Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 899 Registered: Feb-06 | i wouldn't get a kenwood mono, unless thats all you can afford. what's the vc on the r's? |

New member Username: RandomxunknownPost Number: 3 Registered: Jun-06 | dual 4 ohms |
|
New member Username: RandomxunknownPost Number: 5 Registered: Jun-06 | they are dual 4 ohm coils |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 900 Registered: Feb-06 | wire them to 2ohm load, if using 2 amps. |
|
New member Username: RandomxunknownPost Number: 6 Registered: Jun-06 | alright thanks. |

Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 884 Registered: Dec-05 | just get one amp that puts out 1000-1200w at 1 ohm |
|
Bronze Member Username: JustblazeSt.Louis, MO USA Post Number: 29 Registered: Jun-06 | yeah, what julio said, youll get more output from your amp and more power to your subs if you wire both subs together for a 1 ohm load. |
|
New member Username: RandomxunknownPost Number: 7 Registered: Jun-06 | one problem, u cant wire 4 ohm dvc subs to 1 ohm, either way i have a single amp running both subs @ 2 ohms, its a el-cheapo LEGACY LA1868 2000 Watt amp. and it bumps them pretty nice for now. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1045 Registered: Dec-05 | get hifonics 1206d, wire both subs in parallel to the amp, 1 ohm load. |
|
New member Username: RandomxunknownPost Number: 8 Registered: Jun-06 | i wont wire them in parallel mode, no way, no two subs are the same, thats why. ill run them the way i have it, its not hurting them nor pushing the, so its just right. |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2525 Registered: Sep-05 | it does not matter which wya you run them series/parallel (bridged) or each speaker series and 1 speaker per channel, the power is the same. |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1939 Registered: Oct-05 | yup^^. i would also look at a kicker kx1200.1 wired to one ohm. or if you are lookin at two amps get 2 zx750.1's and wire each sub to 2 ohms or you could get a hifonics: http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BXi1606D-1600W-MONOBLOCK-Class-D-Amp-NEW-06_W0QQite mZ140002533432QQihZ004QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or 2 audiobahn a8000t's "right now hey are wired to 8 ohms." your also runnin ur subs at 8 ohms. dam. what amp do you have that can wire to 8 ohms and put out the power??? also 2 4ohm subs wire to a 1 or 4 ohm load FYI one 4 ohm sub wires to a 2 or 8 ohm load. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1058 Registered: Dec-05 | bassman, a lil question, why did you recommend the 1606d, it puts out 1480w rms, i don't think type rs can handle that. The 1206 should be putting 1000w rms at 1 ohm don't you think. Their new stuff is like 75-80% lol! |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1967 Registered: Oct-05 | lol. yup their new stuff is. each sub is rated at 750 rms (wut he said they are)... thats why lol i'm just goin but wut specs he listed |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1968 Registered: Oct-05 | i'm assuming he has the 15" since thats rated at 750 rms |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1969 Registered: Oct-05 | he never stated wut size |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1060 Registered: Dec-05 | lol yea he stated, 750 rms and 500 nominal power handling, jeje. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1976 Registered: Oct-05 | lol. 750 rms. there ya go |
|
New member Username: RandomxunknownPost Number: 10 Registered: Jun-06 | nope i have 12's, lol, and im going to look into those amps that u sugested. |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 938 Registered: Feb-06 | i wouldn't put a kicker 750.1 on each r if i was you. i've seen many sheets for those amps and the normally say they put out a little over 900w, which is a lot for a r. i wouldn't really go over 700w. |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1075 Registered: Dec-05 | get hifonics 1206d |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 2003 Registered: Oct-05 | ^^^ or a kicker kx1200.1 |
