cqtama Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 if your subs are dual 1's here are your choices a- wire each sub in series.. + to + bringing the load down to .5 for each woofer and than parralel to the amp = 1 ohm b- wire each sub paralel... - to + on coils making each sub 2 ohms and then + to - from woofer to woofer = 4 as long as i didnt screw that up.. makes sense in my head, if you have questions on wiring your stuff just go to rockfordfosgate.com go to the wiring wizzard and type in what you got. it'll give you all possible wiring combos for your woofers to not blow up Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

Shyne151 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 You have a XXV-Collossus correct? which is a 2/1 channel amp. Wire each sub in series and put each sub on one channel. That will give you a 2ohm load on each channel and it will put out 1100 watts to each sub. Is that how you have it wired? I guess that is about the only way you could have it wired now that I think about it.

You have it at 1 ohm, with stock electrical. Lets make it simple for you, you keep doing what your doing, your going to clip your subs to death, and blow up the amp. Shyne is 100% right, wire each sub in series at 2 ohms, and run 1 sub at 2 ohms per channel. That amp is only stable at 1 ohm if you use both channels and not having it bridged.
