hey i got 2 audiobahn 550 RMS subs and one 2 channel audiobahn amp (1500 RMS) i was wondering what the best way to wire the amp to the subs is to get the loudest sound out of my subs and i dont know much about OHMS and how to make amps into mono amps and stuff so if someone knows the best way to get full power off of my stereo i would really appericiate it if there is a better way
Thanks

-Richard

P.S my amp stats are:

4 OHM Stereo - 250 X 2
2 OHM Stereo - 500 X 2
1 OHM Stereo - 750 X 2
4 OHM Mono - 500 x 1
2 OHM Mono - 1000 X 1

Wire your subs in parralell to give to a 2 ohm load, and bridge your amp to 1ch mono.
Most importantly, put the subs in a GOOD box.

 

umm can u explain to me how i would hook up a parellel 2 ohm load
Thanks

take the negative end of one sub and wire it up to the postive of your second sub. Nw, think of your two subs as ONE - you've got one open positive post, and one open negative post. Hook these posts up to your amp.

 

Thanks alot for all your help just to clear one more thing to make my amp into a mono channel 1 channel amp i just take 1 wire from my postive side and one wire from my negitive side ?

 

If that what it says in the manual, some amps have a switch.

 

ok man thansk for all the help i really appericiate it

 

 

Ummm, ilovecables is wrong here......

The way you explained is wiring in SERIES. If you have 4ohm subs and wire it this way you will have 8ohm...not so good.

to wire in Parallel you need to take the + from a sub to the + on the other sub then to the + on the amp. Same with the -.

This way if you have 4ohm subs you will get 2 ohms.

What's the specs on your subs? Single Voicecoil? dual Voicecoil? 4ohm, 2ohm?

 

My bad, guess I haven't had my quota of coffee today to jump start my brain.
