alrite but does it make a difference the way i have the sub wired inside the box? i have 4 wires directly from + on one side of the sub to the amp the + on the other side and the 2 negs. i was told this is fine but would series or paralell wiring be a better choice?

i thought that bridged it would be a 4 ohm load ... i dont really understand much about ohms can someone give me some basics about this . i was pretty sure my sub is a 4 ohm sub and my amp manual says it can be bridged at 4 ohms and get 460 watts rms

yea i have the manual it says 460 watt rms bridged @ 4 ohms 230 X 2 @ 2 ohms 150 X 2 @ 4 ohms says it can be bridged

nah in the first picture the blue wires are how its wired now the red wires i put on to ask if that would be a better way to wire them and then someone told me to series wire it and i made the 2nd picture cuz i wasnt sure if that was series or not. but in the first pic the blue wires are how my sub is hooked up but when i bridge it to the amp the fuse blows

the blue wires show how my sub is currently wired and works . if i take the same setup as the blue and bridge the connection on the amp the fuse blows... could changing the setup to the red wiring have a different affect. what are the differences?

another thing im not sure if it has anything to do with it but ive seen many subs wired differently than mine. on the subwoofer itself my friend who had this sub before me ran a wire from each connection from the sub. i have seen i think its called paralell wiring which goes from negative to negative on the sub to neg on the amp n + to + on the sub to the + on the amp. i didnt know if the wiring on that part of the sub could be messing with the power load and blowing my fuse

so whats that mean the amp cant handle it ... the amp cant put out the wattage the sub is calling for? basically i need a much more powerful amp?

ok i hooked up my 15 by itself to my amp and after a few mins the fuse blew. my 15 has 4 wires, one coming off each connnection from the sub and coming out of the box when i hook up each of the 4 wires to all 4 connections on the amp it runs fine but it bumps harder when i take the 2 + and the 2 - and hook them up in the bridged slots, but it blows the fuse... im wondering what causes the fuse to be blown and why does it only blow when i have the channels bridged? 15'' eclipse aluminum sub kenwood kac 7202 amp says 920 max watts and 460 bridged at 4 ohms

i dont think id go as low as 110 because right now im guessing the box and subs weigh about 20 pounds and the shipping would be about 20 bucks id like to get more than 90 for the subs and box. ill get back to u in a day or 2 for sure because ill take the 10s out and have it all weighed so i can get a definite shipping price. for now i mean id like to get about 130 for the subs and box + the shipping so maybe 150 but like i said ill get back to u soon when i weigh it out.

sorry bout that the subs are 600 watt max and 300 rms also shipping to 65664 would be about 15-20$ for the subs AND box

for the amp alone id like to get about 150 for it alone because im trying to sell this as a set id let the boxed subs, and amp go for around 250 all together. The cvrs are 800 watt max 400 continuous. ill have to get back to you tomorrow on the shipping prices. any more questions from anyone feel free to contact me through email [email protected]

not really the best pics but heres a couple i took with my phone for now

alrite ill get some pics within a day or 2 until then anyone with questions feel free to contact me

anyone interested in buying 2 10'' kicker comp vr's they are only a few months old i got them for xmas and have had them in since the end of january im selling them because i am currently running them with my 15" eclipse and after gettin some great advice from the forum ive decided to get rid of the 10's due to cancellation in frequencies. the subs are in excellent condition. i will sell the subs with or without the box... its a regular black carpeted dual 10 box nothing special. also available is my kenwood 2 ch 920 watt amp which i also just got for xmas and has only been used the past couple months as well. the pair of 10's cost $220 on sale, the box cost $80 and the amp cost $200 but im just tryin to get rid of them becuase i am planning on gettin a better amp and a ported box for my 15, so i would be very generous with pricing. anyone interested hit me back or email me at [email protected] if you would like some more info about something let me know

I def believe u saying that ur one 12 is louder than my shit. u clearly know far more about car audio than i ever will. thanks for all the advice, one more final question tho... say i ditch the 10's keep the 15''.... the 15'' is from eclipse audio its the aluminum series, im pretty sure the specs are 1000 watt continuous and 1500 max... i have it in a regular box enclosure facing up in my trunk and i have my 1000 watt 2 ch kenwood amp... so keeping the 15 what improvements would u make upon that to make it absolutly slam? different amps, ported box? basically what could i do to the 15 to make it slam closer or to its full potential?

alrite so i understand it wasnt my best choice to mix subs.. however if i intend to keep this setup for a while how could i make the most of the situation. im not looking to enter any bass competitions or anything like that i am simply tryin to be louder than all my buddies. im winning so far but basically im just looking to improve a little. i was thinkin of getting a second amp ad running 1 amp to the 10s 1 amp to the 15, and possibly looking into ported boxes,... i guess im asking if u were stuck in my situation with mixed subwoofers and one amp what would u do to try to make the best out of this setup?

not really i am just tryin to gain some knowledge about what i have in my trunk and since u guys are the experts i figured u guys can help with some of my questions and clear up some things i dont fully understand about sound systems

im just wondering too ... i understand different subs put out different frequency sound waves and stuff but i dont really understand the whole concept of canceling eachother out . when i think about it i would just naturally think more cone space = more air movement therefore more bass.. why isnt that so?

well no i was just wondering what would be the best choice run another amp and get a cap? or something different

well i have tried running just the 15 and just the 10s with the amp, the 15 alone is loud, the 10s alone sound ok, but together they really are much louder.

the eclipse 15 is a 1500 watt max the cvrs are 300 rms and 600 max im thinkin im gonna need another amp keep the kenwood 1000watt with the 15 get a new amp for the 10s and get a capacitor

1999 pontiac grand am GT yes 1 amp kenwood 1000 watt

alright so right now i have 2 10'' kicker cvr's and 1 15'' eclipse aluminum series. im runnin them off one kenwood 1000 watt 2 ch amp. I read some of the posts about mixing sub sizes and most sounded pretty skepticle about it but i have been pretty satisfied with it. i blow all my friends systems out easily. I have regular boxes the 10's are in a dual box but each sub has its own chamber. I would like to get some suggestions about how to improve my system and what would be the best choices?
