Wiring 6ohm subs to a 4ohm stable amp?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Alright so I got two 12" VFL American Bass subs that are 6ohms. My amp is a Pioneer GM-5400T and is stable at 4ohms bridged, or 2ohms per channel.

How should I wire them up so that I get the loudest configuration out of them?

Tried Googling it already and found no answer so came here..

Thanks,

Dave

wiring them at 3 ohms should be safe, just go easy on the gain.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
