Nick580 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 I have 4 DD 500 series direct connect subs. When looking for an amp, on which I have not yet decided (either the DD m2b or M3b,) I was confused on how to wire them into a lower impedance and if it were at all possible to wire into a 1 ohm or 2 ohm load as this will ultimately decide what amp I decide to go with due to power at higher loads. Any thoughts/ comments are appreciated

biscuitownz Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 If each sub is DVC 4 ohms then you would only be able to get 2 ohms with everything in parallel.

OP what is your electrical like? 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12
Nick580 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Posted November 6, 2013 ok I understand how I would wire a standard push terminal style driver but the fact that these are direct connection throughs me for some reason maybe im just slow or something but typically you would need a jump from one coil to the other.
BigManAC Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 You would just strip a piece of the wire and solder the other lead on it. the impedance load will either be 2 or .5 ohms 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw

truthsayer Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 Option 1 (parallel) = 0.5 ohm load Voice coils wired in parallel Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 1/2 ohm mono Option 2 (series/parallel) = 2 ohm load Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono Option 3 (parallel/series) = 8 ohm load Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in series Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono truthsayer
Nick580 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Posted November 6, 2013 Electrical I have 3 optima group 34 batts. One primary with Big 3 OFC and two secondaries. I currently have a stock alt at 130 Amps and one run of Knu OFC to the back but once I get the box built and buy the amp my electrical should be better. Maybe not in the way of a new HO alternator but at least some more runs of 1/0 OFC

I use wire nuts but you would need some monster wire nuts for 5 wires ur right about that. 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12
