Amp Help

Ok whats the difference of a dual 2 or dual 4

[bassinblazer]

Dual 2 is dual 2 ohm voice coils. Dual 4 is dual 4 ohm voice coils. If you are more into researching this, look up ohms law and do a little bit of research on here.

Basically, can make the amp see different impedances(ohms) from your subwoofers. A single Dual 4 ohm sub can be wire to either 2 ohms or 8 ohms. A single Dual 2 ohm woofer can be 1 ohm or 4 ohms.

The more woofers you wire together, the more complicated it gets, especially when you are new to this whole thing. If your amp is only stable at 1 ohm, and you have too many subs of a certain Voice coild design and impedance, it can represent problems.

Ok well im confused on the wiring of the subs? if i take pictures of everything would that help?

[bassinblazer]

Dude, run the positive of both subs to the positive bridges connection on the amp, then run the negatives from both subs to the negative bridged connection on the amp. Use the existing terminals and bitch slap the guy who set up your system the next time you see him because he is a tool.

thats exactly how its hooked up but it was louder the other way...and my subs are single 4

I think they ran both subs on one channel @ 2ohms instead of bridged @ 8 ohms.

I have no idea im just confused...should i hook them up the louder way or keep them? The thing is im a college kid and dont have alot of money for new stuff, if these blow
