Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 37 Registered: Apr-06 | I've heard the amp is to much power. Some people say its alright. I need advice on this matter. |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 899 Registered: Oct-05 | lol, havent you already posted this?? just hook it up to 4 ohms, to give each sub 750 watts rms. wait, do u have a zx2500.1 or kx2500.1?? each put out diff power at ohms. if you do have the kx2500.1, hook up to 4 ohms (if you have DVC 4 ohm subs) and you'll be set |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 903 Registered: Oct-05 | i wouldnt recommend that^^. you cant hear if the subs are overworking, until you find that out, they'll blow  |

|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 39 Registered: Apr-06 | no the subs are 4 ohm DVC |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6603 Registered: Jul-05 | can u switch 2 the 2ohm version |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 41 Registered: Apr-06 | No I have the 4ohm version. I wish I could. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6604 Registered: Jul-05 | ok, but u havent bought the amp yet right??? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 42 Registered: Apr-06 | The amp will be coming on the 26th. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6605 Registered: Jul-05 | oh sh!t, it will work, but not to there full poteintial |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 907 Registered: Oct-05 | i dont think you want to put 2500 watts into 2 750 rms subs rovin. the amp does 1500 @ 4 ohms, so wouldnt it make more snese to wire to 4 ohms and get 750 per sub, which is what their rated at?? |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 908 Registered: Oct-05 | why would you want to put 2500 wats into 2 750 rms subs?? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 43 Registered: Apr-06 | Thats what i was thinking bassman3. I didn't want to run the full 1500 to each sub. Will 750 per sub sound good. What does rms mean? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6606 Registered: Jul-05 | the amp does 1250@4 ohms, personally i would give them around 1000rms a piece |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 909 Registered: Oct-05 | Oh WTF. this site when i was looking at the specs gave me the wrong info and said 1500 @ 4 ohms. if its rated at 2 ohms to be 2500 that means around 1250 each sub, and that to me sounds like a lil much for a sub thats 750 rms. |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7469 Registered: Jul-05 | k - maybe i was thinking those subs r 100wrms each (too many damn threads opened same time-lol ) amp http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14825 sub http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16855 sub is rated 750 each so u said u bought 4 ohms dvc version ? man u should cancel that amp order ASAP ! maybe get a PPI DCX 1500 Or an amp that does around 2000wrms @ 1ohm ........ |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 44 Registered: Apr-06 | 1250 for 4 ohm? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 45 Registered: Apr-06 | the amp will be at my house on the 26th. What should i do since I already have both items? 1250 is 2 much power for a 1500 watt sub? i know its 750 rms. what if you went over that? |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 911 Registered: Oct-05 | thats your best bet, but that giving each sub around 650 rms. That isnt much of a diff though, and i know that they underrate their amps so your sub will prolly be gettin 700 each. Not to shabby, but i would rather put a lil more, than to have them underpowered. either way, they will sound very good. e-mail them and see if you can return. if not, it not a huge loss. |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7471 Registered: Jul-05 | well u either keep both subs & cancel amp order or get amp cancel sub order what i would do is KEEP amp , cancel subs & instead buy 2 12s RE SX subs www.reaudio.com ... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 46 Registered: Apr-06 | i bought both items from 2 different dealers on ebay. I was thinking the amp would come out to be 750 rms per sub. I didn't want to over power or under. What subs would go good with this amp? Or is it alright with the 2 that i have. I heard under power will hurt the amp. |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7472 Registered: Jul-05 | """What subs would go good with this amp?""" i told u in my last post ... |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 485 Registered: Dec-05 | even with the same subs, problem is that you don't have DVC 2ohm, you could give them 1000wrms a piece and turn the gain down a lil bit so they won't blow, for me i would sell the subs and get some better or trade it with someone and get dual 2 ohm |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 47 Registered: Apr-06 | So if I had dvc 2 ohm it would be alot better for me? |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 491 Registered: Dec-05 | hell yeah! your amp puts out 2500w rms at 2 ohms, you give them 1000w rms, but you need to control the gain, don't put it too high. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 48 Registered: Apr-06 | well i'll see If i can trade for 2 ohm dvc. Hopefully I can. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 914 Registered: Oct-05 | thats alot of watts for one of those subs. you will be overpowering them in my opinion, and could potentially lead to blowing them. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 915 Registered: Oct-05 | putting 1250 watts into a 750 rms sub. i like those subs, and i would get a diff amp, or wire it to 2 ohms see how you like it, and then if you dont like it get a diff amp. i would hook up and see hw you like it first |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 497 Registered: Dec-05 | bassman, he must turn the gain down, it's better for him to trade subs cuz is cheaper, in fact, is free, if he gives 900-1000w to each sub they will be fine, i don't think he's going to drive with 2000w rms inside the trunk without getting a police ticket, lol!!!!!!!! |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7477 Registered: Jul-05 | Brandon W either way u look @ it - u got ur self a BAD combo ,like i said above get rid of 1 or the other or better yet - BOTH ! ..... |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 501 Registered: Dec-05 | why these guys never talk with this forum before buying, two advices: 1- You get what you pay for (most of the cases jejeje) 2- DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 49 Registered: Apr-06 | I got the 2 ohm dvc subs coming. So all I should do is turn the gain down to 1000 or 900? |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 917 Registered: Oct-05 | you dont turn the gain down to 900 or 1000.there is no certin # that you turn it to.you need to match the voltage output of ur HU with ur gain, and then turn it a lil below that |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 918 Registered: Oct-05 | you dont turn the gain for what watts you want the amp to put out. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 50 Registered: Apr-06 | what does this mean? 1500 x 1 @ 4 ohms, from 20-200 HZ, 14.4Vdc, 1% THD. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 938 Registered: Oct-05 | it does 1500 watts in bridged mode @ 14.4 volts (which is usually what the rating are at. THD is the signal to noise ratio or harmonic distortion and anything below 1 is fine. what amp is that? |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 939 Registered: Oct-05 | signal to noise ratio isnt the same as THD, but you want that number to be above 80 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 63 Registered: Apr-06 | This is the kx2500.1 birth sheet from the actual manual. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 940 Registered: Oct-05 | ohh. just wire ur subs to 4 ohms with those cvx's. dont worry about it anymore, you have the DVC 4 ohm subs, wire it to 4 ohms and give each sub 750 or more watts since the amp is overrated. Dont borry bout the #s like THD and stuff, it wont be a noticiable diff.  |
|
Bronze Member Username: Don_beeskiBourbonnais, IL Kankakee Post Number: 65 Registered: Apr-06 | How do you bridge an amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 946 Registered: Oct-05 | it will say on the amp "bridged" or it should say and it will point to the + and - terminal you need to hook it up at. so you basically take the speaker wire, put it in the bridged terminals and then connect ur subs or vis versa |
