Say hello to ya mothahhh
Hhhhhh hi m
I finally figured out why so many people have trouble figuring this all out. I was having issues with parallel and didn't understand how 1 voice coil could run 500 at 4 ohms, but then get a whole other coil with it's own resistance and the sub would stay at 500 but have less resistance.
When you do "series" you are linking the coils (4ohm) together, therefore; doubling the resistance because the 500 has to travel through 8 ohms of resistance.
Then you look at the amp #'s and it says,
2x250 @ 4ohm
2x250 @ 2ohm
1x500 @ 2ohm , the numbers are not important
this is what messes people without knowledge up, they look at amps and try to apply that same logic to subs, plus most people truly do not know what is happening in the amp.
What I was doing was, I seen 2x4ohm coils and assumed if they were ran in parallel that the resistance would be 4ohm.
What I didn't realize is the amp is only ever going to put out 500 at 4ohms, so if I give it 2 coils, that load will be split(50%) between the two coils. Coil 1 uses 250 at 2ohm and coil 2 uses 250 at 2ohms, and 2 x 2ohm loads in parallel = 2 ohms.
It makes so much sense now. I just learned this and can already answer one of the biggest questions out there:
Is it better to run series or parallel?
When you move into a new place, would you rather do it all yourself and get wore out faster, or use 2 people and use half your potential, therefore; lasting longer.
You can run 500 through a 4ohm wire at 100% for 5 years, or you can buy DVC and split that 500 into 250 and only run each coil at 50% 250 @ 2ohms for 10 years; for example.
I have not learned much about amps yet and if you actually can use that extra 50% on each coil. If you have 2 coils you have 200%, but in parallel you only use 100% and is why the ohms are 50% lower, but can you use that sub at 200% 1000 at 4ohms, if you can do 500 at 2ohm, why can't I cheat and buy a 1000 @ 4ohm and use both coils to their max.
From my understanding, DVC is purely to help the longevity. My thing is, if you have SVC and it can do 500 at 4ohm, then you have DVC and it will have 2 x 500 @4ohms, that is not meant to be 2 subs in 1, it is just 2 coils rated the same so you don't have to use one wearing it out faster, you now have 2 coils at low wattage working together to create the desired wattage.
I think.
I see now, the sub's material and construction is only rated for 100% and while you do have 2 subs in 1, 200% if you exceed 100%, you risk ruining your equipment.
Man i been hooking up stereo since the 90. I always go by ear and this is all new to me. 😂
My homie "I got my shit hooked up at a shop PROFESSIONALLY" lmaooooo
I was planning on using two DVC 4ohm subs wired to 1 ohm but then I plugged in the DVC 2ohm into winisd and it fixed some of the problems I was dealing with so now I am going to do that wired to 2 ohms. Just using this video to double check that it was good to do so, my amp can also do a 2ohm load
Winisd was showing my cone excursion was too high at around 30-35 hz. Swapping over got me down to like 10hz.
This is my first build and I got a frefab box (vehicle specific to go under my rear seats) so I was learning how to input the parameters into winisd to choose the proper subwoofer for my enclosure.
Thank you sir, this was an outstanding video. Very informative.
This is the best video on the face of this earth
:D
Your the man... KEEP ON KEEPING ON
MY DUDE
Tremendous breakdown, you got a new subcriber
:)
Quality Mobile Video so i have two memphis m6 12s 700 watts rms... so 1400 total. Planning to push them with Audio Control lc 1.1500 . Is that a good match? Or should i go stronger amp?
Fkng outstanding information!👍👍👍
Glad you think so!
Great Info,
Thought you would be able to advice with this, Have a P1 rockford fosgate sub with a cerwin vega HED600.4 amp (bridged 150W RMS, 4 Ohms) the only speaker attached to it is the sub., the temperature of amp reaches to 60-65 degree, professional blaupunkt wiring, and installation, this overheating is killing me, and thinking of upgrading to a new amp...
What needs to be done, Boss!
I like how you constantly talk down to your audience while expecting them watch your videos and subscribe....makes a lot of since
Sense*.... They're jokes bud. Relax
@@Qualitymobilevideo i get the context. Just saying probably would have more subs if you werent constantly reminding them of how dumb they were lmao
@@JonnyBGood420 i dont mind hes presentation. Stop being a snowflake
U have no sense of humor I subscribe because how he is lol 😂
@@UrboyVazquezagreed!💀
Thank you I appreciate your videos. I'm looking to connect two to ohm 10-in kicker Comp hours to the kicker 800.1. still confused about ohms
I have 3 factory speaker locations. Bottom door 5.5 to 6.5inch, A-pillar tweeter 1inch and B-pillar 3.5 to 4inch (just behind drivers seat headrest)
I also have a 5.25inch sub located behind drivers seat. Yes 5.25 inch.
I am also thinking of adding a powered 8 inch underneath or behind the passenger seat. Something small that can fit but will also get lower Hz than the measly single 5.25
BUILD MY SYSTEM! Audiofile level equipment only!
- Do I delete the B-pillar speakers because it will mess up the Soundstage? Or do I take on the task of tuning for proper rear fill?
The car is a 1991 Toyota Mr2. So small cabin space.
I have three 8inch subs wired parallel with a final impedance of 3ohms tested with a fluke DMM. What do I do there, match the RMS load at 2 ohm or 4ohm?
U know James it's funny how human beings can't understand perfect English...hahaha I find every single video helpful honestly..thanks alot
I appreciate you Rex
Hey guys Im trying to figure out if my 2014 RockfordFosgate 1200w class d mono amp which makes 800w rated at 2ohms is too much for a single Skar Audio SDR10 D2 which has a RMS of 600w and a peak of 1200. The video said you wanted a little more amp than speaker. Wondering if 200w additional is too much.
The RF prime 1200 amp blew through a RF dual punch p3 10" loaded enclosure. Took about a year and a half. But it was alot of fun while it lasted! Hope the single Skar is tougher than the two Fosgate Punch p3 10's
What amp would work for a single subwoofer with 8 ohm impedance and only 200watt rms?
need help
i would like to use 2 Starsound 12" monster DVC 4ohm subwoofers and 2 6x9's and i'm having trouble choosing the right amp
I bought a Dual 1200 Watt 4/3/2 Channel Class AB MOSFET Powered Amplifier (XPR540) and I have the subwoofer box that I just got today. I’m hoping to successfully install my two 12’ pioneer subwoofers (TS-SW3002S4) I was wondering if my amplifier would be able to work with the subs I’ve bought.
Been closely following videos very informative and now my friends are also very much interested.
For Pioneer GM D9701 , which sub is better in terms of very deep bass and durability; TS D12D4 or TS W3003D4?
Thanks.
Oh the TS-D12D4 is definitely a better subwoofer.
Quality Mobile Video Very grateful Sir 🙏
Quick question, got a Sony xplode 600 watts and bought a Rockford Fosgate 10” dual coil. Both coils give me 4ohms so when I connect them parallel they give me 2ohms. But the amp only takes minimum 4ohms. So do I only connect one side of the speaker? To make it 4ohms only?
So I paralleled my 10” inch kicker comp rt 4 ohm to a 2ohm imped, it has 400 rms and 800 peak, it is just one sub in an enclosure….I can not find a 400 rms 2ohm amp, you mentioned having a bit more amp is safe.
Should I then look for a 500 watt rms 2ohm AMP mono?
I have 2 amp, 4 speakers, and a sub. Amp for the speakers is sony xplod xm-504z, rear speakers
Pioneer TS-A6970F, and front speakers Sony XSR1646, because the rear speakers are 100watts each and the front speakers are 50watts each, while the amp power is 4x50 @ 4ohms, i was thinking to connect the rear speakers at 2ohms, and the front speakers at 6ohms. will that give good sound without harming the system? or do you have better solution?
What amplifier would I need for 4 door speakers which are Kicker CS Series 6-1/2" 2-Way Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones, 4 ohm each, and 100 watts rms (300 peak power)
I have 2 American bass 3000 what 15 inch subs. What Amp would I need to push these? Thanks for the help
Is there a video that speaks to wiring a SVC sub and a DVC sub to a 4 ohm stable load for a 4 ohm monoblock. Could a series on the DVC 4 ohm and then series thw SVC 4 ohm end up as a 4 ohm load on the amp and is there an issue with micing the 2 types of subs in siund quality and is there any danger there either on thw amp or the subs
I have a single 12-inch speaker 600w rms/1200peek (2 ohm dvc) in a box that's wired in a 1 ohm load. My question is can I run an amp that only goes down to 2 ohms? the amp I am using is a rockvile db 12. The db12 is 1000w rms x1 @ 2-ohms
My amp is a 4ohm which i will be using 2 500 watt 4 ohm subwoofers. I'm following the video to connect 2 4ohm to make it into my amp at 4 ohm but the continuous output power is ranked at 185 x 2. So that means i can not use the amp for these two subwoofers, correct? I think I'm following you right.
Love the info...& what music is that?
Greetings to you.
I was searching for amp recommendation over Google and end up on your blog.
I found it very interesting for knowledge, however i am bit confused with ohms and watts.
Looking for an assistance for my spare speakers from Sony 5.1 hometheatre system which is dead now. DAV DZ310
Configuration runs as below.
5 speakers 142 watts 3 ohms each
1 subwoofer 140 watts 3 ohms not powered.
I was looking for an amp with matching wattage ..what would you recommend to search for ...iam ok with connecting car amplifiers to these speakers but not sure what's specs to search in. Can you please recommend this to me.
I am not willing to spend huge money on high end amplifiers
Looking for some light of ray from your end
What about rms to an amp for a single 2ohm dvc sub rated @250 rms, 500ax. If I wire the single sub for the amp to see a 4 ohm load, does the rms change for each voice coil. Is it the same, more , less.
If i have a DVC 4 OHM SUB WITH 750W RMS and i parallel wire it to a 2ohm will it still keep the 750W RMS
How detrimental would it be for my sub if you ran a amp to each coil. 1500 rms dvc. With 2x 1500rms amps
I have a pair of pioneer shallow mount 12inch subwoofers 400 watts rms 1500 watts maximum svc 4 ohm and my amplifer is an old school rockford fosgate power 650 is this all I need please reply thank you
I have 4 speakers 3 ohm and 1 6ohm subwoofer but my amplifier 4-16ohm.what should i do..
Hi James just bought these 2 12” Subs Kicker Comp R 2 dvc 4 ohm I believe 500 rms on each goes with 46cvx1200.1 mono block class d kicker amp so my question is how do we wire them together? Should I do parallel or serious and to what ohm? Oh bytheway the box has two terminal.

do you have a video on wiring 2 dvc to a 4 channel
I have a 2009 rockford fosgate p500 1bd amp. And two 2009 subwoofer dcv rockford fosgate p3sd410. Can I load them at 1 ohm for that amp???

Hey l appreciate the good words on the installation tips DVC do voice coil single voice coil 12-in kicker
No problem 👍
I have Rockford p3 d2 600 watt rms subwoofer.i am looking for best 1 ohm amplifier . which you suggest to me.
Can I run my JBL GTO 300RMS 12" DVC ON my Boss REV-565 250w X 2 2oms?
I have a 2400W max amp kicker 1200W RMS
And 2 12" Dual Voi kicker subs each 500RMS
Is a good compatible amp and subs with it won't blow right when I install it??
Question, Can I connect a single sub 2 OHM DVC to a Monoblock 2 channel output to keep the 2 ohm? so 1 Voicecoil to each amp channel output? my sub and amp are rated to 600w RMS @ 2OHMs and 1000W Amp at 1ohm would be recommended on an 600w RMS SUB? or shoudl i wire it at 4ohm and call it a day with that under power ratings.
A monoblock amp is a single channel. Your amp may have dual outputs but those are paralleled. If you connect two 2 ohm voice coils in parallel you will have a 1 ohm load.
If you have a duel subwoofer can you only use two of the terminals on the subwoofer as a single voice coil and running to the amp or would that mess it up
Technically you can, but you'll blow your subwoofer.
So if i have two skar vd-12 d4 how much do i need my amp too be
Yall actually sell the 500 watts i was mentioning. The pyle plpw10d but the specs says 301 to 500 rms. Those are what i was looking for an amp for
I want to get 2 12” P3 what amp do I need to get for best sound
I’m already have 1 12” JL SVC 4 ohm w3 and a kicker l7 12” DVC 4ohm. I’m having trouble with what wire gauges I need to split and what amplifiers to power both with the same power from battery
The JVC can only be wired to a 4 ohm load, so you need to find an amplifier with a comparable RMS at 4 ohms. The Kicker cna be wired to 1 ohm or 4 ohm. So same thing, an amplifier with a comparable RMS @ 1 ohm or 4 ohm
what if I have a 2x 2 Ohm dual coil sub and two free channels in my 2 Ohm amp. Can I wire the Sub with two wires to the two channels of my amp?
So would an kenwood excelon xr1000 pair well with two 12in JL W-6?I'm a noob sry
Looking for your opinion, do you think it is easier to choose subs first then determine what amp to get,, or other way around?
Persoanlly, I would focus more on what kind of load you want to make first. I purposely have a 2 ohm sub/amp setup. I prefer that because it still offers a lot of power with good efficiency, and I don't need to be the loudest car on the block. Going to 1 ohm gets you a lot more power than 2 ohm so a lot of people prefer that, but your system will be running hot whenever you bump it loud, plus you may need to upgrade power supply deoending on how powerful of a system you put together. From there, I would focus on the subs, favorite brand/style/looks, then an amplifier with the appropriate ratings and impedances to meet your planned system's load
- James :)
If you want all your fenders flexing go with 2 15s at 1 ohm lol 😆
okay james hope you can help me out here. so I bought 2 skar audio VD-12 D4, DVC and are 4ohm subs. can you tell me how you would wire them to a monoblock 1000w amp? thanks and hope to hear from you.soon
How about I show you! This is our video on wiring Two DVC 4 ohm subwoofers to an amplifier: ua-cam.com/video/fyyEDnv-T7o/v-deo.html
I have a 2 channel amp and 2 subs that are DVC 4ohm ,so do I wire each sub down to 2ohm and then connect them on their own channel or do I gotta wire both subs to each other then connect it to the amp?
Can I get the model of your amp?
I measured the impedance of my sub at each coil it only measured 0.5 through 0.24 set at 2k ohms its a 2ohm sub is this correct wired positive to positive and negative to negative it comes out to 1 ohm load right just want to get clarification
Can a rockford t2d212 subwoofer compatible with pioneer 9601 amplifier if tuned to 1ohm ..?
As many salers were refusing the combo
Perfect match @ 1 ohm! Both rated at 1200W RMS

A kicker cxa 800 mono amp will run 2 rockford 12s rated 250 rms 500max at 2 ohms coreect?
Hay I have two alpine mono amps 500 watt each. I’d like to use both of them on my duel voice coil 4 Ohm alpine (sub) 10 inch R series 600 watt RMS. Alpine schematics says I can run one amp pos/neg to same and other amp to other coil pos/neg to same. Am I headed for a heartbreak or not???????
So I have a 12 Inch Kicker Comp R and there Dual Coil 2 ohms , so it means I can use the Planet audio 1,500 and a 4 gauge cable for the subs right ?
If you want your car blown to Jupiter, yes.
So say I wanted 2 12 inch dvc 4 ohm R2 rocksford fosgate subs that have 250 rms I should get a monoblock with 500-600 RMS an wire them parallel to 1 ohm?
Correct!
I have two old audio pipe I paid with diamonds on them they’re 800 W I don’t know if that’s RMS I know their dual voice coil because of your video appreciate that I think with an amp I could go a four channel or Noah to channel 2000 W amp because both of my subs are 800 W is that right?
Bro iam having a infinity 6/9 inch kappa series speakers its output is 2.5 ohms and 110 rms and I am having jbl 2 ch amplifire its out rating is @4ohms 60w And at 2 ohms 70w plzz tell me bro its ok to connect it
I have 700 watt rms amp… what dual coil subwoofer power rating will I need in a 4ohm to get 2ohm paralleling w dual coil to take full advantage of the 700 watt RMS amp?
It's the reverse what are your coils on your subs rated for?
if you run two separate amps, can you run two different ohm loads? like running components on a 4ohm amp and your sub on a 2ohm amp? but both amps powered off the same distribution blocks.
No
Don't c y not
@@ak74headshottaa73 thats what I was thinking since the main power and ground are being broke down inside the power amps. seems like you would be able to run a 4ohm set of component speakers for instance off a 4ohm amp and a 2ohm sub off a 2ohm amp....i mean maybe im missing something but that makes sense to me that it would be possible to do that.
How it bro want to knw how to wire up my dvc sub with duel input to my single voice coil subwoofer with 1 input
I understand this rarely well but if I have a 1 ohm 1500 watt amp with 4 ohm subs does that mean I have to have them wired at 4 ohms? And if I do how much wattage am I getting out of them ?
Look up what your amp pushes at a 4ohm load. It's prob 1/4 of the amps total watt.
1ohm =1500
2ohm =900
4ohm=750 watt
I'm just guessing. But I bet I'm close.
But 750 watts to a 500w rms sub is fantastic. That means you're putting adequate power to the sub.
Again I'm just guessing. You can look uo you're exact amp and see what a 4ohm load output in wattage Is.
So it doesn’t matter 2 or 4 ohm dvc will let push the same amount of power just have to match up the wiring and amplifier?
I got pioneer tsw113 s4, can I hook it to tornado y-011
Hello Brother,
Which amplifier can i use to boost my all 4 speakers and single 12inch sub. specifications as below:

How about if I have a 200watts rms @2ohm speakers mated to 200watts rms @ 2ohms amp. Would that be ok?
Yes that would work
how can i wire a single speaker box dual voice coil Kicker Comp vr to a punch 401s 1200watts amp
Can I not hook up my 2 dvc 4 ohm speakers as followed each one parallel an then series to the amp
You absolutely can!
I have a DVC 2 ohm sub rated for 500 watts RMS. I have an amplifier that can do 600 watts RMS @ 4 ohms, and 1200 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. I would like to wire this to have the lowest amp draw on the electrical. Would wiring this at 1 ohm, with the gain turned down to match the 500 watts needed, draw less amperage on my electrical system than wiring at 4 ohms?
That would actually be an interesting test. What specific amplifier do you have? I'm guessing it's a class D? What's the model?
Soundstream TN1.1200D - Older model with the fuses, not the updated without the fuses(those are junk). I've seen it dynoed on Sonic Electronix channel, so I know it will do the power. Sub is a Sundown SD3-10.
What would be the best way to wire this combo 2 duel voicecoil 4ohm 10 inch subs 600 RMS with a 1200W Mono block peak power 1ohm 1600w, RMS 1ohm-1200, 2ohm-800w, 4ohm-500w
1 ohm…..if subs are 600 RMS each……2 if both subs add up to 600 RMS
Dear, Should I fix Subwoofer always mono channel of mixer????
What is the important Mono channel of the mixer????? How can we use mono channels???
James.... I'm sorry it takes me a few times to figure things out like this. I was never good with these laws.
My question, I have a Chevy volt. It's not a normal car you would expect to build a system into. It's a hatchback 4 door car. Plenty of room to get some insane bump in. I'm a bass head. I need clean bass. My mids and highs are great but lacking bass. I see a sweet deal on 2 Alpine type r 12"s dvc. 2ohm with 600w rms. I was leaning towards a bandpass box. Single 12" sub. But now I'm lost. I don't want to break any DB records but I do want bass that will hurt your insides the louder it gets without distortion. Where do I start?
Just wanted to add I never bought anything for this car yet. Still searching for the right setup.
And I will definitely keep going back to watch your videos again. There's so much useful info there. Thank you for going out of your way to help us idiots. 🤦😁
You probably don't cover all questions so it makes it hard when one comes around those types of problems.
My problem is I have 2 6 ohm dvc 1000 rms audiobahn alum12q's. Yeah, I know they were what Noah used on the arc.... which would be the perfect amp?
OLD AF lolol, 6 ohm woofers come with strings attached. So two DVC 6 ohm woofers wire to 6 ohm load in series/parallel or a 1.5 ohm load in parallel. Go for parallel and get a 1 ohm amplifier. If they're 1000W RMS each (2,000W RMS combined), get an amplifier that has a range of 1800-2400WRMS @ 1 ohm. But remember, the half ohm will cause a decrease in power. So an amp that does 2000w at 1 ohm will do about 1500w at 1.5 ohm.
What kind of amp should I get 2 1,500 watts 2 ohms subs
I got a 5 channel pioneer d9705. The sub channel is hooked up to 2 12's thin enclosures. It sounds good but is that enough power?
That depends on the subwoofer model.

I have a question that I never hear discussed. If I have a stereo amp that support 4 ohm but can't be bridged and a DVC 4 ohm sub, can I connect one channel to one VC and the other channel to the other VC? That would seem reasonable since each VC is separate and would allow me to use both channels on the amp to better power the sub, but I never hear that discussed.
It just makes no sense
@@ericthegeneric1611 Wow, it's been so long since i posed the question that I forgot what I asked. Let me rephrase my question. I have a stereo power amp that only supports down to 4 ohm loads on each channel and can't be bridged. I also have a dual voice coil 4 ohm sub. It appears that I have three options to connect the two together, 1) Use one channel from the amp and only connect one voice coil, 2) bridge the two voice coils on the sub together and still use on channel on the amp to drive it, or 3) connect each voice coil to a channel on the stereo amplifier. Out of the options, it seems that option 3 would best utilize the power capabilities of the stereo amplifier as long as i make sure I keep the positive and negative connects from the power amp correctly oriented, no?
@@midlander3760 is the amp monoblock and what kind of class. A/B or D. You know what, send me the model number of the amp so I can look it up and study it. From there I'll help you better.
@@ericthegeneric1611 The amp is actually an old home stereo receiver that I was going to use to power a passive sub for home use, so that's why I say the receiver can't be bridged. Based on that, I only have the option of using one channel of the receiver or using both channels to each voice coil of a dual-voice coil sub, which would seem to be a better use of the receiver's power. From what I have read elsewhere, that should work just find as long as I hookup the positive and negative terminals to each voice coil correctly so that the two receiver channels don't fight against each other when powering the voice coils.
@@midlander3760 If the sub you have has a 4 ohm impedance and it's a DVC and your stereo amp has a 4 ohm load then you can wire your sub Series which will put your sub on 8 ohms which is more safer for me. But let me study your way of wiring each to its own VC.
Hey will I be fine if I connect a kicker l7 750w rms to a Skar amp thats 800w rms?
Depends on the impedance of the woofer (2 ohm or 4 ohm) and what impedance's the amplifier can be wired to. What is the exact model of the amplifier?
Quality Mobile Video skar 1200.1d the sub is 2 ohms and the amp is 800w rms at 2 ohms
Do I need to match my amplifier rms with the subwoofer rms. Or just make sure that the peak power of the amp matches the peak power of the sub. That it really. My comp 10 runs 150 rms/300 watt max power. And im basically needing to figure that out before I waste 300 dollars.
RMS to RMS at your running impedance.
@@Qualitymobilevideo it runs a svc at 4 ohms. How do you figure out the amps rms at 4 ohms. Is it the general power rating or rms. Or how do you find out the amps rms if it isn't labeled on the product description or isn't just the general power rating. This is super confusing for no reason lmao
Quick question. I have 2 12’s , they are 700 rms dual 4ohm vc what kind of amp can i use?
Are they 700 RMS combined or each?
Actually they are 1000 w peak power each sub but i wanna find out whats the rms ? And what amp i can use
So is there any way to use 2 ohms amp to a 4ohm sub
You'll have no issue using a 4-ohm sub with an amp that is capable of driving a 2-ohm load. You just will get the 4-ohm output of the amp.
What's better 1000 watt California or 2500 watt power acoustik on a single Orion 12 subwoofer?
Depends on the rest of the specs, the information you provided is vague. I need to know the RMS ratings and impedance ratings of both the sub and the amplifiers, as well as whether the sub is a DVC or SVC, 2 ohm or 4 ohm
That intro was 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤌...
This shit is rocket science to me, damn..
I have 2 300w 4ohm subs and a 1000w 2ohm amp (500w at 4 ohms) but my box has 2 terminals how do I wire it up?
Wdym about box? Is is your amp or your subs?
What amp do you recommend for 2 dvc 900w rms each. 4 ohms
You're gonna need something powerful for two subs that combine for 1800W RMS! I'd recommend wiring to 1 ohm. Here are some suggestions:

Hai sir,
I have bought pioneer GM-D9701 AMPLIFIER
WHAT TYPE OF WOOFERS SHOULD I USE
MY IDEA IS PIONEER TS-W3003D4 SUB 2 TO CONNECT WITH THE PARALLEL SERIES I THOUGHT SIR
I NEED SOME GUIDANCE FROM YOU
What Sbuwoofer you go with?
I got a GM-8701 with 2 TS-SW3002 subwoofers.
Thought about getting the 9701 and hooking it up to them?
What about running two 2 ohm DVC subs that add up to 400 watts RMS on a 500 watt at 2 ohm amp? Will this damage the subs??
Nope that's ideal! You want headroom on your amplifier.
@@Qualitymobilevideo Also, when I use ohms law to solve for the output voltage to set my gain, I get 28.28V (sqrt(400x2)). Should I divide this voltage by the amps efficiency and set my gain to that voltage or assume 100% efficient and set my amp gain to 28.28?
