question about audioque amp.

[Relyks]

i was looking at the manual of the amp

and it shows a pics that has 1 sub and shows a wiring like diagram where you take both positive on the amps and put it on both positives of the sub and both negatives of amp on both negatives on the sub

then says 4ohm - 1ohm what does that mean cause far as im aware there is no way to wire a 4 ohm dvc sub at 1 ohm.

I'm guessing it has a ++-- speaker input, right? Wire the positive speaker wire to the first + and the negative speaker wire to the first -

... ill take a picture of it and show you what the manual says i know how to wire it lol

im just saying ++-- there first 2 positives to the 2 positives on the 4ohm dvc sub and the 2 negatives on the 2 negatives of the 4 ohm dvc sub is what the manual says to get a 4ohm at 1 ohm load is all im saying im wiring it 2 ohm at this very second.

Alright, but the way you explain it seems to be the exact way my DC2k manual looks. It says 4-1ohm load, and shows one Sub with the positive going to both + and the negative going to both -

If Im right about that, then The 4-1ohm means 4 through 1ohm, not 4 or 1ohm.

No, it means you can wire it to 4 or 1 ohm.

With 1 dual 2 ohm sub.

Really? How would you get a 2ohm load on the amp then? Wire to the first + and the second -?

You can't get a final load of 2 ohm with a d2 sub. You can only wire to 1 or 4 ohm. You'd need a d1 or d4 sub to wire to 2 ohm.

I know that, but the OP is running a D4ohm subwoofer, which can get a 2ohm load.

[speedball1978]

if you want a 1 ohm final load go buy yourself another 4 ohm dvc sub and your problem will be solved.. a single 4 ohm dvc sub can only be wired at 2 ohm or 8 ohm nothing more nothing less

i dont got a problem lol mine is wired at 2ohms and is a d4 aq sub in 2.00 cu.ft at 35hz so mine is fine.
