New member Username: KenkenniPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | Hello everyone. New here. I was hoping you guys can help me with a particular setup I'm going for. Iam about to purchase 2 10" Audiobahn Alum10s. They are rated at 1600 watts a apeaker and they are dual 6 ohms. Rms rating is 800. They are going to be housed in a custom box to fit under the back seat of my Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab(2001). Question is how do you wire these type of speakers or what is the best way to wire them. Also what type of amplifier or what type would you recommend to pudh this type of power. I want them to hit hard and clear. I also plan on running the amp with a capacitor. What would be better, a 500k cap or a 1.0 farad cap as I forgot the rules on using capacitors. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ken |

This is how u wire them http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=62 Also there is no need for you to have a cap read http://wickedcases.com/caraudio/capacitors.html As for ur setup being hard and clear, NOT WITH AUDIOBURN......lol Good Luck |

I basically want something that hits hard at a reasonable price. I don't have the 'Big Baller Budget' yet. What are these assassins you mention. Do you have a link. |
