ok i see all these people talkin about how they wire their stuff at .5 ohms. how does that work? i mean like on amps, the ohms are usually 4, 2, n 1. well im askin this because right now i got 1 dvc ssd 12" (bp n flatwound) with a hifonics amp powering 1200rms watts at 1ohm. i was thinking of getting another ssd, so that mean i would get an amp to power 2400rms watts. i looked at some of the wiring configurations on kicker n 12voltz website n it shows that i can only have them at 2 ohms or .5 ohms. at 2 ohms the amp i wanna get is kinda really outta the way money wise because at 1ohm it is a lot more than wat i need. so yea im just wondering how i could achieve the .5 ohm with the set-up of 2 ssds if an amp has 4,2, or 1 ohm rating.

wait what? i dont understand what your sayin?

then wat do you recommend i get?

right now i have 1 12" ssd fully powered in a ported box. it is 16X22X14. it sounds good and i listen to almost everything from rap to techno. I was wondering if it would be better to switch to a sealed box? i mean one advantage would be less used space. and which direction should i face the box also...

o ok. i didnt know u were talkin about the box bracing...

i got 1 12" ssd in a ported box and I wanted to screw the amp onto the box, is that gonna cause any problems?

yeah, it's not recommended, but if you have to do it, you can If you do it, try and have the amp mounted over a brace, where vibrations should be minimal. whats the brace?

somebody told me that the sub mite vibrate n move components inside of the amp...

I read around and heard that scott used to own RE audio and that FI and RE are about the same thing. How is that now? How do the subs from scott, FI, now vs RE Audio, now compare? some say that RE is about the same but less expensive...

thanks for the clarification

im sorry, newbie under my name, what does B&M and DIY stand for?

someone told u a tad bit of a fib... i wouldnt give them more than 1400 watts unless they had the flatwoud coil... so how much more of 1400 watt would i get if i were to ge tthe flatwound?

i saw somewhere someone said they got a 15 btl pushin a little ova 3000rms. how is that when the specs say 2000rms?

i got one SSD 12" dual 2 ohms, coppercoil and bp power, 130 amp alternator, 4 awg wires, i already got an amp for it the hifonic brutus class d 1200 rms watt. some are saying that you can push 2000+ watts outta these subs. i havent installed the amp and sub yet, i just got another amp and components installed right now.

how am i suppose to know how much power i can give it? i got all the options added for the sub when i ordered it.

what size of wires do ppl use for the 12" ssd?

what about the power wire to the amp? i read that i should do the "big three upgrade". what sizes are those? 2 or 4 right?

for example i got 1 ssd 12" DVC all options (supposedly 1200rms)... powered by a hifonic brutus d-class (1200rms). ima wire it for a 1 ohm load. ima do the "big three", and i got a high output alternator installed (130amps). so what do you think i will be pushing? o n plz excuse my language i am a newbie at this lol. im tryin my best to make it sound technical.
