Will wiring this sub to 4 ohm work well with a 900 watt amp or not?

One more thing Nate these speakers need to be broke in not all speakers need to be! But these do 20,30 hours of mild bass so they get use to the box you put them inn. If not you'll risk chance of blowing them.

Well to tell u the truth u need a bigger amp. The sub takes 1250 watts rms. So 900 watt is to small.

Subs are way overratted! I blew 2 sets in one month! Was told the speakers could handle my 1000 watt amp. Professionally installed also.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

100 watt and up could be a little strong. I'd say 75 watts would be a good match and that's at 4 ohms.

This amp at 4 ohms is rated at 1500 watts max and 750 watts rms. Your subs are rated at 800 watts rms & 1600 max so this amp is perfect to push them with. Now how long will this amp last is anybody's guess. Remember you get what you pay for.

This amp is rated for subwoofers at a 4ohm load at 450Wx1. The manual says in a 2 ohm load wired in bridged mode you can achieve 900W @ 2ohms but it is not meant to drive a subwoofer. So this is how they can say 900w. I actually attempted it anyway and gave it a 2 ohm load and the amp went into shut down.

Yes just make sure the ohms are good and you have 4 gauge amp wire and a second battery for the power that this amp requires

this amp is 2 0hm stable, ohms measure resistance, if your subs are 4 ohm then amp will heat up, possible fire, or burn out amp.

It should be enough. I use it on my 1000 watt amp with my 1200 watt sub. And keeps everything under control pretty well. So I would say yes!

Im not familiar with wiring 3 subs together, but this amp would be a great match. If you wire them down to 1 ohm, you will get roughly 2000 watts. You only need 1200. You can max out the knob at times if you want amd wont have to worry too much about puttin too much juice to em. If they're wired at 2 ohms, this amp will give em 1400 watts which is still sufficient.

I'm no installer, but based on specs, this amp is stable at 1 ohm and should run the sub.

Higher ohms are always compatible. As long as you stay above 2 per channel or 4 bridged you'll be fine with this amp.

Yes this amp would be fine!! The wiring would be the same as any other amp no need to bridge it. You got two positive and two negative on the amp for your subs.

It may...by connecting them paralleled to the amp, and installing a passive filter on the output to the 12" sub. The problem with that wiring scenario and 4 ohm speakers is that you will force the amp to run at a lower ohm load than it is supposed to accept. I would not recommend this because even if it worked, it would overheat. Throw a separate bridged mono amp with a capacitor on the sub instead...hope that helps and good luck with it.

Yes.. Just have to make sure your sub runs at 2 ohms and hook it up the right way

Are the subs wired correctly for 4ohms or 2 ohms. If so your gains need to be adjusted properly and any boosts from your deck turned off

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

There are many variables to consider when building boxes that affect sub performance, but without those to consider there are a few things you can plan with. Your subs can be wired together (assuming they are single voice coil) at either 2 ohms or 8 ohms, with 2 ohms being the better choice for this amp. At this resistance the amp will work very well, providing up to 500 watts RMS (much under the rating of your subs)
