I am thinking of changing my current sub setup. I have a Boston GT24 AMP

Amp has the following stats

14.4V - 1x900 @ 2ohm
12.6V - 1x750 @ 2ohm

I am thinging of getting 2 Boston G5 12 (4 Ohm)subs that are 450RMS each. Wired together, it should drop the load to 2ohms, Right????

I know it won't quite reach the RMS Output for each sub, but it would be pretty close. Will the output make a huge difference.

Also, they offer the subs in both Single and Double Voice Coils. What is the difference? The price is the same, which should I go with?

Thanks for the help

 

A DVC sub offers more wiring possibilities. But for you to get to 2 ohm, 2 4 ohm SVC subs would be fine. If you wanted to get DVC(Dual Voice Coils) You'd need to get 2 ohm subs. Then wire them series parallel. Wire each subs VC's so it's a 4 ohm sub, then parallel them together at 2 ohms. This diagram shows how:

 

^^^^^I appreciate the help. Can anyone confirm that for me so I know the info is correct. The amp is a 2 channell amp that can be wired for mono use. So I guess i just need to make sure that it is wired properly for the subs.

What about the amp power for running the subs?

 

Well, w/ your car on and running, it should approach 14.4 volts. My neon was at 14.2. Should be perfect for those two subs.

 

it should work pretty well with my car at idle i'm runnign about 13.6 so thats about midway. so around 825 maybe?

 

Sweet, I'll be boomin soon!!! - Within a few weeks. Time to order some subs. I'll make sure an post pics of it when I am finished.
