Post Number: 2306 Registered: May-07 | if you have dual 4 ohm voice coils and they are wired in parallel to a 1 ohm load, then that amp is just fine for the subs.. if your subs are dual 2 ohm and are wired series/parallel to a 2 ohm load than that would not be the ideal amp. you do not need another amp if your subs are dual 4 ohm. |

Bronze Member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 94 Registered: Dec-08 | since they're dual 2 you should try and get rid of the TMA and look for a JL1000 for cheap somewhere. you'll never want another amp. probably. if you don't upgrade. or upgrade to something the JL can handle. the JL1000.1 is a hell of an amp. my brother used it to push 2 15" L5s when he had them, and it was pushing them harder than the ZX1500 he had. go here and read post #8 from an official JL dealer. http://www.audiogroupforum.com/csforum/showthread.php?t=68240 |

in this caseit would be an option to get another identical amp and wire 1 sub to 1 amp. (in parallel- all+'s go to + on amp/ all -'s go to - on amp) http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=22 ^^^ 1st diagram each sub would have ~500 wrms which is perfect. I'm curious to know what enclosure you have the subs in... can you take a picture? |

Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 2250 Registered: Oct-05 | You're right. I apologize. |

Bronze Member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 98 Registered: Dec-08 | so the other day everyone was on edge, and now everyone actually apologizes.. i said sorry to snowball last night driz said sorry. everyone loves everyone! it shouldn't matter if its in a pre- fab box by kicker or not. that just means the subs are already wired for you. which you can easily undo by taking them out. if you want a new amp for them, get a new amp. but i think you should return them and get the D4 models. or you could return the TMA and get a RD1000. i love mine, and RD is very dependable. |
