ok i get that, so how would ya wire all that up to run two 4ohm subs in parallel on a 2ohm monoblock amp?

If you run two 4 ohm subs in parallel then it will make the amp run at 2 ohms.

Read my SPEAKER IMPEDENCE tutorial.

how does all these ohms and voice coils work? and what effects wot? cos i thought that to be running a 2ohm amp u need to run a 2ohm sub, but u sed to run the 4ohm version of the subs n i dont gettit?

if u get the single coil 4 ohm version and run 2 together at 2 ohm the amp will be fine.

so the new l7 subs run at 2ohm and 4ohm and have a single voice coil, so will the 2400d run them both good or not? think the amp runs at 2ohm 2. i want abit of both spl and sound quality mostly spl.

Yeah Viper are just a spin off of directed right...

the 2400d is "basically" two 1100d's strapped together internally.

this is one of the reasons that you can strap the 1100 and not the 2400 unfortunately.

i have setup viper 1200d's (again similar to DEI 1100) and these will play all day at 1ohm :)

Thanks for that m8 i have only had experience of directed 600d and 1100d which are both 1 ohm capable and i assumed the bigger on wud be too.

Good subs and a good amp, the directed's work best at 1 ohm, so really u need subs with 2 x 4 Ohm voice coils and wire to 1 ohm.


sorry mate. but the DEI 2400d is only 2ohm stable for everyday use. my team mate competed briefly with them and yes they will run below that but we never really wanted to try it as daily use. i currently run 6 of the Viper 2500d's which are a VERY similar amplifier, just differing with the x-overs.

The smaller DEI (1100d) is indeed 1 ohm stable if that is the one that you were meaning.

P.S. The DEI 2400d is a superb amp and has loads of power ! :thumbs:

Audiobahn i dont reccomend, look flashy but dont sound all that.

For your sort of budget the L7 are quite good, depends wat u r after, SPL or sound quality...

do you know if the new kicker l7 squares run 2x 4 ohm voice coils then? i was gonna get two audiobahn subs but evry1 keeps saying the kickers r better, wot do u think? im on a budget of under £1200. for two subs n amp. does ne1 recommend nething?

Of course, but u will have to wire the subs in series or parallel to get the load u need.

Will sound good.

yeh you can with a mono block. Just that you have to wire them in a certain way. Cant rmember how mine is, but i have a monoblock powering both of my subs.

would i be able to run two 15" kicker l7 squares (1000w rms) off a directed 2400d amp even tho its a mono amp? if not then what amp/amps should i use? also is this a good choice of sub? any advice asap would be great. thanx.
