New member Username: Bp317Post Number: 5 Registered: Aug-05 | alright, im trying to decide on which amp im wanting to get to push my 2 12" l7's. im wanting to push atleast 600 watts to each one, and im wonderin if these diagrams are true. http://www.cardomain.com/shop/wooferwizard.pl?num_of_subs=2&impedance_of_subs=4o hm_dvc&x=157&y=4 because i think im gonna go with option 1. Could i get a mono channel amp that pushes around 600x1 @ 1 ohm and it put 600 watts to each sub? thanks, sorry if i left out any details. |
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 672 Registered: Apr-05 | Sorry bro, it doesn't work like that. 600x1 means that you have 600 watts total. So with 2 subs hooked up to it, you'll halve it, or 300 watts to each sub. Not what you want. For those subs, look for a mono amp that is 1-ohm stable and does atleast 1200 wrms @ 1 ohm or a 2-channel amp that does atleast 1200 wrms @ 4-ohms bridged. And sorry to have to tell you this but since you seem to be a newbie I felt I should warn you: Your going to need to upgrade you alternator for that setup. And its gonna cost ya. Becuase I wouldn't want you fryin' sh1t when you try to hook it to your stock alternator. |

Could i add a second battery to the back of my car instead of having to upgrade my alternator? haha, im pretty new at this and im still learning some concepts. thanks though. |
