bobonit Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 i think u guys miss understood... i want them powered at 4 ohms not 2 It doesn't really matter what you want, its a matter of electronic theory. You can not take 2 single 4ohm subs and get a 4ohm load on one channel. You will either have 2ohm or 8ohm load if they are on the same channel. If you put them on their own channel they will be 4ohms. Quote 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodHam Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 ok so... if i have both mtxs bridged right now on the same channel is that bad or something? Quote 18" Sundown Zv4 D2JL 1000/1 V1XS Power D3200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedeaf Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Dual 4 ohm voice coil subs would be the only way to run them both on the same channel and get a 4 ohm load. 2 svc subs you can only either get 2 or 8 ohm load on the same channel. You want four ohm? Run them on separate channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodHam Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 ok that makes sence now... so there is prolly no safe way to run 3 svc 4 ohm subs on 1 2 chan amp? Quote 18" Sundown Zv4 D2JL 1000/1 V1XS Power D3200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedeaf Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 ok so... if i have both mtxs bridged right now on the same channel is that bad or something? If they're bridged in parallel, they are currently running 2 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're bridged in parallel, they are currently running 2 ohm. yea but someone who has experience with these amps says that these amps dont last long if u run em at 2 ohms bridged. so ima prolly stop running it like that Quote 18" Sundown Zv4 D2JL 1000/1 V1XS Power D3200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodHam Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) so even if i have seperate wires running from both subs and they dont meet untell they reach the amp they r still running at 2 ohms bridged? ok i think i got this figured out now... if the mtxs r single 4 ohms then i can only hook them 2 up to seperate channels but if they r single 8 ohms i can wire those down to 4 ohm and hook them up to 1 channel and hook my pioneer up to the other channel since its a single 4 ohm. am i right? if im not please tell me edit: if u dont understand wat im saying ill draw it out for u on paint of something Edited January 4, 2011 by HotRodHam Quote 18" Sundown Zv4 D2JL 1000/1 V1XS Power D3200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotRodHam Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) ok this is a drawing i made on paint explaining what im trying to get at... i need to know if the one on the left would work or not... if not just tell me and ill leave the pioneer out of my car Edited January 4, 2011 by HotRodHam Quote 18" Sundown Zv4 D2JL 1000/1 V1XS Power D3200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
