Questions About Wiring Subs


Recommended Posts

Posted

First of all let me give you a rundown. My daily driver is a regular cab ford ranger. Since it's my daily driver and a blow through is out of the question until I become more financially stable I'm playing with 36 inches wide, 12 inches height and about 6 inches deep to still sit comfortably. So with this in consideration I have decided only 3 shallow mount (still undecided on which ones to go with) 10's in a sealed fiberglass box.

Now for my question. Is it possible to wire three SVC 2 ohm subs to a mono or two channel amp at 2 ohms? If so how and if not what would your suggestion be?

No im sorry to say you cant. Parallel is .6666... so .5 ohms, and series is 6 ohms so i may suggest a .5 ohm stable amp or a amp that does almost 2 times the rating at 4 ohms and wire it series. sorry kinda confusing but lets say the subs will run at 600 watts at 6 ohms. so look for an amp that does about 900 at 4 ohms. Maybe a hifonics 2608 mono block? hifonics

I'm looking at two subs as of right now the Kicker CVT-SVC or the memphis s-class 10's which are also available in 4 ohm DVC.

Well 2 4ohm subs is a 2ohm load or if you still wanna run 3... 3x 4ohm subs is a 1.34ohm load and you need a 1ohm stable amp...

if your stuck on single voice coil subs then go 4ohm that way you can get that 1.34 load therefore you can get more outta an amp in turn save money on buying the higher wattage ones like said before the 2608d or 1608d by hifonics are both very good amps and are 1ohm stable.

WHATS THIS.........POKE HARD????
