Rebel4055 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Hooked up a buddys amp and sub combo he got from a friend. It is a older Kicker 850.2 and 2 kicker CVRs. Anyways they have the subs wired positive to positive and negative to negative on the subs. On the outside they got a wire from positive to negative and then one positive from the sub to the amp positive. And the negative on the outside to negative on the amp. I don't know if this is correct or not. Don't know anything about bridging amps. I just hooked them back up the way they were. Is this the correct format for them? Quote Rest In Peace mother.

412 CVX Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 pictures would help. what's the voice coil impedance? Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.
Rebel4055 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I'm lost too. I don't understand how they have them wired... The voice coils are wired positive to positive and negative to negative. Then this random wire outside of the box goes from the positive to the negative on each sub. Didn't get a change to take pictures. Needed to get the job done. They are dual 4 ohm. Now I didn't wire it like this just to clear it up. I just left it alone. I'm just trying to see why they got it like they do. You gotta bridge this amp. I don't know how to bridge but it seems like it isn't bridge the way its setup.

Guest Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 well they can only wire it to 1 ohm or 4 ohms (or 16 if they fail hard enough). i pray to god its 4 ohms, and that all the coils are in phase Quote
Rebel4055 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Yes I'm piss poor at paint lmao. The lay out of this isn't very good. The negative and postive on the terminal cups are linked. Edited February 19, 2012 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
