New member Username: KapreseWalstonburg, NC USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-07 | What people I am new up here and I was just wondering what should I set my HU bass and Sub-output to have it on the average level but not to much were as in something will blow or burn into flames I have a Panasonic CQ-8300 and a Kenwood KAC_8101D (mono) 200w@4 ohm and 400@2 ohms.Plus a sealed box for my Volf. subs 500rms.I know they have a bad rep. but they pound in my small Saturn.PLease leave any recommendation or a better setup or arrangement (rambling on I know) |

You don't want the cones smashin into anything. -Fishy |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11890 Registered: Jul-05 | ok..theres the problem..ur subs are dvc4ohm so wired together the will create a 1ohm load...ur amp is not 1ohm stable nor is it enough power for those subs... this is the only way to wire them with out any problems..but it is at 4ohms and ur amp only produces 200rms at 4ohms...so thats 100rms per sub...so ur underpowering them by 400rms per sub..u need another amp..  |
