My amp will do 2 ohms, but only at 350 watts with 700 watt peak. The sub does 500 watt at 2 ohms, 1500 peak. So obviously the amp won't push the sub fully, but I have a new amp coming next week. But, until then, I want to run this one. So, which jumper do I need to wire it at 2 ohms? I am really new to the whole audio scene, so please explain in dummy terms. I kinda figured, I can either spend 800$ to get a $200 stereo, or 200$ for a 200$ stereo. The downside, I have to wire it all. So, beings my amp is already hooked up and wired, and I just need the sub hooked up to the box, what do I need? |

Sub will be wired to a 2ohm load so your amp will be giving it 350wrms. Since the sub is 500wrms your not underpowering it to much. |

New member Username: Phantom_miriaPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-08 | Ok. I understand up to that point. The part im confused on is the jumper cables themselves. I typed in Speaker Jumpers in a few places, one being ebay, and they range from 4$ to 300$. I would prefer to just go somewhere like Cartoys, but I have no idea what I need as far as the jumper wires go. So, which jumper cables do I need for that? |
