    Is that amp just for the sub or are you running components also. If it is just for the sub I would bridge channels 1&2 to one voice coil and 3&4 to the other voice coil. That is the way you would get the most output of that amp with that sub.
  2. Take some steps back and really plan this because your all over the place (just because you have to money for it now doesnt mean you should blow it). How much trunk space do you have to work with, give us max dimensions of trunk room if you cant figure it out. Dual 1 ohm Subwoofer Wiring: Parallel = .5 ohms (.25 ohms) Series = 2 ohms (1 ohms) Dual 2 ohm Subwoofer Wiring: Parallel = 1 ohm (.5 ohms) Series = 4 ohms (2 ohms) Dual 4 ohm Subwoofer Wiring: Parallel = 2 ohms (1 ohm) Series = 8 ohms (4 ohms) In Parenthesis is the ohm load when using 2 woofers with the same voice coil configuration.
  3. I apologize I didnt write that I got from the Maxxsonics guy on another forum, those were his words. The only way you will see those 1700rms is if your voltage stayed steady or at 14.75 volts. You are probably seeing the 1328 volts at 12.8volts (some where in that region and since music is dynamic you wont see 1200-1300 rms from that amp every second). Voltage can be acquired by doing the Big 3 Wiring, adding a HO alternator and batteries. In your case if you stay under 2000rms then you probably wont need an HO alternator right away, just do Big 3 get another battery and a voltmeter to watch your voltage (if it falls or is not steady then more upgrades need to be made). Naw all amps arent the same but the should be consistent with each other (but I dont test amps so I wouldnt reall know but from logic I would assume they would be a few watts off give or take some). If you want to test it then clamp it and bench test it a car audio shop or find a way to do it yourself.
  4. I would definantly do some research on my amp first before posting false facts and sell that amp and get something better. Here's the facts: OK! Let me give you just a little info on the crunch amps. The GP1500D and the 2500D are rated at Max power not rms. Also these amps are unregulated so the more voltage you give them, the more power you'll get (but they do have high voltage protection around 16.4 volts). The 1500 made 857 watts at 13 volts, but a whopping 1189 at 15.5 volts. This was at 1.1 ohm reactive and all of that power is usable. The GP2500D made 1328 watts at 12.8 volts and 1704 watts at 14.75. These test were also at a 1ohm reactive. So they do more than most people would expect. Oh! The cross-overs in these amps are incredible. They have really good control over your subs. I'll tell you about the 3000 later today!

    independence, lol Anyways, as stated, if you have a BEEFY electrical system it SHOULD be ok. However, I'll let jacob give you the final answer because I think he would know better than I would.
  6. why thankyou i will give that a read and see what i can figure out!
