Mako1215 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I have a quick question to see if my idea will work. I have 2 DVC 4 ohm subs, and want a 2ohm load from each one to my amp. So I was wondering if I have a box built, and have each sub with it's own terminal cup will it still work that way? My amp is a monoblock with 2 sets of outputs, at 2ohm it outputs 1200watts rms, and it would be perfect for my subs which is why I'm wondering this.

Mako1215 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Damn. So even like that the amp will still see a 1ohm load? I was hoping it would be a 2 with both of them wired to 2ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 nope. you're wiring two dual 4 ohm subs in parallel to a monoblock amp (single channel amp) so the amp will see 1 ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako1215 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 So because it's a mono it still would see a 1 load, but if it was a 2 channel each channel would see a 2 load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 So because it's a mono it still would see a 1 load, but if it was a 2 channel each channel would see a 2 load? monoblock would see 1 ohm. 2 channel would see 2 ohm in stereo. if you had to use a 2 channel for subs, i'd bridge it if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB18VFL Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 when you hook up two subs to a monoblock at 2 ohms each, the amp internally bridges them to a 1 ohm load.

Mako1215 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Yea I'm just going to have to run them at 4 for now, sell the amp, and buy something 1 ohm stable so I can get some more power.

How much power do you need to run to each sub Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
