wiring subs

[mcwilly]

i have 2 dvc subs which have dual 4ohm voice coils. just wondering how i wire these up for a 2ohm setup (amp output of 2ohms)? i know how to wire 1ohm and 4 ohm just unsure of 2ohm?

baboom! all you need to know :)

so u cant run 2 dvc 4ohm subs at 2ohm

[mcwilly]

if i dont have 2ohm im gonna run at 1ohm and have 600wats rms per sub wid max gains so gains will need to be turned right down to stop subs from blowing is this a better way of doin it then using gains anyway

if you have any problems audio wise, ask away on this forum....these ppl are the best in the business

ive heard that u can run subs at any ohm loading aslong as the amp is capable of it, is this true? i wanna run 2 dvc 4ohm fusion subs in parallel meaning they are running at 1ohm. the amp im gettin is capable of 1ohm

not any ohm. The maths has got to work out.

is this what you need ?

true as true can be

depending on the quality and build of the amp, it will get pretty hot

[mcwilly]

yea thats how id worked out howw to wire it up, just makin sure that subs can run at any ohm rating aslong as maths works as above. so running in that configuration should be fine. the amp is going to be running very low gains etc as the power is more then enough at those setings. thanks for ya help guys

[papatonga]

no probs mate

good luck with it all

i hope your amp is 1 ohm stable? If not it'd be like connecting a nail accross the speaker terminals and hoping it doesn't blow up.

[mcwilly]

yea im gettin the top of the range clarion monoblock amp its 1ohm stable with 1200w rms

[andrewgrazier]

cool
be careful
ive heard loots a people who have stuffed their subs and amps doin this.
ive read that a lot of amps have like written that they are stable but its only for like one second n then they cant handle it.
my brothers got a 15 in alpine type R with this tiny alpine amp n it is even too loud n it does like only 350 RMS

The clarion monoblock amps are pretty good amps. If they say they are 1ohm stable then they should be safe to run at 1 ohm.

[mcwilly]

on the box it gives a reading of 1200w rms at 1ohm load along wid 2 and 4ohm ratings and a few ppl in the audio business have suggested this amp at 1ohm (not sales ppl fitters)
