New setup

[Juslivin 1]

Im getting a new setup. 2 Fi Bl 15s and a 3000D. I plan on rewiring everything, doing the big 3, etc. Would i get dual 2 or dual 1 ohm? How would i wire this for both performance and daily use, IE: how many ohms stable and such. What options would i want on the subs, such as cooling, universal.

Thanks,

Drake

2ohm sub, and wire the subs to 1ohm on the saz 3000D

Get D1 ohm for a total load of 1 ohm on the amp. Get all the options except SPL.

Wait lol. So dual 1 or 2 ohm subs? Just got both answers.

He is getting 2, not 1.

o aiight

Mind explaining how i would wire (2) D1 ohm subs to my 3000D at 1 ohm load? I tried looking on the rockford fosgate thing but i didn't have 1 ohm.

Wire each sub in series. Each sub will be at .5 ohm, combined It will be a 1 ohm.

Two dual 1 ohm subs. wire each subs coils in series so you have two 2 ohms loads, wire those in parallel to give you one 1 ohm load

Fritos is right, and you're incorrect.

Wiring in series, you ADD up the impedance of the coils. Wiring in parallel you divide the impedance..

So he would wire the coils on each sub in series for two 2ohm subs, then wire each sub in parallel for a final 1ohm load on the amplifier.

You really shouldn't give out information if you're giving out false information man. Not trying to be a prick, but it can easily confuse n00bs to the audio scene.

Already had 2 pieces of confusing info in this topic. Don't rush guys, there's no race to who posts to help the most.

Lol thanks guy i got it now.

Damn boy, calm down there, so I mix up the terms. I still know the numbers. Ive always mixed up series and parallel, I have for years now. I cant relate the terms to what whey do. Normally all I say is which way to wire it and not waste my time with the idiotic names for them. You got your way buddy, I won't say series or parallel on here anymore.

First of all, I'm not a boy. I'm a goddamn man.

Second of all, if you're going to be giving out information, you need to make damn sure you're giving out CORRECT information. Mixing up series and parallel, no matter how harmless it seems, could cause someone to order the wrong things, or mis-wire something and fudge up both their subs and their amps.

Didn't I read that you work at a car audio shop? And you still don't know your terms? I feel bad for your boss.

Did you read any of my post? Yes I mix up the terms, but I know the numbers. I cant correlate a number and a word that have no connection to each other.

yall need to chill out.....

put it to bed you both made your points.

I just personally think if you're going to spread info around, that you have the correct terms down. Especially if you work at a car audio shop. Sheesh.

[pear_b 1]

i love always seeing someone ask "wiring this sub to get 1ohm what sub to get?" and theres always atleast someone to recommend the wrong sub, ive done it before but theres always someone to do it.

[jonbearsmt 919]

i find that links to pics explaining is the best way to show someone else.

[pear_b 1]

call me a noob but i just use the RF wiring diagrams lol

Hey that works.

the12volt.com has good stuff too.
