Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9745 Registered: Jun-04 | you might want to take a look at audioque sd 2's they are rated for 300 rms but you should be able to overdrive them a little for daily use....just set your gain to a safe power level with a dmm |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9755 Registered: Jun-04 | I dont know why I thought I read kenwood haha....yeah kenwood amps would not be good in my book either but your amp is not 2 ohms stable bridged (only 4 ohms) and it looks like your only going to put out about 600 rms with that amp at 14.4 volts after efficiency loss (60 x 14.4 = 864 minus 30 % = 604) http://www.ugotadeal.com/product_info.php?products_id=4644&ref=froogle * RMS Power (4 ohms): 220 watts x 2 ch. * RMS Power (2 ohms): 440 watts x 2 ch. * RMS Power (1 ohm): Not Stable * Bridged RMS Power: 880 watts * Peak Power Output: 1760 watts approx. * Min.

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9756 Registered: Jun-04 | so scrap the idea i gave about two audioque sd 2's that would put you at 2 ohms bridged |
Bronze Member Username: Beamerboy46350LaPorte, IN United States Post Number: 30 Registered: Jun-08 | its stable stereo 2 ohms so i can run a dvc sub at 2 ohms to get 440 x 2 or 880x1 at 4 ohms with 2 dual 4 ohm subs i thought or am i wrong ??? |
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9780 Registered: Jun-04 | you can but then youll have no crossover control to filter out the frequencies that shouldnt be playing through the sub so you need a pair of subwoofers that will give you a 4 ohm load....what vehicle is this are you sure you have the room for two 15's |

Bronze Member Username: Beamerboy46350LaPorte, IN United States Post Number: 32 Registered: Jun-08 | also i have a crossover just for the subs with filter and boost +12 db but il be keeping it off. a;so how does bumping the ohms to 2 ohms make me lose crossover or making them run together at 4 ohm would that make me lose my crossover?? Im so confused? |
