sub wiring help

[jdgreenberg]

Ok audio pros need help tuning my sound system. It is what it is and I cant buy new stuff so Im going to work with what I got.

So what I got is a power akoustic BAMF 2600/2 amp for 2 shallow mount Audiobahn AMW120H (12" 4ohm dvc) I basically need to know the best way to wire these. right now the box is a Ford F-250/ F-350 Supercrew Cab 99-07 Dual BTS Subwoofer Box with dual wiring ports/split box.

so whats the best way to wire this setup? single voice channel, parallel 2 ohm load , drill a hole and connect the speakers and bridge the amp?

To many choices need guidance.
thanks

I'd run them both individually to the amp, then bridge the amp and make it a 1 ohm stable load....I had two jbl gt 12s wired in 1 ohm stable on a 1000 watt amo in my Nissan altima and they hit HARD

Mine were DVC SUBS also...but that shouldn't make that big of a difference.

I was looking at different options like that but I dont think that will safely work with my setup. the amp is only 2 ohm stable. Ive been reading that if you only use one voice coil you loose much of the subs capablity.

What is the amp stable at if it's bridged mono?

Wire it up like this

[jdgreenberg]

Sweet!

You rock. Ive been using a different website and the setup they had produce really poor sound and I know the setup is cabale of much more. This looks like the ticket!

[Eric]

Going by the specs you posted, wiring your setup like that will get the most power from your amp

[jdgreenberg]

yeah that looks way better than the silly shenigans I tried first! Ill get this wired up hopefully tomorrow and have a report. well that is if I get my new rca cables in, the ones from the wiring kit were bad
