Amplifier Type: Mono RMS Power: 787W x 1 @ 4 Ohms THD at 4-Ohm RMS Power: <1 % RMS Power: 1114W x 1 @ 2 Ohms since you havent already bought the sub get the SX specially ordered with dual 4 ohm coiuls so you can wire it to 2 ohms which is done like this... http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp?WoofQty=1+woofer&WoofImp= Dual+Voice+Coil+-+4+ohms+x+2&image.x=17&image.y=10 |

Anonymous | but if i do it in 4 ohm i would only get 787wrms right, or no? |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1124 Registered: Sep-04 | correct. if u get a normal SX and wire it series for a 4 ohm load you will push 787wrms. if you custom order it D4ohm you can wire it parallel and get the 1114wrms. |

Bronze Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 40 Registered: Oct-05 | so i have one positive wire from the amp and then it splits into 2 positive wires which is put on both of the positive sides of the sub... right?????????/ am i reading this correctly? |

Bronze Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 42 Registered: Oct-05 | is this correct... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1604 Registered: Jul-05 | i think u got it |

Bronze Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 45 Registered: Oct-05 | i didnt know that the speaker wires split into 2 parts... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1611 Registered: Jul-05 | u take 2 equal lengths of wire & attach it to each of the sub's terminals THEN join the wires back up - i cannot explain simpler than that.....lol |
