Take both positive leads to the positive of the amp. Both negatives from the sub to the negative of the amp. Utilize the bridged output connections. This would present a 3 ohm load which would be around 100 watts rms (rough estimate)
4x4 ohm voice coils can be configured to either run @ 1 ohm, 4 ohm or 16 ohm, while the amp needs to be dropped to 2 ohms, no lower, to be most efficient. if a single dvc sup could handle 1200 watts, then hjust run 1, with both coils positive and negative inputs connected to the amps output. if you needed both subs, you would lilely only get 600 watts, by creating a 4 ohm load by running both speakers to the amp positive to 1 ccoil, each speaker, an mjumper cable between the negative of 1sdt clils to positive of 2nd coins, and running both 2nd coil negatives back from both speakers to the amp negative. the 2nd wscenerio will result in less sheer wattwage, but will also provide cleaner power. you need to study ohms law and parallel versus serial wiring to accomplish the 2nd scenerio, or, just get 2 4 ohm single voice coil speakers that can handle 600 watts apiece.
How do u connect a quantiam audeo 4000 monoblock wats with 15s q powers I tryed it but they do not sound da way I though they were going to sound let me no som thing thanks?
Walmart sells a 760 watt 2 ch amp.....It works well with these type of subs. Or any amp rated @ 150 watts per channel RMS. Start with the low pass filter on and with it hooked up and playing raise amp level until distortion can be heard through subs...then back off a bit...Your level is now set.
What is happening is that your amp can deliver 1500 Watts at a given impedance. The Sub PROBABLY is a higher impedance. Your amp runs out of voltage due to the speaker impedance, hence it "flat tops" or clips.
You will probably find the sub is 8 ohms and your amp might deliver 1500 Watts on a 2 ohm system (this is "specsmanship" to sell their product... more is better thing...
If your amp was as above, the max voltage output would be the same before clipping but with the resistance 4 times, the current is only one fourth that which would deliver 1500 Watts. So you would only get 1500/4 Watts into the speaker or about 375 Watts.
comet 200? its a 2 pill. 125 watts seems right. The amp should be run straight to the battery always. you can run the radio, but that will not get you more power although it will help with engine noise in your radio. You could be starving the amp if its not run to the battery, but you won't see much more wattage.
Also your dead key will effect your power output. Should have some where around a 2 watt dead key.
This leads me to my next point.
What kind of meter are you using? if its a cheapo pyramid or workman, it may only read average watts. and it will only show you your dead key. It will not show you audio swing. you need a meter that can read peak watts to see your true swing.
According to Audiobahn's specifications, the amp is stable at 1ohm, either with the channels driven separately or in bridged mode. With the channels driven separately, the rated output is 1,200 watts at 1 ohm. In bridged mode, the rated output is 2,400 watts.
You'll need an absolute minimum of 2gauge power and ground, and preferably 1/0gauge and a really good alternator to provide enough current for the beast.
Did it stopped working ?
check your main fuse line under the hood ?
you should have one ! replace it ?
know if it works fine out what ohms is your amp best plays at!
and connect the correct woofer ohms ..
for that power at the most two 8 inch woofers or one 12 ich thats pushing it!
first whats the range in terms of WATTS that your 12" sub can handle in 4 OHMS ? second , lets check the AMP , POWER ACOUSTIK 1800 WATTS , Now thats a lot of power to drive a single 12" sub speaker . your amp is 1800 watts , per channel is around 500 watts , if BRIDGE thats around 1600 watts rms for ONE channel , if your sub can handle that kind of wattage fine , but it will not blow the amp , what it does is shuts down , some kind of protection mode , it will come back on after a minute or so. I suggest to use one channel in stereo mode , or purchase another sub to use the other channel. i hope this helps AJ
