Wiring My BL

[JoshM20 0]

Hey guys,

I am gonna wire up my 1 15" BL It is a D1 and I am wondering If I should wire it in series at 2 ohms or parallel to .5 ohms... It is gonna be hooked up to a Sundown 1200D... I am wiring it right now So quick advice would be much appreciated... thx

2ohms.. IMO you should have bought another vc option

2 ohms

No I have 2 15" BL's... I am just waiting to get the box for 2 of them so I am gonna put only 1 in now

[NB50 206]

Your going to run 2 on one 1200D?

[jonbearsmt 919]

in that case rock on at 2 ohms....... are you gonna use the same amp for the 2 15s later?

Im either gonna strap 2 1200's or get a 3000 Maybe 2 1500's strapped... Not sure yet... Someone wants to buy my amp from me lol

Yea Rob, did a Collab with your design and just made it a little larger... Still tuned to 34Hz though

I think it came out pretty well, The inside is pretty sloppy, but I built this in 30 degree weather with 3 jackets on, so I think It came out pretty well haha!

looks good

Yea that port looks pretty awful haha. When I got the pieces cut, they guy cut that piece about a lil over an 1/8th short.. So I made a cut to fit over it, I will glue it and then I am goin to put another baffle on it. So it will look set in.. Then I will hit it up with the roundover... =)

[RobClay 20]

a front face baffle to cover all that?

Yea, I will just cut out the port and mount it on. Should look pretty good when I do it... Hopefully when It warms up some!

SAE-1200's aren't strapable.

According to Jacob, they are.

How do you plan on wiring two D1 ohm subs to a pair of strapped amps?

I will either gain match or I will upgrade my amp. Like I said someone is wanting to buy it, and I have a few options open... Honestly If I ran them Strapped I would probably upgrade the subs to a BTL... more than like likely I will just upgrade the amp

[RobClay 20]

id get a 3000D so you can get a 1ohm load on the amp giving them bl's about 1500watts

Im pretty sure i read where you could with a max link. im unsure on that though but it was my plan when i get another bl and 1200d down the road.

That is correct .. you Can strap them with a Max-link .... And Rob yes That is the Plan, I was just in a hurry earlier. I suppose I should have said Matched

Okay guys, be smartasses and get technical on me.

lol, nah, I didn't think they could either, but I asked Jacob if there was a way. I should just bite the bullet and get a 3000... That way if I decide to switch out my gear to my explorer I would have it already... I was actually thinking of trying to wait and see how the 2000 turns out.

[RobClay 20]

either one you would go with whether the 2000 or 3000 it would be good

I thought I read somewhere that you had your BL's wired down to .5 Ohm. Maybe I was thinkin of someone else..
