I have 2 PLSQ12D Square subs and a PLA3000D amp.
Ok, its a monoblock amp 1 ohm stable the subs are Dual 4ohm. The amp is supposed to be a monoblock and yet it has enough output terminals for two channels....if I wire them in parallel to get a 1 ohm load, do I attatch to one side of the amp or both sides...confusing....yeah i know people think pyle is a crappier brand but I like 'em PROUD

You would parallel the coils on each and then run a sub per side.

what IMP would that give me?

if you wire each sub in parellel and then each sub to its own terminal you will get 2omhs from each sub and 1omh total load at the amp....

Many of the newer Monoblocks have 2 output lug sets. Just makes it easier to wire a pair of subs.
CompVR has it right... you get 1 ohm net as noted.

PS In the early days, Pyle was one of the BIG GUNS. They called it the Pyle Driver. Yeah, they are still usable, but the gear available now, makes Pyle look like 2nd sandbox.

the squares looked pretty killer so I ordered them ....the other stuff like kicker and fosgate...a lil expensive for me.....Im not trying to compete...Im just trying bump along....they dont have comps around here anywhere....I just like having loud music

i thought the squares were kewl when they first came out, i have a set of kicker 12in L7s... they sounded good and bumped but they definitly are stiffer than round woofers... more power needed to achieve x-max

would box size matter in that situation?
compvr15s on 01/5/2006 00:11:20
yea box size/type is probably the biggest factor on a good spl/sq setup...
for the power handling aspect the size will vary the power handling of the sub, say the sub calls for a 1cubic foot sealed enclosure for tight punchy bass it will probably handle 100-110% of the listed power. now lets say it calls for a 2.5cubic foot ported enclosure you are only gonna need 50-75% of that power to reach its full potential.
