tacomabanga1986 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 if u have dual 2ohm voice coils u cant wire ur subs to 2ohm with one woofer only, only ohms u can get is either 1 or 4 unless u just run one coil n get 2ohm, i dought u will get enough independence rise to get to 2ohm tho, maby 1.8ohm at the most do u have these speakers?

BeAlLsTaR13 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 just wire the subs like that on the inside, then you can wire paralell outside the box (pos to pos neg to neg) on the outside of the box, or just have each terminal cup running to the amp at the same channel Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
