Okay guys so here's what I have. 2 12" kicker c12 300w single voice coil 8ohm, 2 10" audiobahn AW1051SE 300w dual voice coils 4ohm, and a 1200w mono planet audio amp. Now my question, is it possible to wire those 4 subs to just that amp? I currently just have to 2 c12s hooked up to the amp but I have that extra set of audiobahns that I wanted to hook up too to pound louder. Any ideas?

 

You can hook all 4 subs to one amp but you really want 2 amps. To make all 4 work off that one amp 2 subs would be sharing one channel. Id suggest just gettin another amp to handle the audiobahns

 

no, your aksing for huge trouble...the AB dual 4's will wire to a 1 ohm load, leave the Comps off.

 

It's a mono D so I'm just working with a single channel. Could I parallel 3 of them into the amp. The 2 c12 making 4ohms and then 1 AB adding another 4ohms bringing it down to 2ohms total? Also if I had to just stick to one set which one do you think would hit harder the 2 c12's or the 2 AB's? In a single sub sealed truck style box. (the little angled ones).

Thanks!

 

I am not a stereo guru but, I had the stereo in my truck worked on last weekend and
I have 5 - 10" JL Audio subs wired to 1 - Lanzar 50C Opti amp. It sounds great!

 

Theory would say to stick with the 12's. The only whay to increas speaker ouput is to increase cone area or power. But at single 8ohm coils, the best you could do is 4ohms to the amp. If the amp is 1ohm stable, and has a better RMS ouput at 1ohm, the AB's could be the better choice. And as blueflamed03 said, your asking for trouble trying to wire multiple coild configurations together.

 

I guess I'll just stick to my c12's for now then. Is there a way to make those louder tho? Could I port my single sub sealed box with a small hole or something to let all that trapped air out?

 

alright guys heres what im pretty much running. 2 of these

i was thinking i could port my boxes with these right here

2 of those 3" ports in each box, one on each end. what do you guys think?

 

Ported boxes are a whole other animal. They require more cubic feet of air space in an enclosure to get to a proper tuning frequency. Porting a small sealed box would yield a very unfavorable tuning frequency, it would be way to high and make you subs sound like mid-basses.
