how to wire my system?

Question

I am buyin 2 kicker s15l7d4's and a hifonics bxi2006d amp. i am planning on wiring it up so that there is a one ohm load. i know how to do this because i looked a the rockfordfosgate website. what my question is is would it be noticable if lets say i got 2 amps and wired up the subs at a 2 or 4 ohm load. they are goin to be in a pretty big vented box. thanks

Answer 1

For a cleaner, more reliable system, it's best to run at higher imepances than lower.

You'd be better off with one amp that's 2000 watts RMS @ 4 ohm and wire the subs like so http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL-SERIES.jpg

or

you can get two amps that are 1000 watts RMS @ 2 ohms and wire each sub to each amp like so http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/SINGLE-PARALLEL.jpg

The first option would cause the amp to run cooler, sound better and last longer but it will be more expensive. That's the trade off.

Answer 2

it would be noticeable if the 2 amps combined power is more than the 1 amps power at 1 ohm
