bzip2 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Hey everyone. I recently came across two older RF P2 10's and a Hifonics NX400 and before I wire everything up I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. My understanding is the RF P2's that I have are DVC 4ohm and the amplifier I have can be wired at 2ohms or 4ohms. I know for the subs that I would like to wire them in parallel at 4ohm, the diagram I would be using is found here. Now for the amp according to what I have found online it can do 4ohms 100w x 2 chan or 4ohms 320w x 1 chan. This is where I get a little confused because I'm not sure how to hook them up once the subs are wired. I would assume I would be hooking them up bridged so I could have more power to the subs. Could anyone offer some details that could help me do this correctly? Note: I can't seem to find my set of P2's online to provide you with a spec sheet. I found a few sites that had SVC P2's but not DVC but I'm pretty sure they should be able to handle at least 250 RMS each if not a little more. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone here is familiar with these subs.
Aj11 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 yes wire them like in the diagram and bridge them. if the amp is seeing a 4ohm.load bridged each channel is getting 2ohms. the channels.share the load. that's odd that bridged has more power tho. usually i see something like 200w @2ohm x2 and 400w @4ohm x1 but.you always bridge for subs. that's why most of us use Mono amps. hope helped. of and your subs will be fine on that power just set your gain right. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)
Ahmed Johnson Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 Thats a 2 ch amp. It wouldn't matter if you bridged or ran on separate channels, it would provide the same amount of SAFE power the amp could handle. If you bridge the subs than you have to wire it in series. If you run each sub on it's own channel you can parallel wire them.
bzip2 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Posted May 11, 2014 Thank you for the responses guys, glad to know I was on the right track. I decided I would spend a little money and get myself a good amp. I ended up with an Alpine MRV-M500 and it works great and I even notice a difference in sound quality.
