Welcome to the IHoP

Pssst, Sean has already bought them.

It's cool. It just seemed like an easy solution. The whole Home audio amp thing is driving me nuts. It's a whole new ball-field. I think I might just stick with car audio. So much less confusing to me.

Nephew seems to have tore his knee completely open...noice..

Ohms is resistance, you need to measure impedance albeit in this case they should be close enough.

Was Kent's explanation enough?

What amp is it? Depending you may want to be conservative on the volts if you have to use a DMM.

yeah Kent's explanation helped. I just did parallel instead of series. that's what working hungover gets you...

it's a JBL GTO 601.1 I told my buddy to just turn the gains down about halfway where they're at now until I can get them wired right. He doesn't need to be driving around at 0.5 ohms

if the maw 10s are d2 subs, and you wired them like in the first pic (parallel, all teh positives together, and all teh megatives together) you are indeed at .5ohm.

you need to series each sub, positive from one coil to the negative of the other and the remaining positive and negative go to the amp,(each sub) and you'll have your 2 ohm final load.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

alright thanks alot for the help guys

If my intentions were to just play cd music would I still need a pre-amp. I think the behringer dcx-2496 would be my processor of choice.

They aren't the best for being near walls and that means ceilings as well.

That JBL will do power so if you do math right and have everything in a decent box, setting your gains with the DMM won't kill anything. Make sure that he isn't dumb about anything though...and that amp won't like .5ohm

I would definitely run a preamp with a DCX unit, that thing loves a hot input signal.

the garage didn't finish the fiero exhaust in time for me to drive it. but as soon as the exhaust is finished and i get some oil in the a/c lines it'll be driveable

awesome matt!

Any suggestions for a pre-amp... I take it my reciever wouldn't do the trick.

Hmmm, anyone ever seen a Cadillac autocrossed?

I think the Schwartz '83 has been autocrossed

And was fast as hell, he sold it for a dime on Ebay last year as well. I think he told me $6k.

I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't at least in Rochester, he normally comes out to the MN shows.

damn that's cheap for that car

i need to find old school amplification goodness. i'm still uncertain on what i want in the fiero, i think i'm just going to look until i find what i want then buy it. i would LOVE to find some black art series though

[vladd 26]

ok did this not just go for WAY too cheap?

Actually I would have been more pissed off at the non-insured shipping.

Thanks Kent

next step is window tint, anyone know a rough guess for for cost of tint? Never done it or priced it before.

~$175-$200 for the back three here (3M tint).

Nice pimp ride!

The MAW-10s are dual 4 ohm.

[Acidburn 10]

this thing was funky

Depends on whether or not it has line level outputs. On some, you can bypass the internal amplifier.

I'd probably lurk on Audiogon for preamps, that's how I ended up finding mine.

Straight six with a roots style blower on the side, interesting...
