I have 2 image dynamics subwoofers, and a rockford fosgate amp, and i'm trying to figure out if/how i can hook them up. The subs are the IDQ V1 series and are SVC 4 ohm with an RMS of 200. the amplifier is a 400s and is rated at 400 watts bridged at 4 ohms.

how to i wire it all?

 

the only way I know to wire those subs...your going to need an amp thats going to put out max power at 2 ohms




=2 ohms with two SVC 4 ohm subs

 

that's gay, i thought i could wire the subs to 4 ohms somehow

 

Series. You could run them down to 2ohms..but I've found RF amps get extremely hot while that low.

 

so i need a different amp?

 

my fosgate amp dose get very hottt but its never over heatd

 

No.

 

the amp is 400 watts at 4 ohms, does it matter that the subs will be hooked up to the amp at 2 ohms?

 

not really.. since it wil lbe in 2 ohms, the wattage will jump, so you acommodate with the gain

 

would this amp work with my subs? it's bridgeable to 200 watts rms at 4 ohms, so the subs should see 400 watts at 2 ohms right? Would the amp over-heat?
