn A2150HCT High Current Flame Amp, 1200Wrmsx1 at 1 Ohm Mono |

They will still be under powered giving each sub 600 watts but it will be better than 4 ohm which gives aeach sub only 300. Make sure to bridge the channels on the amp. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp |

allende5 Unregistered guest | Marcus, just curious...did your sub actually blow-out as in burn out. I'm asking because I did wreck an Alpine 10" type-x w/ an Audiobahn 8000T (800w RMS @ 2ohm), however I really doubt the sub was "blown-out" as opposed to being distored to death from underpowering it. I've seen subs actually blow-out before (with smoke and all), but with mine, it just started rattling one day. I think subs going bad while using amps within or under the RMS rating of the sub is a common occurance if the amp is not putting out clean power. Now I'm using a 1000/1 and a 12" Type-X. |

allende5 Unregistered guest | So it's likely I had the input sensitivity too high? |
