Thread: RE XXX Subs Amp Strapping Howto? 1Ohm?

Ebay Has some cheep Capasitors

he's saying you can wire each sub in series, then wire the two subs in parallel to get 2 ohms.

I'm saying you can run each sub wired to 1 ohm and put ONE sub on ONE amp to get 1250 watts per sub.

In this instance you would need one amp per sub. But if you're talking about running two amps anyways, it shouldn't be a bit deal.

btw - why do you need this much power, are you competing with it or is it essentially just a penis extension?

I have no need for the penis extension.
Im looking at competing in Junior sound offs and for a show car basiclly I want it all.
Im a hobbiest/Perfectionist I like the best.
Also My Car Plates are 0SENSE So I like to keep the theme going

Plus. I have 1600W RMS Subs why would I run one Amp to two giving them half power, Why wouldnt I just have one sub one amp. Thats for your help Red much apprecated. Why do you need a computer in your car is it a breast enlargment lol, So shall I just split my mono RCA to each amp and sett the gains and settings the same

for $200 you could buy a nice optima or a nice stinger or kinetic battery that would be a lot more beneficial.

And it wouldn't look like a cheap POS either.

Yeh mabey. I dont quite get the point of a extra battery does it stop lights from dimming Stiffining your electrical system? or just longer run time.

that's good - it was all in jest, but you seemed to have gotten that!

Sweet! welcome to the competition world! be careful, because it WILL suck you in.

If that's the case, why are you looking for bling? General rule of thumb, if it blings, it's usually 100% crap.

Why do you need a computer in your car is it a breast enlargment lol,

check my sig, I compete on a national level and I'm sponsored...you actually can't even see my PC in my install. You don't know I have one until you see windows booting on the screen. In fact, you won't even know I have a system till you sit in the car and hear it or I pop the back hatch door.

I can't stand to see installs where the owner is going for nothing more than to impress people. Most of the time, if someone isn't competing with their system and they are running that much power, they are doing it only for the attention. That's why I asked if you planned on competing.

So shall I just split my mono RCA to each amp and sett the gains and settings the same

mono rca - meaning you're coming straight out of the mobo onboard sound or out of a 1/8" phono to RCA?

on another note, most amplifiers, when they are only running in a mono fashion, they only take signal from the left input anyways. If your amp is capable, which I would think it is since it's linkable, you can run the rcas into one amp then run from the output of the first amp to the input on the second amp.

Hope that helps some!

Cos Blings awsome, you calling my 20" TSW Kalamis crap they are the **** lol

I run USB Soundblaster Live to a Fusion 8v Line driver that splits FRONT REAR AND SUB im thinking to split the sub to 2 and running to both amps

So 3 amps in total CA2000D x2 and my Calber 4channel.
