well if you have 2 2ohm subs and your amp is only 4ohm capable.......do the math

[Rathgar]

Hey hows it going im by no means a expert but have built a few systems.Its been my experience that having atleast the rms of both subs added then bought a amp that could do that as a minimun.But i thing having a amp that will push more then what you need by alittle is better. then you dont have too run your gains full up.If i where going too use those subs i would shot for 800-1000.But i also think it will sound just fine with the 550 you where looking at.Youll have too wire your subs in series too get the 4 ohms or youll push the amp too hard.Hope this helps.

thats what i was trying to figure out and you can hook 2 2ohm subs up to a 4 ohm amp

Yes you can use that setup and it will sound pretty good. Is the amp bridgeable??? If it is you will be better off running at one ohm. But you can run them in series or parallel to get 4 ohms if I remember correctly. I can't remember which way is what right now. I'm a little stereo crazy. For some reason I don't have a picture of the other front door. Here's my daily driver..

[xxizzer421xx]

well i want somthing what do you think that set up will get for the DB?

[aggressivellc]

Damn Curve you like Mickey Mouse huh?

[curve]

What kind of vehicle is it.

[curve]

I built that for the wifey and it ended up being mine..

CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 the 10s will have to go under the seat

[xxizzer421xx]

also ext cab

[curve]

Your not going to get a good db out of any down firing box under a seat.. You would probably get mid 130's or so.

[xxizzer421xx]

but itll sound good rite? you will be able to hear it out side the car and make stuff raddle a bit?

[curve]

You will get excellent sound though. Down firing into carpet taks alot of the pressure out.

[curve]

Definitely. Your usiong good stuff so the good sound will be there.

I dont know i have herd a 12 inch firing toward the ground and it had some decent bass to it and wont it sound a bit louder being in a truck cab
?

[EeePee]

Two 2 ohms in series will yield a 4 ohm load.

And you don't want to max out your gains. They need to be set to the output voltage of the device before them. Anything higher than that voltage results in nothing but crap sounding distortion.

If you can't get the first watt right, there's no point in adding any more. Look for high efficiency speakers, and spend your money on QUALITY amplification.

[xxizzer421xx]

So what are you saying though what should i look at? if thats not agood amp

[curve]

Thanks eee pee my brain isn't functioning right tonight. Yes they will be louder in a cad but db can be fooling. I'm just now pressuring a 159.6 with 4 12's a 4 10's. 13000 watts of power.

Rockford makes good amps.
