Chris from Mi Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 why would a coil to each channel matter if it is a mono signal and its a d2 sub? I'd do that instead of bridging it imo, bridging causes the amp to heat up more, and be slightly less efficient Orion 2500D, Jbl Gto 75.4 Team Wolfpack Audio FSQ 15" d2, mb quart xover, tweets peerless 6.5 mids Alpine cda-105 optima up front Knu klm 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8-NiTe Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Didnt know you could bridge a mono signal.Thought if it was a stereo amplifier and you had 2ohms at each channel it would be 2 ohms stereo.If its a mono amp and you run 2 2ohm coils to it it would be 1ohm.

lownslow336 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Didnt know you could bridge a mono signal. bridged didnt sound any better an it still cut off, i turned down the gain a bit.. it still hits hard, an my amp gets a lil warm also Jenson head unit Rockford Fosgate wiring Rockford Fosgate p200.2(mids/highs) Rockford Fosgate p500.2(subs) 15' kicker L7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8-NiTe Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Try doing what i said with turning the dual 2 ohms into 4 ohms then bridging it to the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 LOL you guys, its not a mono amplifier. Its a stereo amp that has left and right channels and unless he is sending a mono signal to it from the radio he is sending a left and right signal. On some recordings there are going to be musical notes that are only played through either the left or right speaker. When his output drops out is when only one coil is receiving an amplified signal and when its shutting off then he is sending a very biased signal and its fighting the left and right against each other into one voice coil and the amp is sensing a major issue and shutting it down.

ISO Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 bridged didnt sound any better an it still cut off, i turned down the gain a bit.. it still hits hard, an my amp gets a lil warm also I bet you ran both coils to the amp didn't you? You gave the anp a 1 ohm load LOL. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

You gave the anp a 1 ohm load LOL. its not a 1 ohm load lol each voice coil is 2 ohm, the amp is 2 ohm on each channel, nothing wrong with that Jenson head unit Rockford Fosgate wiring Rockford Fosgate p200.2(mids/highs) Rockford Fosgate p500.2(subs) 15' kicker L7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Figure out witch is coil #1 and coil #2. Then take the negative from coil #1 and hook it up to the positve on coil #2. Now you have a 4 ohm woofer. The last 2 terminals on your sub have nothing in them and those are the only positive and negative that you run to the amp when you bridge the amp. FYI 4 ohm bridged power is the same amount of power as running the amp 1 2 ohm coil to each channel but you don't have the conflict of signals anymore.

ISO Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 idk man ha You have absolutly no idea what you are doing at all. You do not comprehend how this equipment works at all and it should be taken away from you. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.
