Ren504 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have a Hifonics BXi-2610d Amp. I would like to run 2 15" the new P2 by Fosgate. My Amp is rated for 850 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms 1700watts x 1 @ 2 ohms 2600watts x 1 @ 1 ohms The subs are 4ohm dvc an rated 400 RMS. Is this to much amp for these subs an my amp is saying one channel but I see 2 -/+ speaker terminals. It's --/++ next to each other. How would I wire this up. Connect both subs @ 4 ohms ran to just one -/+ or each sub separate to a -/+. Thanks for any help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to have to be a series/parallel setup, and I think the terminals are internally wired in series. Easiest way is probably to just connect them to a single terminal.

Ren504 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 So connect both subs together keeping them @ 4 ohms an use just one connect on the Amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanSound Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well if they are rated at 400 rms a piece then wiring them to 1 ohm would pop them. Wiring to 4 ohm is your best bet with that amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren504 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah that's what I'm trying not to do!!! Lol what I was saying is wire the subs @ a 4 ohm load the connect to amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefconZero Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Exactly. So you'd wire the voice coils on each sub in parallel ( 4 * 4 / 8 ) thus bring each sub to a 2ohm load, then wire both subs in series, thus making it a 4 ohm total load.

Ren504 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thank y'all!! I'm starting to get an understand things now. I left out the part about the voice coils but I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda a weird way of calculating parallels. I mean, it works, just not the way I'm used to seeing it. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
