Hello, i just got a new syatem and am not sure on the best way to
wire
it. I have the DEI 600D and 2 Audiobahn AW1200Q subs. The subs can
be
ran down to 2ohms but the amp is 1ohm stable. I want to get the
most
amount of power out of it b/c the subs can supposedly handle 1400
watts, if im only running a 2ohm load that would give me 200rms to
each
sub, right? Now the amp is internally paralelled or whatever so any
help on this would be great because i really dont want to blow the
subs
or the amp, i hear these amps are really good and really hard to
come
by so i dont want to lose that for sure. Thanks


If you wanna the noise around 1400 watts, it's good chance that you
might
destory your amp or sub or both. There is no way you can maintain
amp around 1400 watts. It will be neither sub or amp blowing out
soon.
1400 watts is a monsterous noise that you might awake up the whole
neighbor! The solution is keep the noise down. You do not have
to join the street booming competition.


I'm not trying to run 1400 watts, i just want to maximize the power
that the amp can produce, 600rms/1200max, and if i run it at 2Ohms i
would be getting 800TOTAL watts and the subs can handle up to 1400
watts, thats why i would like to see if there is a way to wire DUAL
4OHM subs and make the amp see a 1Ohm load so i can get the max power
out of it, and of course without blowing the whole thing up in the
process. Also i have another question, the amp has 2 60amp fuses on it,
i was wondering if i should get a 60 or 70 amp fuse for the battery.
Thanks again!

Actually, if you have two 60-amp fuses in the amplifier, I would use
at least a 120-amp fuse near the battery. The size of the fuse near
the battery doesn't have anything to do with protecting the amplifier
- it's just to protect the wiring. In case of excessive current, as
long as the fuse near the battery blows before the main power wire
becomes damaged, it's done its job. If you pick a battery fuse that's
too small, like 60- or 70-amps, you may end up repeatedly blowing the
battery fuse, just because of the current requirements of the amp.
