I have an audiobahn aw1200q which specs are as follows:
dual 4ohm voice coil 700 watts rms; 1400 watts peak
and I have a mtx 801d amp which specs are as follows
400 watts x 1 at 4 ohms
800 watts x 1 at 2 ohms

I wanna wanna wire them up without blowing them. I know its 800 watts rms if i wire it at 2ohms so is it a good idea.

can someone tell me how to wire it up please? I need a diagram or something
thanks in advance fellas...

thanks man...

 

I wired the sub and its not hittin at all

 

wired correctly? gains set ok?

 

yea...i wired it just like the diagram above, and its not hitting like i expected to. I thought that it would pound because I was feeding it more power than it says. Do you guys think that if I purchase a bass **** help?

 

not sure, it should still get loud. however, loud is is purely based on the person hearing it.

did you try wiring it in a series? (you'll get less power, but curious if you'll hear any difference in output)

 

what size box and type?

 

ported box. I bought it from ebay...I really wanted something that wouldnt take up a lot of space.i think its like 1.86 ft^3

 

anyone think the bass kno will help any??

 

A bass **** may help, but only if applicable to the amp.
Mess around with the gains, and the bass/sub settings in your deck. (if your running a line out convertor, turn up the signal strength if possible)

 

check your gains, and a bass **** is not a volume control, just set the gains and you should be good to go

 

check the wires on the sub itself- this happened to me once- had the pos and neg bassackwards

 

i would check the frequency **** on the amp too if its too low then its not going to pick up close to 0 frequencies
