Hello,

I recently purchased a Phoenix Gold ZX450 and I wondering what is the best way to wire this amp to a pair of 10" Audiobahn subs in order to get the best amount of consistent power. Thank you

4 ohm stereo @ 12/13.8 VDC
18/75 WRMS x 4

2 ohm stereo @ 13.8 VDC
150 WRMS x 4

4 ohm bridged @ 13.8 VDC
250 WRMS x 2

While the 450 could handle a 2 ohm bridged load, I would wire each 4 ohm coil to its own ch of the amp. Sub A, vc1 to ch 1, vc 2 to ch 2, Sub B, vc 1 to ch 3, vc 2 to ch 4. Set the gains for each sub as close as possible. If I wasn't using my phone, I'd explain how.

if you do that I would be sure that the sub signal is mono and you are not seding different signals to each coil.

k installation is done! sounds great! One problem. I attempted to make my own LPL44, using a 50kohm pot meter and some telephone wire. All the wire connections are soldered properly, I plug it in to the amp and theres nothing!! WTF!! I looked online and came across a thread that said the LPL44 only works when your low pass cross over is activated. Ok so I did that and this knob still doesnt freakin work!!

Someone help!
