Phoenix Gold Phorum

i have two RSDC124 getting hooked up to this amp http://www.menaceaudio.com/car_amps.html the 3000.2 version. What would be my best bet for wiring the speakers internally...and then to the amp?

well it says its 4ohm bridged stable.

so you would run the subs like this:


the top + and - go to the amp

sorry for the crappy paint drawing. its late

also, do you have the manual for that amp? im skeptical of its power ratings.

even if you break down their marketing numbers (1500 x 2 MAX power at 2ohms) still puts it at 375 rms per channel...which still seems high to me based on its size

Maybe this will help you a little better

Rms power @4ohm 300 watts x 2 channel
Rms power @2ohm 450 watts x 2 channel
Bridged rms power output 900watts x 1 channel


has 3 40 amp fuses

that comes from the manual

well the fuses check out! let us know how it sounds!

so i want to go from the pos and pos on each to one pos on the amp and neg+neg to the neg on the amp briged correct? and does it matter which pos and negs are connected together on the sub inside top or bottom set? they are the same right?

yes, yes it does........

not quite sure what you are asking here.

the + and - next to each other is one voice coil. the terminals on the other side of the sub are the other voice coil. those 2 are the same.


if you make the wires look like the pictures you will be good to go.

if you do not pay attention though you will just make one VC a closed loop and the amp will see a much lower ohms load which is bad.

What I would do is wire the subs in parallel (2 ohms), then hook one to each channel of the amp, instead of bridging it.

now my headlights dim a bit every time the bass hits




and when i smoke my cigs my smoke vibrates lol

Upgrade your big 3 wiring.

this is a good vid on it....

well oddly enough "boobs" is my answer to most questions, not just that one

"if you do not pay attention though you will just make one VC a closed loop and the amp will see a much lower ohms load which is bad"



what would cause this?

hook'n it up wrong would cause a closed loop. i always use this...

just put in the # of subs and what ohm they are and it tells you how to wire them...
