new 2 12" subs and 400 watt amp., mmm Options

[Blakout16]

yeah thats one of the many stuff for christmas i got. me and my dad are like stereo newbs so its taken us awhile to figure out the wiring and such (other than the fact that he's a electrical engineer ) but we started it at 3:10 and its now 8:37 and we stopped at 8:22 ish and the only reason why we stopped is because the drill we had wasnt charged to drill a hole into the firewall to feed the power source/cable, whatever. and it kinda pissed me off i really wanted to hear the subs go thumpie . high enticpation, im waking up early tommorow (10 o clock is early on winter break he he) but i got pictures of it before and such that we put it in. i mounted the amp on the back of the subs, i read somewhere thats a no no... but i really didnt have newhere else to put it. i have a 2 year warranty reguardless. so tommorow when its all done and cleaned up ill post pictures and such.

umm, no comment. 

well said.

ok i'm kinda hazy on how your doing the wireing for that, and should mention that amps dont work the way your setup is asking for, I highly doubt that your gana get the full potential (400 watts) out of that amp if its not briged.

you cant really program the amp to run diff. levels of power per chennel. it sounds like your 2 12" are with tweeters meaning that its one hook up for each sub/tweeter, 2 in all, leaving you with 2 extra chennels for the reg speakers. Read the manual your probibly pushing 50 watts per chennel (200 watts) at 4 ohm if its not briged. and only 400 watts if briged and 2 ohm (if its 2 ohm stable)
