what ohms would this be

[Mikey Bates]

ive asked this before but it seemed like people understood it different. just look at the pic. any questions just ask. just kinda confused one what it would be

[blownengine]

Just wire it to one set of the amps outputs, not both.

[Toby Ratcliffe]

Should still be right at 2 ohms, unless you are using high resistance speaker wires.

[Toby Ratcliffe]

Normally people only use one set of outputs, but if you are using a small gauge speaker wire due to not being able to acquire a larger gauge, having two runs might help a little bit.

would i lose power by doing what im doing?? and its speakers wire that came in an amp kit by cadence so

[b.knue]

either run one voicecoil to each channel of the amp or bridge the amp while the sub is wired in parallel.

2 ohms. no idea why you're trying to use both sets of speaker terminals though.

what kind of amp? i hope a monoblock

either run one voicecoil to each channel of the amp or bridge the amp while the sub is wired in parallel.

if he's running a 2 channel, why the FUCK would you run each coil to each channel? what happens when the bass signal isnt perfectly 50/50 on the left and right channels? the voice coils somewhat fight with each other, and one works harder than the other.

its a mono amp not 2 channel and my thought was if each terminal on the sub was 8 gauge lets say, then only running 1 8gauge for + and 1 for - would take away from power. stupid lol?

[Toby Ratcliffe]

No, 8 gauge is pretty large. The only time you would be limiting power is you are running like 1000 watts, and only running a 16 gauge wire. Then you could double up that and it would allow a bit more current flow, but probably not an audible difference.

[Guest]

unless you're running 2000w, you dont need 8 gauge for sub wire.

if you have like 16 gauge for sub wire, you better upgrade that shit.

the ONLY reason why there are two sets of speaker terminals, and i could've sworn you've been told this before, is solely to make wiring like 8 subs easier. so you can put 4 on one side and 4 on the other instead of having a wiring headache and trying to get all 8 subs to go down to 2 wires.
