20 Most Recent AudioBahn ALUM12 Car Subwoofer Questions & Answers

yes you can

I don't know this speaker exactly but most 12s need a minimum of 1 cubic foot if not 1.25.

It calls...damage of voice coil. reason can be dust particles in space between voice coil and magnet or copper wire on voice coil got lose.

Hello. You can call Sound Repair at 321-690-0808 for estimate.

This is a 6 ohm speaker, which should be wired to a 6 ohm outlet, but 4 ohm outlet is working, so allow it to stay like that. If you try to connect to 2 or 1 ohm outlet, the performance will actually worsen. In electrical theory, maximum power is transferred to a load (speaker) when the impedance is a match. You already have a mis-match of 6 to 4 ohm, but it is close enough. Try not to go farther away from maximum power transfer. Your speaker will draw too much current on a 1 or 2 ohm outlet and you may end up blowing fuses, too.

SOUND Q SERIES
DUAL 6-OHM CONFIGURATION
Accommodating the rising trend of triple-subwoofer applications, Audiobahn’s Sound Q subwoofers come in dual 6-ohm configurations. This allows three Sound Q subwoofers to be wired in a 1- or 4-ohm operation. You now have the option to use a wider range of amplifiers to fit the needs of your specific application.

MULTI-CONNECT LUG LOCK TERMINALS
Audiobahn’s patented Multi-Connect Lug Lock Terminals offer increased versatility in wiring multiple subwoofers to an amplifier or to another voice coil. Multi-connect terminals allow you to use single wire connections in each terminal rather than combining multiple wires into one terminal. This feature allows you to use a full 8-gauge wire in each terminal.

The Link below should answer all your questions.
Also remember to try to keep the lengths of the jumpers the same. I would make all the connections inside the box then use the teminal block of the box to connect to the amp.
Keep in mind that you can only get 1 Ohm if you use 3 woofers.
Your configuration allows for 1.5 Ohm

Good Luck

did you try on screwing one?
maybe u cause a vacuum effect if you seal that box so well its a good thing .but check to see if they work oput of box 1st.if they are damage the try this spkr repair site.

You have to wire it in 'Bridge Mode'. https://www.google.com/search?q=audiobahn+a2301Q+connect+2+subs%2C+2+speakers

The amplifier is only stable to 2 ohms.
Assuming the cubs are dual 4 ohm voicecoils - a 2 ohm load with 2 subs is not possible.
You can only wire up 1 dual 4 ohm voicecoil sub (both positives to amp... and both negatives to amp) to get a 2 ohm mono load.

Hello William Novelli, if it would be compatible, but you should control the order of the connections, they can vary I send you the link to download the manuals of both models and compare the connections, if you find it complex, consult a specialized technical service I hope you find it useful Regards Franco Dosil Hola William Novelli, si seria compatible, pero deberas controlar el orden de las conexiones, pueden variar Te envio el link paravque descargues los manuales de ambos modelos y compares los conexionados, si te resulta complejo, consulta con un servicio tecnico especializado Espero te resulte util Saludos Franco Dosil https://manualmachine.com/audiobahn/aeq7/18414-user-manual/ https://manualmachine.com/audiobahn/aeq8/18268-user-manual/ https://www.manualslib.com/manual/211695/Audiobahn-Aeq6q.html

as your sub is only rated to 400w rms simply connect the sub to either a or b channel outputs you may wish to use an rca splitter before the amp to feed both left and right audio channels into a single channel on the amp. WARNING connecting both channels on the amp to the sub will overload the sub and possibly blow it up so i highly recommend not doing so.

i was not able to locate a manual but i did find some interesting information that hopefully may help, The AudioBahn AW1000X Car Subwoofer Features: dual 4-ohm voice coils, non-pressed pulp cone, huge foam surround, frequency response 23-500 Hz, power range 50-600 watts RMS (300 watts per coil), peak power handling 1,200 watts, sensitivity 91.1 dB, top-mount depth 5-1/4" ,sealed box volume: 0.4-.95 cubic feet, ported box volume: 1.632 cubic feet.

i'd need more info but from what you've stated, sorry to break it to you but it sounds likely you've incorrectly wired you speakers and blown your amp. this will prove no doubt an expensive mistake and learning exercise.

to drop the amp load to 1 ohm you need to divide the output signal path and the best way is by wiring a second woofer in parallel as seen in the ideal diagram attached this has the desired effect of doubling the volume . since 2 ohm divided by 2 is 1 ohm load connected to your amp. so the short answer is no you can't do that with a single woofer

Generally there are 2 parts to this problem part 1 input signal as these woofers are just subs remember to give them a low line in signal before the amp (see diagram) i like to use rca low pass crossover filters from harrison labs (see link) part 2 is the wiring configuration of the 2 woofers by wiring them in parallel as shown in the diagram you reduce them to a 2 ohm load for your 2 ohm amp meaning you'll get max loudness and efficiency Harrison Labs FMOD Inline Crossover Pair 100 Hz Low Pass RCA Shipping is...

unfortunately if you only have the one woofer there isn't really any safe way to do so but if you had a pair of woofers you could in theory wire them in parallel thus creating only a 3 ohm load but your amp must be able to work at such low ohms otherwise you WILL blow up your amp.
