this is my first time messing with car audio so im kinda of a noob but i know some what about it... i have an fi btl 15 and i noticed it has 2 ports where you can connect the speaker wire to, do i use both to power the sub or just one. also do i use regular speaker wire (( i actualy have some rockford fosgate speaker wire))to power the sub or some other kind of wire?

odd... how dud you come acoss this btl!

you will use both voice coils,

RF wire means nothing...

use 10 gauge power wire.

do you know if its a dual 1 or a dual 2 ohm woofer?

what amp are you using, and what ohm is the sub? D1 or D2?

You need to wire it parallel, or in series...do a search on parallel/series here

man, i wish my starter sub was a BTL!

you do not want to use only one coil. it will not play to its potential. like Rob said, check to see if it is D1 or D2. what do you plan on running for an amp?

its a 1 ohm and im going to power it with a hifonics brutus BXi 2608D

Option 1 (parallel) = 0.5 ohm load

Voice coils wired in parallel

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 1/2 ohm mono

Option 2 (series) = 2 ohm load

Voice coils wired in series

Recommended Amplifier: stable at 2 ohm mono

you might want to get a different amp, because that hifonics is not going to put out alot at 2 ohms and I dont know if it will work at .05 ohms...

Heard from a lil birdy .5 will be fine. Just don't expect a warrenty.

Btw that 2608d will be just fine. But be sure to upgrade your electrical under the hood and add a optima or two in the trunk. Voltage drop is a killer of these amps.

Hifonics Is Crap, And Alot Of People Will Agree.

your crap!

the brutus series is a good solid amp for daily cars. not to mention doesnt hurt the wallet.

dont diss on it till youve owned or tried one.

if you wanna listen to ^^^^^^^^

and wanna sell that bxi2608 please let me know. i could use one for my brothers car.

Find out what your amp runs for ohms and then figure out what to wire your sub to
