Wiring up two 12" LI

[davidg121 0]

Hey guys heres my situation

as of right now i have a rockford fosgate p5002. Ill be using this for about 2 weeks until i get my SAE-1200d.

Doing some research i have come up with this... please tell me if there is a better way.

I will buy two of the 12" LI 4 ohm DVC's

while i have the p5002 i will wire it like this...

and once i buy the SAE-1200d i will wire it like this....

Please if there is something wrong with this setup please let me know.

Nope, that looks fine to me.

Would there be a benefit of going with 2 2ohm dvcs instead of the 4ohm dvcs?

sounds like a good plan to me

in the first one you are essentially making two 8 ohm subs and wiring them in parallel

the second, you are making two 2 ohm subs and wiring them in parallel

dont do dual 2 ohm, the impedance won't work out to what you need

Not really any benefits, just different options. Like if you had an amp that's final ohm's was 2 ohms then, it would best suit you.

For you application though, just stick with the dual 4's

any idea what wattage id be getting with both the amps per sub?

[patented17 21]

An amp on each subwoofer?

[davidg121 0]

Nope, i mean in each different application. While im using the p5002, and then while using the SAE 1200d

Sorry I'm retarded lol, on the sundown I think each sub would get something like 650-700. I believe it's not really split straight down the middle when you split an amp on multiple subs. I'm still trying to figure this out myself.

[Solid_State13 1]

just look at the RMS ratings of the amps for each ohm load and divide by 2 (like for the rockford, look at the output bridged into 4 ohms, and obviously the sundown at 1 ohm) I think both of those amps are underrated, so maybe a little bit more. so about 250 watts per sub with the rockford and 600 with the sundown

okay, thats what i figured. I just wanted to double check Thanks a lot guys!!!

sundown amps are underrated, so i recommend doing the big 3 on your car, to get a good electrical. i am giving my LI 750rms and it hits soooooooo hard!!!

i ruv it
