JeremyN Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 dont get mad, but its because you want to run twice the rms to a sub. and with you asking how to wire a single sub up to an amp to get a desired ohm load, leads me (and cjn) to believe that you wont really know how to tune the amp/headunit settings either. so dirty power will likely smoke that sub in a few weeks/days depending on how bad it is. or that you wont know where to find a good ground, or using too small a wire for anything. Thats what I was thinking Quote 2 12" Jeff Vue Customs 1 set MB Quart FSB 216 in doors1 American Bass 100.1 on sub1 Hertz EP2 on doorsJVC deck IPOD controlStock 105 amp alt DD-1big 3new build in Chevy caviler http://www.stevemead...chevy-cavalier/last set up in the ZX2 http://www.stevemead...-current-build/old build log http://www.stevemead...-1998-ford-zx2/ Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves. Just my .02c that shop needs keep those doors open so they have to charge for it if people think 10k is a lot then they should get into other hobbies.. like masturbating, cause any hobby cost money to maintain Lol no, I'm smarter than that bro haha.

sbg Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) this guy, he's going to blow some shit up. How ? well man that sub u have is 600 watts and your amp @ 2ohm is 1200watts so u will pop that 15 fast... that would be if your sub is a dvc 4if your sub is a dvc 2 you can run the sub @ 1ohm on the amp but that's 1700 watts on that sub thats 600watts lol if your sub is a dvc 4ohm you can put the + from on side of the sub to the other side on the + and same with the - to make it a 2OHM on your amp, if you run the + on one side to the - on the other side of the sub will be a 8ohm sub. now if its a dvc 2ohm sub + from one side to the other side same with - with make it a 1ohm on your amp..... and if u run + to - on the other side of the sub u will get a 4 ohm on your amp. got it? u need a a dvc 2ohm sub so that u can run it @ 4ohm that way u dont pop the sub by over powering.

bassface Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) If you have a dmm you also may want to verify the ohm load is the same for both subs after you finish wiring them in parallel. I think though if the sub can only handle 600 watts rms, at 2 ohms the amp supposedly puts out 1200, at 4 ohm the amp puts out 600. I would wire series parallel for a 4 ohm load. Oops forgot they were dual 4 ohms, pretty much wire in parallel then to 2 ohms and be careful volume knob.

Miguels Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 wire that sub to 8 ohms if its 4 ohms or wire it to 4 ohms if its 2 ohms. that sub wont last you a week Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kogwanted Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I know how to tune stuff generally but now u guys got me scared lol I just wanna make sure everything is right where should the phase be goes up to 180 and bass eq sub sonic level and low pass I know u guys probably won't know with out doing it here but just generally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
