Amp questions

[Thewes 2]

I've made a couple of these threads but I recently picked up 2 Rockford T1500's for a steal. Now I'm definately close to purchasing 2 15 BL's and just curious what the experts have to say on this. I'm thinking since they are RF's they are going to be rated a bit higher rms, so how will that go along with the BL's? Also, what reccomendations do you have when it comes to wiring these? It says they arent bridgable, but can I still make this work? Pretty clueless when it comes to amps/wiring and all that. Thanks for all your help guys.

Which BL's do you have? Dual 1 or Dual 2?

The speaker outputs you see on your amp are internally paralleled. It is a mono amp and the two sets of terminals are there to make your wiring job easier.

Since you have two amps, you could put one amp on each sub.

- If they're DVC2, you can wire each sub to one ohm and present each sub with 1500w from each amp.

- If they're DVC1, you can wire each sub to two ohms and present each sub with 1000w from each amp.

Amps should be fine...

Thanks

Sorry if I wasnt clear, I have not purchased the subs yet, want to make sure exactly what to get and whats compatible and what not first. So I would chose DVC2 for the subs? Sorry again, like I said Im gaining a majority of my knowledge off these forums. Thanks.

If you want the most from the amps, than yes, DVC2 is what you want.

Exactly, if you plan on running 1 amp per subwoofer you need to choose the dual 2ohm option and wire the coils in parallel for a final 1ohm nominal load per amp.

Let us know if you need anymore help!

Thanks!

Thanks again guys that pretty much sums it all up. One last question thats pretty much unanswerable because it depends on alot of things, but do you think 1500 to each sub is decent enough so they slam? I know alot depends on the box, etc, but just out of curiousity. Again, I really do appreciate the help over here at these forums, really blows everything else out of the water.

Considering RMS is 1kW, 1.5kW should be sufficient to get them moving.
