Specs on the amp Model Number: Xm-1652z 165w rms x 2 @ 4 ohms 200w rms x 2 @ 2 ohms 400w rms x 1 @ 4 ohms OK so i have the subs hooked up to the terminals on the box normally (+ to +, - to -) but i bridged it to the amp. Now my question is since i put both the postive wires from each sub directly into the bridge (BTL +) postive on the amp and the same with the negatives, would that be series or parallel? And would it be 2 ohms or 8 ohms, I know it should be 8 ohms on a 2 channel amp thats not 2 ohm stable bridgeable with 2 4 ohm subs and if it is 2 ohms h…

    Hey, I'm new to the world of subs/amps and all this. I am buying a new truck soon, don't have a good sound system, I'm wondering what would be good for someone like me I LOVE bass, absolutely love it. What combination of subs/amps would suffice? And can anyone make a guide on how to set it all up once I get the subs/amp? If you need me to be more descriptive about what I like, I can be. something around 2000 watts(both subs together) would be great. (remember I know nothing about subs except that they produce lovely bass)

    Hey guys, wanted to stop in and say hello. I've been reading and hanging around for some time but hadn't posted. Made an account and this is post 1. Used to have a pair of Infinity Kappa Perfect 12's wired to 1ohm on a kicker zr240, had an old ppi amp running my mb quartz components all in a 94' honda accord 4 door back in high school many years ago (well 12). Since then life and family got in the way. Haven't had any kind of "system" since, got the bug a few months ago to get something again and well...here I am. Love the site and look forward to getting caught back up! -Josh

  20. So I am not really "new" to forums I started out on a different forum and just got tired of all the B.S. over there and went looking for a more informative forum for my car audio needs. Said forum seemed to be more about talking shit about someones set up if they didn't have a certain brand of equipment and not enough helping each other out. Any ways not trying to rant just giving some of my forum exp. I have been watching this forum for awhile now and it seems to be a lot more informative so I am glad to be a new member thanks. I live in Spokane WA. but I was born and raised in Santa Barbara CA. If you would like to know anything else about me just ask
