i didnt realize when i orderd my sub that if you have a dual voice coil sub that you cant wire it to be 1ohm , it will be higher or lower. i did get the universal option so i guess i can send it back and get it redone. how much does this cost to do. and does anyone from fi know if i would be able to maybe just send it back and get a replacement for a fee or somthing. thanks guys. kevin

what voice coil is your sub

it is a dual voice coil one ohm, i want it to be dual 2 ohm

That is a problem... I noticed an email from you as well (name sorta sticks out...lol) Ill get back to you there.

Thanks,

What amp do you have?

You might want to try what you have before you pay to have changes made - With impedance rise, you may be ok.

well, i know i will be ok if i go up to 2ohms, ive got sundown sae1000d, but i really wanted to use my setup for what it can do. i dont want to have 600 watts, i want 1000. haha, ive already got about 5 people into an agruement about this on caraudio.com. and they said to come over here and see what i can do to get it replaced. i know you guys are more mature than them so this should be a better conversation. i said all opions are appreciated on ca.com and one of the mods came in and told me that the facts had been given, so no room was left for opinions. i hope you guys can help me out more than them, peace. kevin

In his testing on thos forum, he ran the amp on (4) D2 coils, which is a ".5 ohm" load. Is it stable?

clamped the SAE-1000D on my bench setup:

Pyramid 50 Amp Power Supply

Kinetik 2400 Battery

Duralast 1000 CA Battery

Fluke AC current / voltage meter

Sears DMM

Test load used was 2x SI Mag D2 12" all coils in parallel for 0.6 DCR with a rise to 1.08 ohms.

Voltage = 32.19 Volts

Current = 34.6 Amps

Supply = 14.4v rest dropping to 12.5 volts

Power = 1113 Watts

I know I had alot of people asking about this, so there it is!

edit: I assume there would not be a warranty, since he discontinued the .5 ohm warranty on the Z series, but it sounds like the amp will handle it if you do not screw up the install. . .

my girl ordered a hifonics bxi1206d amp and she wants to run it on a 15 ssd. the amp is rated at 1200 watts at one ohm..she's ordering her sub this friday and which one does she need to order for the full watts to run to it..the dual one or dual 2.

if you want to get 1200 watts out of that sub, you would need the 2 ohm sub, because the depending on which way you wire it, your 2 ohm sub will either be running at 1ohm, or 4ohms, becase it is a dual voice coil. the one ohm sub, which i mistakenly baught, will run either .5, or 2ohms, and you wont get the max out of your 1 ohm amp. sucks, so yea, definitally go with the 2 ohm sub if you want the max power out of a 1ohm capable amp.

now, play nice.

yep you did.

just wondering, but does anyone from fi know what steps i should take to send it back and stuff?
