Audiobahn V Alpine

Hi,
What does everyone prefer in terms of amps? Why?

[Google]

[ToggleHead]

I personally prefer the Audiobahns for their sound quality. I wont say its better, or worse. i just prefer it. =]

And from what i can gather they make very efficent use of the power they supply.

What about the Audiobahn A8001DT?

[ToggleHead]

that should do fine.....but

what about this one?

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13496

I personally like 2-channel amps better than singles, just my preference..... but yes that amp should do you fine. Keep in mind also, when wired in series, dropping the ohmage, the power will go up..... a friend of mine has the same subs as you and man they kick..... give them a soldi 500-800 watts and they will never let you down.....=D

How do I wire the subs up to be 1 ohm? They are currently connected together in parallel to be 4 ohm.

[wb131988]

That Audiobahn A3201T produces 820w x 1 at 1 Ohm and 300w x 2 at 4ohm. This means you want me to connect the subs up to separate channels instead of both through 1 channel??

[wb131988]

O yer I read a review on that amp u recommend and someone says 'wait till the night'... What would they mean by this?

if the moon is full it turns into a warewolf....




or it might just light up or something.....never can tell

it prolly just lights up.....

well it depends..... in my opinion get the 2channel amp..... bridge it therefore you get both crossovers....run the subs parallel first....see how they sound.....chances are they will be awesome, but you could get more......

then try in series, or, + lead from amp ----> + on one sub // neg Lead off that sub ----> + lead on second sub // neg lead off second sub to neg lead on amp.....

this will bring down the ohms, and give you more power......i know for a fact those subs react well in series..... i think you should be golden....=D

anyone see any objections?

You no that + from amp to sub etc.... well the subs each have two +'s and two -'s so.....

So you think I'll have a bangin system with that Audiobahn amp? I really hope so after all this re-configuration!!!!

[wb131988]

O yer does that amp put out ***w x 2 at 2 OHMS?

[wb131988]

Also how do I make my subs be 1 ohm? I have been told they can be 1, 4 or 8 ohm. Cheerz

[wb131988]

I looked in the manual that came with the sub and it says I can wire it up to be 2 ohm so

[ToggleHead]

do it...... wire them both at 2 ohm..... these speakers will love it

also...please try to gather all of your questions for ONE post..... those last two were made within two minutes of each other... when they could have easily been made one reply. Just be thoughtful, it helps the forum run smoother...=D

Sorry

I can only get the monoblock A8001DT. I would like to wire the subs up to it at 1 or 2 ohm. How do I do this as the amp only has 1 channel?

[ToggleHead]

you will have to run them in series as i mentioned earlier...=D

Ahhhh yes....

You said "+ lead from amp ----> + on one sub // neg Lead off that sub ----> + lead on second sub // neg lead off second sub to neg lead on amp....."

But if I do that there will be a + and - left over on each sub....?

[ToggleHead]

oh that right you have dualies...... hmmmmm ill have to ponder this

I have now bought the A8001DT from America off of Ebay- the site we all love . So ponder well for this one please!

[wb131988]

Hi I have found this diagram- hope it helps you explain to me what to do..

[Sally]

As long as your sub has dual 4Ω Voice Coils, that's EXACTLY correct.

So basically I wire all the +'s together and on the last + I wire that to the + on the amp, and the same for the negatives? My subs are 4 ohm DVC.

[ToggleHead]

then yes...thats exactly right.....=]

Yep, wire it all in parallel to get 4 4-ohm voice coils down to 1 ohm. If they were all wired in series, you'd get abou 8ohms.

All + terminals together and all - terminals together.
