Wiring Question

Is there any way to wire (1)dual 1ohm sub to 2 ohms? My buddies selling his RF R500.1 and its only stable at 2 ohms.

Yes there is.

You can wire it in series.

Just take a DMM to check, and show him it is possible. Teach him.

Anytime.

I don't know what your looking for? Or how loud your other systems have been. So that's all about what you like.

[Maddenkid2011 3]

First system

Loudness > Quality....but barely.

About 70/30

Hi guys, Im going to wire my Fi Q12 Dual 1 ohm into single 2 ohms load. What type of jumper should I use and also the gauge size number?

Thanks

[KU40 173]

12 gauge wire.

[Maddenkid2011 3]

What gauge do you suggest for me?

[jcarter1885 995]

10 -14 guage for subwoofers and if you want to do 8 gauge then it will be overkill and require some modifications to the wire.

[Maddenkid2011 3]

Car Audio Wire

Everything I need?

[jcarter1885 995]

Yeah that should be fine, what amp are you using for this kit? Anything under 1200 watts will suffice.

12

Most likely my buddys RF R500.1 (500 @ 2ohms) but my decisions still pending on the amp. Got a suggestion? (budget ride)
