Clayton Hartweg Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi I have 2 dvc 4 ohm http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/sundown-audio-ev2-12-subwoofer-e12v2-500w-e-series.html I wanted to go 1 ohm with these I think they hafto be wired in parallel? I know sundown are under rated But In order to wire to parallel I will need a amp any help on finding one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton Hartweg Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Soundqubed 1200, Rockford prime 1200 but I will only have one positive and negative going from the box to the amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 You can jump, or parallel, from one speaker to the other. As in positive-positive and negative-negative. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

As in positive-positive and negative-negative. yes but because there is only gunna be one wire coming off the amp going to 2 subs won't that make is 600 rms instead of 1200 because the power is split into the 2 +,- thermals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSanders17 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 If you have an amp that is 1200 rms at 1 ohm, each speaker will receive 600 rms. you are getting the full 1200 out of the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osiris10012 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 The main reason mono block amps have 2 separate outputs is for ease of installation. The 2 outputs are daisy chained internally. Meaning both outputs are seeing the same power because they are connected together. The thing that will change the amount of output is the impedance you have the amp wired too. You can wire both subs down to 2 ohms and connect them to their own pos/neg and this will bring your impedance down to 1 ohm. You could also connect both pos from the subs to 1 output and both neg from the subs to 1 output and this will wire it down to 1 ohm. Either way is going to make the amp produce 1200 rms because of the 1 ohm impedance and the subs will share it. So both will see 600 rms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one channel anyway so no matter which terminal you hook it up to it will see the 1200w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
