4Ohm vs. 2 Ohm
ClarkB replied to ClarkB's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
Wiring my amp to 2ohms increases the power drastically and it makes quite a difference, i hooked it up today and it runs good but the amp gets hot.....but it is a sloppy Boss amp....oh well hits harder....IK it wont last but it only needs to for two months. Thanks again guys. -Also its putting out 710-730 watts on each channel on my old-school watt meter. -

Okay guys really appreciate the help, and surprisingly its true to there rating at 4ohms ill let you know how wiring them to 2ohms goes tomorrow. Thanks again. -

Indeed it requires 50% more power. lol, and? What does that matter? I kinda felt that post was irrelevant myself. -

Okay ill add some clarity with a diagram of how its hooked up.. This is how its hooked up now. http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2DVC_2-ohm_2ch.jpg I'm wanting to hook it up this way, just need to know if its correct, and wont cause any harm. http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2DVC_4-ohm_2ch.jpg Can i even wire two 4ohm subs to 2ohms? cause it requires more current 50% more, and its recommended to be more efficient i feel as if not there not really hitting to there potential being wired at 4ohms -

Im pretty sure each channel is stable at 2ohms for 1500 watts on each channel, and bridging the amp brings it to peak power of 3000 watts on one channel. i personally would bridge then, if your subs could take 1500W each I need to know if i can wire each channel in parallel instead of bridging, will it cause any difference? -

Okay i have a 2-channel 1500 watt rms amp, that is 2ohm stable and I have it hooked up to (2) 15-inch DVC 4Ohm Subs wired at a 4Ohm load. My question to you guys is that if I run it in parallel to bring it down to 2Ohms would that be better cause I'm only getting around 450 watts on each channel at 4Ohms, but my friend today said that they could only be wired up at 4Ohms or 1Ohm, but i think he is referring to a mono-block amp and not a 2channel.. Any Help peeps?

Isolator

thats a huge fucking difference in voltage for a stationary battery dude. What do you mean? -

I revived the battery and both batteries give out a solid 12.2-13 volts.....No dead batteries. -

I have mine wired from the + terminal up front to the rear battery + terminal, and have a wire from the - terminal on 2nd battery grounded to the frame in the back. The alternator will charge both batteries this way, but it does put more strain on the alternator. My heavy duty 875 cca battery is in the back i have a comp different batt up front of around 600 cca. After installing my 2nd battery it seemed as if my amp was able to push more watts because my subs hit the low s even better! I heard 2nd battery is much better then a cap. So far i would agree. -

Dont plan on playing the car audio with it off, I just want that extra battery installed. -

Would there be any significant harm if i didn't use one? -

Can i hook up two batteries without an isolator?
