Subject: Re: ECLIPSE TITANIUMS W/ MTX AMP...wiring question


sadly, the other guys are right about your sub/amp situation.
however, you're slightly lucky because the nominal
impedance is actually 3 ohms for each coil. so, like corey
said, you should wire each sub's coils in series, then wire
both subs in parallel to the amp. although the amp won't see
a 2 ohm load, it will see a 3 ohm load, which is closer to the 2
ohm minimum. in a way this is good and bad (depending on
how you look at it). at 3 ohms, the amp won't be stressed as
much (even though it's designed for that), but it also won't
make as much power so the subs won't get as much juice.
even so, the beast of an amp you got is underrated so it'll
make a bit more power than MTX's power claims, as you will
or already have seen on the certification sheet that came with
the amp.
