ok sorry for the lie. i need help and i needed to catch peoples attention.

i have a diamond audio D5 1200.1 amp ran to a diamond audio M6D2 sub
the amp runs 1200x1@1 ohm, i want to run that 1 ohm to my dual 2 ohm sub. i need to know how to wire it. i think i know how but not sure. so please tell me. thanks

-irish-

plus this system is insane!!!!! every body part of the car flexs when the bass hits.

 

So to clarify this is already connected? What is it Exactly that your having trouble with? Please explain a little clearer...

If you are trying to initially connect it, then on the sub connect + to + and - to - then one set of + and - out to the amp.....

i have it hooked up, but not ran to the correct impedance that i want. the sub is capable of handleing a 1 ohm load, the amp is as well. i want to match so that it sounds the best+uses the whole capability of the amp.

would the TDX be better with this amp that the M6? or is that to much sub for this amp?

 

How exactly is it hooked up ? Can you take a pic of the back of the sub? There is only 2 ways to wire that sub up. Either 4Ohm or 1Ohm. If in series the youll have + and - going to each other and the remaining + and - going to the amp. If in parallel youll have to connect + to + and - to - then one set of + and - out to the amp.

ok, which of those 2 ways u said will get it down to 1 ohm? the one where u run it parrallel?

 

Thats Correct.

 

So you basically have a lot of bass and no sound from the speakers.



And no sound dampening? Right?

Just a word of advice. You get respect with SQ, not SPL

 

sbl turns heads...some people like that...gives me a headache myself..

 

Ummm are you referring to sPl>?

 

no.....
sBl!
havn't you heard of it?
it's new...








he made a typo and i went along with his spelling.

 

lets see the system

 

Who made a Typo?

 

Whatcho talkin bout Willis?

 

conrad, i have both, SQ and SPL, when i get it all installed ill show pics, but i have DA HEX components all around as well. for SQ, all i have to do is turn down the bass. so i still get respect, from both SPL and SQ, and thanks pearl max, DA all the way!

 

I have a similar setup in my car. I too have 4 Hex 600's at the doors, but I run D7 amps and TDX subs. I too like my system, but it's tuned for SQ vs SPL.

BTW, how are you turning down the bass for SQ?

 

to have it blend more with the mids/highs i guess. so the subs arent overpowering.

 

With an EQ?

 

Not why, but HOW?

 

only thing i can think of(that he may be thinking) is by lowering/eliminating bass boost on the sub amp

 

oh. if his h/u has a sub control its very easy.

 

Conrad meant SQ for the Subs.. not for your components..

thats why i run 2 ID Max 12's.. they have great SPL and superb SQ

 

Exaclty, If I read the post correctly then you only have a amp for the subs. Therefore that's just a lot of bass and not enough coming from the speakers. i.e. SPL

 

but what i never said is i have an alpine CDA 7995( no internal amp) i have a DA D5600.4 running the comps. and w/ the HU i do have a seperate Bass control built in the headunit so i simply turn it down at the head unit.

im thinking of getting the TDX soon, is the extra cost worth it, is there more bass to be had from the tdx than the m6? i want to be able to have alot of bass at times.

 

TDXs for me, run from two Arc 2500XXKs



...I have a lil bass at times

 

yea pearl i asked u about those ealier, i want BASSS!, 1200 watts to 1 sub, earth pounding bass! can i get this from say 2 M6's or even 1 TDX?

 

i got the same setup on an 500 watt audiobahn 4ohm bridged for 2ohm running off a memphis class D 500..its a little 10 and I had adjust the gain b/c it kept taking off my mirror.

 

i will take 130 DB SPL with SQ over 180 DB SPL and boom boom no quality... 180 DB? wtf you driving an airplane?

 

He was kidding. He said he was just trying to get our attention. He was joking.

 

Remember that your SQ AND SPL are gonna come from box design and install. The TDX's hold more power, but that doesn't always mean it's gonna be cleaner.

If you run your amp "hot" to a M6, you'll get plenty of SPL but not as good a clarity as you would have running the amp a little less aggressive. Is a couple of db difference that big a deal to you? That's where the compromise comes in. The easiest way to have BOTH is to have a lot of flexibility and additional equipment, such as EQ's. That may end up being more expensive too. It may also introduce more noise in your system too.

Just be careful. You have good equipment that is designed to be clean out of the box already. Don't muddy it up by wanting a ton of bass. You can have plenty of bass out of the M6's, if you plan and install carefully. I've heard a single M6 with a DA 500.1 that rocked hard and solid. A 1200.1 should be plenty for two of those puppies to rattle your brain just fine. Pay attention to the wiring and the box itself.

Are you going ported, sealed, or bandpass? Do you have the right size wiring? Is your alternator gonna be able to keep up if you wire the amp aggressively? Are you using a cap?

 

Get a tdx, the sub is rated at 800rms. The d 1200.1 amp puts more than 800rms out

 

will the one TDX be louder than say 2 M3's? i can get 2 M3's in a vented tuned DA box for a little more than the cost of a TDX?i have the SQ covered, now i just want something to BOOM! i have the amp to do it, now i just need to know what sub to use. so its now either

1. (2) M3's in a tuned DA box or
2. (1) TDX in a homemade vented box
