Quick questions,

[Juslivin 1]

Okay so i am getting a new system and i have few questions.

1. Why would i want 2 ohm subs over 1 ohm?

2. If i run 2 Subs to a mono amp what ohm do i want the subs to be?

3. Does everyone use both voice coils of subs? Whats the difference between using 1 and 2 coils.

Thanks,

Drake

1. Depends on your amp.

2. ^^^

3. Running one coil = dead subwoofer

Running two coils = bass!

You match the impedence of the subs to the amplifier. If a sub has two voice coils, there are very few instances where you would want to only use one. Plan on using any and all of the voice coils a sub has.

[johnecon2001 82]

You must use both voice coils. The different ohms are to allow you to wire the subs to a certain final impedance that your amplifier is stable too.

Okay, so i am planning on getting 2 FI bl 15's and a SAE-1200D. Is this enough to power them? I want very loud low bass. Do i get the 1 ohm or 2 ohm subs? Do i need more than the stock battery and alternator to run the SAE-1200D? I am planning on using a 2 farad capacitor and doing the Big 3. Will my lights dim or will i not know that until i try it?

Thanks again,

Don't Evereverevereverevereverevereverevereverevereverevereverevereverever Use A Cap. Ever....Ever.

i ran a saz 3000d on my 2 15 bl's

Okay, so don't use a cap but will a SAE-1200D be enough power or should i go with the 3000D? Will i need a new alternator/battery with the 3000D?

Thanks,

Drake

With what you want, I would get two fully loaded BL's and the 3000D. Look into upgrading your main battery and also consider a secondary cell.

[johnecon2001 82]

More like consider a new alternator along with two cells.

[jonbearsmt 919]

i went with three and a h/o to start with... i went thru a few alts, and my amp ran hot....

how i have 5 agm cells and a h/o

i have some where like 250 amp hours now...

amp runs cooler, no problems at all
