Kicker Guy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 for easier wiring, they are actually paralleled inside the amp Quote Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Sub Amp:American Bass VFL 500.1 Subs: 4 Fi BL 18's Enclosure:21.5 Cubic foot flat wall tuned to 40 hz Batteries: 3 Kinetik 2400's in the back, Kinetik 1200 under hood.

KevinH Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 oh that makes sense, so bridging it on the outside is doing the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinH Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 and one more quetion, a bit off topic but if i have two subs wired for 1 ohm each and i bridge it at the amp does that give me a 1 ohm load on the amp or a .5 ohm load?

Kicker Guy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 if each subs is 1 ohm.... and you wire them in parallel then the amp will see .5 (not good for your amp) Quote Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Sub Amp:American Bass VFL 500.1 Subs: 4 Fi BL 18's Enclosure:21.5 Cubic foot flat wall tuned to 40 hz Batteries: 3 Kinetik 2400's in the back, Kinetik 1200 under hood.

KevinH Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 ok thats what i thought, so i should leave the subs wired at 4 ohms each and bridge it at the amp and it should give me a 2 ohm load, or is there any way i can run two dual 4 ohm coil subs at 1 ohm on a mono amp?
