What's Wrong?

[SlappinChevy]

i have 2 Cerwin Vega HED 12.2's and when i wire them to 2 ohms and bridge them to my amp it always goes into protection mode when it really hits...could anybody give me some advice on what to do?

[splzx3]

maybe bc ur amp cant take a 2 ohm load

[96 Tacoma]

series parallel to a 4 ohm load

[SlappinChevy]

maybe bc ur amp cant take a 2 ohm load

but on the amp it says minimum impedance is a 2 ohm load

how are they wired series then parallell correct? if so you may have low voltage

on the dash its readin about 15 volts so i wouldnt think thats the problem....i only have 1 on there right now wired to 2 ohms bridged and it does just fine

he has d2's so ied wire each sub pos to pos n neg to neg n then run a wire off the left subs neg to the right subs pos coil, n then run a wire off the left subs pos coil to the amps left pos, n run a wire off the right subs neg to the right neg on the amp n u should be good wit ur 2ohm load

my buddy had 2 or 3 subs runnin off his nitro 1200 n it worked ok, pushed 2 rf punch he2's pritty good, n i got em off him n my mtx 500d did better but ya

ied wire it like that, or heres a pic of how to do it too, i just wire it like that cause it leaves less wires at the amp to work wit

haha rf does it too =)

heres the pic

if u wired ur subs together n then the same at the amp and u did this

u down to .5 ohm n fixin to blow shit up in that amp n need to rewire asap lol

hope this helps

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?

i get what your sayin but how am i gonna run wires from sub to sub when my box is chambered?

[BeAlLsTaR13]

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
