Skax Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wire each woofer in series, then wire the pair in parallel. Like this. i guess my confusion is and a dumb one is the second sub doesnt have to be actually hooked up directly from the amp?so i will have one terminal on the back of the box with nothing in it?? Let's see if I can make it easier. You wire each sub to 4ohm and then wire them together for 2ohm load to the amp. wouldnt it work if i just did like i sketched though also? 2002 Mustang GT Procharged Procharger P1SC Supercharger, 8psi Procharger Intercooler, Headers, Borla Off Road X-Pipe Exhaust, Mass Airflow Upgraded Fuel Injectors SCT Flash Chip (Excaliber II), Throttle Body, Lowering Springs, Carbon Fiber Hood -Front 275/40ZR17 -Rear 315/35ZR17 5.0 Short Shifter 3.55 Gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, from the box at 4ohm that would be the wiring.

osiris10012 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Glad to hear it is starting to make sense. Mono blocks like you have can be confusing. It appears that you have 2 channels, but internally the 2 separate connections are actually connected together(daisy chained), so it simulates you connecting the terminals on the box together. You are inputing the 2 individual subs wired at 4 ohms and internally the amp will combine them making 2 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Do you have a multi meter? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

osiris10012 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 You are correct. Wiring the subs to 4 ohms and connecting them to the amp like in your diagram it will drop your final impedance to 2 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osiris10012 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 hey no problem. If you are still concerned and have access to a multimeter you can easily check your impedance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
