New system is in!

I finally got my box done last night. I hooked it up today, and I'm extremely happy with it. It gets pretty loud, and I've only got it wired @4ohms (for the break-in period just to be safe) I cant wait to hook it up @1ohm. The only problems I've run in to is I need to install speaker terminals on the box. I just cut a hole, put the wires through it and covered it with liquid nails. It seems to be leaking air out of that hole. I also realized that I'm gonna need some kind of adaptors because I'm using 12ga speaker wires, and I cant fit 2 wires into one terminal on the amp to wire it to 1ohm. I need dynamat desperately, everything in the back rattles. It gets so loud its not really noticeable. I'll get pics up tommorrow.

Each sub is dual 2 ohm, correct?

And search the board for answers on your rattling issues.

aw1200q's are dual 4 ohms, i had these subs, you only need 1 set of wires from the amp, just run everything in paralell

run 2 wires from the amp, to the first speaker, first vc, and then from the first vc, to the second, then from the second vc, to the 2nd speaker and 1st vc, then 1st vc, to second vc...

pretty simple...

do you have pics of your install? how big of a box did u use?

Yeah. I don't know why I was thinking they might be dual 2 ohm... could have swore I seen that somewhere.... anyway, 97Camaro, not sure what exactly you mean by running two wires into your amp. Here is a diagram for ya. [img]smile.gif[/img]

thats a good diagram....lol i was bout to post somethin askin how to wire subs down to less ohms... but now i dont feel as stupid since i saw it...lol

I have pics, but I havent uploaded them yet. Its approx 4.5cf.
I know about ohmloads and all of that, but I didn't think to just run 1+ and 1- to all 4 voice coils, I just figured they might need that size wire for each sub.
