gattiboy13 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 So i bought a dual 2ohm sub, not knowing i need a dual 4ohm to run at 2ohms. So i am waiting on new sub to arrive, shop is switching out. But in the meantime they wired my dual 2ohm sub to run of 1 coil, so its at 2ohm where my amp is. But now it pops and slaps on certain tones? My question is it the wiring or my box air space wrong? It is a 10" fosgate p2 in a ground shaker pro slot ported box.

JamieHoward Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Not sure about the noise, but just keep in mind that 1 coil can only handle half of the rated power of the sub, so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gattiboy13 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 That makes sense. They said its ok if i blow it! They will still replace. Thank.nato guys. Ya it pops only at higher volume, so makes defect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 You should not be hearing popping or slapping of any kind from your subs. They should never have run one coil off that sub, but instead wired it to run @ 4 ohm so the sub was using both coils to power it with. Just take it easy on the sub for now till they get the replacement for it. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its no wonder most people no longer trust shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
