Light a big fire and do me a favor go throw it in! I'm just kidding for that sub you want like a jbl bp 600.1 or an mtx 600.1 or a kicker 600.1 something along those lines. |

well dual 2+4ohms gives you the option to wire your subs AT DIFFERENT IMPEDENCE'S THE LOWER THE IMPEDENCE THE LESS RESISTENCE ON YOUR AMP. OK SO IF YOU HAVE A UNREGULATED POWER SUPPLY THAT PUTS OUT 500 WATTS AT 4OHMS THEN AT 2OHMS IT WILL PUT OUT 1000 WATTS. DUAL 4OHM SUBS CAN BE WIRED AT 4OHMS IN A SERIES OR 1OHM IN PARELLEL BUT NOT ALL AMPS ARE 1 OHM STABLE SO YOU HAVE TO BE CARFUL WITH THAT. DUAL 2 OHM SUBS CAN BE WIRED AT 2OHMS IN A SERIES OR AT .5 OHMS PARRELEL BUT ALMOST ALL AMPS ARE NOT STABLE MONO AT .5OHMS. THESE #'S i HAVE POSTED APPLY TO A DUAL SUB SET-UP LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE. iF i WERE YOU I WOULD GET A KICKER 1200.1, OR A jbl 1200.1 AND GET THE DUAL 2OHM VERSIONS BUT IF YOU ALREADY GOT THEM THERE PROB ISNT MUCH YOU CAN DO UNLESS YOU CAN RETURN THEM. SORRY FOR THE CAPS I HIT IT BY ACCIDENT AND BY THE TIME I REALIZED IT I DIDNT FEEL LIKE GOING BACK AND RETYPING THE WHOLE THING. |
