i just bought a set of digital designs 3512s to upgrade from my new 12.4s i was running the 12.4s at 1 ohm and i need ta know if i can run the 3512s at 1 ohm as well? im tryn to get maximum amps out of my exile 2400.1 to run the 3512s. thx for everyones advice and thoughts.

Where to start with this one... what impedance are the coils on your 3512s? dual 4? dual 2?

ouch... yeah ok whats the lowest your amp can support? 1 ohm? then in that case yes we need to know the imp of the subs

thats my problem i bought them used without paperwork, ive looked online but cant seem ta figure it out , i know they have dual voice coil and i think mike said they were 2 ohm , but i wanted to be sure .was hopin someone else had run them and would know.

they are available in a few configurations i think... so the only way to be sure is to ask the guy you got em from. If you hapen to have a voltmeter around you can find out with it.. set it to impedence then check the voice coils.

use a multi meter and check the posts it will tell you if its 2ohm or 4ohm and if it has 2 sets of connections its a dual voice coil

If these are the ones you bought off of Mike from Castlegar then I am 99% certain that they are dual 4's. Running them parallel/parallel to that amp will yield a 1 ohm load which is perfect. Now, I would be more concerned with an enclosure design now. Is this for competing or daily musical listening?

Currently I am running two 3512's with the E motors (same as yours) and I am powering them with a DD M3 which is 2400 watts at 1 ohm. My enclosure is a 40 hz musical for daily listening and it gets pretty loud. I did a personal best at Andre's at 147.8 DB.

PM me for a great box design.

hopefully you have better luck with this upgrade, I did a swap between my 12.4s and my dads 3512s and didnt gain anything

i now know that they are dual 2ohms im wondering what is the best way to wire em into my exile 2400.1 which is - Class D
- Stable down to 1 ohm
- 24dB crossover
- Subsonic filtering
- 1/0 gauge power and ground connectors
- Fuse size: 200A
- Multi amp strappable
-1600 x 1 @ 2 ohm
- 2400W x 1 @ 1 ohm (mono)
- 4800W x 1 @ 2 ohm (strapped)
-
this is all i could find under specs for the amp.thx again

im thinkin i prolly answered my own question , if the amp is 2 ohm stable n the subs are 2 ohm i would assume i run em at 2 ohms? does that mean that each sub is only getting 800 watts?
