Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 845 Registered: Dec-05 | bassman, those subs are 750 rms right? orion 2500d puts 1700 at 2 ohm, so 750x2= 1500w rms at 2 ohms, so the amp will work man jeje |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1900 Registered: Oct-05 | or you can find an amp that does 2000 @ 2 ohms  |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 847 Registered: Dec-05 | he can buy two strappables amp and wire them to create a 2 ohm load |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1901 Registered: Oct-05 | my bad. lol. i was thinkin 1000. i was just helpin someone that had 2 15" l7's, lol. in that case, i still wouldnt get the orion 2500d... too much power get the new kicker zx1500.1. puts out 1500 + @ 2 ohms. you will be happy with that!!!!! |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1902 Registered: Oct-05 | ^^ i think that would work perfecty but you could do the strapping, but too much work when u have an amp that is already perfect for ya |

You need rca cables as well. Just buy a complete package it will have everything you need. You need a fuse holder, a fuse, crimp rings, and you need diferent amounts of each wire, its easier to get the entire kit |

|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1914 Registered: Oct-05 | so KEEP the 2 ohm version!!!! and wire them to a 2 ohm load |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 866 Registered: Dec-05 | IDK why he's switching, get another dual 2 and you're done |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1918 Registered: Oct-05 | i kno! i hope he doesnt. he prolly got confused on some wiring options and thinks you can wire 2 2 ohm subs to a 1 ohm load |
|
New member Username: Icexx99Post Number: 7 Registered: Jun-06 | im not switching anymore, but everyone is so confusing |
|
Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 876 Registered: Dec-05 | just go to www.the12volt.com and go to woofer wiring, you'll get the answers you want |
