Ndnkobra Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, i just wanted to make a quick topic before i turned in tonight. I've been meaning to put my woofers back for some time now, but i need to make sure, and i mean ABSOLUTLEY make sure that my subs are wired correctly and the way i want them. I have a eD nine.1 amp that is rated 1200W @ 1ohm. So since i have 2 1 ohm subs, i need to wire them to have a 1 ohm load so i have 600 watts going to them each. i looked on the 12volt for a diagram, and i wired it accordingly. I just wanted to post a picture because i dont want to find out i did some faulty wiring, because these things are a bitch to put back in . here's the picture, sorry for the crude drawing. I think i've wired the coils in series, and using that dumb amp diagram i drew that should put the speaker terminals in parallel, unless i have it backwards. Let me know if there are any problems in that wiring and how to correct them, thanks! On a side note, i have one sub upside down just to show you if i wired the coils in series Edited December 14, 2009 by Ndnkobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunatikGixxer Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 if im correct which i think i am u wont be able to get 1 ohm out of two subs. its either .5 ohms or 2 ohms.

skittlesRgood Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 he is wrong. you will get 1ohm. its actualy series/parallel. its looks like you are going to wire them right. little hard to tell from the pic but it looks good.

Ndnkobra Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 alright good, this might be a stupid question but i cant help but asking, would it matter which terminals i wired in series? like say if took that blue wire on the sub thats upside down thats going from right hand negative to left hand positive, and moved it up to the other terminals put it so its going from right hand positive to left hand negative. Its been on my mind but i dont think it should matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splzx3 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 You sure? According to this you can, but thats why i posted this topic this is right do jumper on one of the coils on each sub (that will give u a 0.5 ohm load) then take the other coil and hook up the (+) and the (-) that will give u a 1 ohm load Quote ________________________________________________________________________ deepsilencer, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:32, said: splzx3, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:27, said: i had my fun on one of his videos...till he blocked me then i got my mother into it lol after her he closed the comments xD lol your mom is a G!

Torres Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 the diagram is correct. and no it makes no difference which coils you series over. just as long as you dont series the same coil and lunatik...he could only get those ohm loads if he had *one* dual 1 ohm sub. he could pick parallel (.5 ohms) or series (2 ohms) he has two, so he's safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl0wn Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 if im correct which i think i am u wont be able to get 1 ohm out of two subs. its either .5 ohms or 2 ohms. I was having the same problem with mine (2 subs 1 amp) His subs are d1s, yours were d2s. That's why you could only get a .5/2 ohm load. He can get a 1 or 4 ohm load.
