New member Username: Gary_ukPost Number: 6 Registered: Apr-05 | some one say if i am wrong.. if my amp is mono but has 2 channel outputs and is 1ohm stable then it means both + and both - of each channel are joined together in the amp so if i run 1 dual coil sub like this http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =2&impedance=DVC2x2 to a + and - on my amp, and the other sub to the other + and - on my amp, that would be 0.5ohm on each sub so my amp will be runin at 1ohm. sounds good to me ???? |

New member Username: Gary_ukPost Number: 7 Registered: Apr-05 | nope thats not rite because i would have to run 4 subs to get 2x 0.5ohms. HELP !!!!! lol |

Mr. Know A Little Unregistered guest | I assume that amp is 1 ohm stable with both channels. Which means that you can go pass 2 0hms on each channel. So, what I would do is wire 1 voice coil to a channel (1 voice coil on 1 sub to a channel). That would present a 1 ohm load to the amp. Mono means both channels act as 1 as far as it goes with the ohm load. Which means you cant go pass 2 ohms on each channel. |

New member Username: Gary_ukPost Number: 9 Registered: Apr-05 | if i put 1 voice coil to 1 channel that would only be 2ohm as each coil is 2 ohm each. also i know both voice coils must be wired up on each sub. ?? i have them both on the amp at the moment at 2ohms and they soung great but would be better if i could get them on at 1 ohm ? i think ? |

Anonymous | Wire it like option 2 in the pics (2Ohms). Option 1 will over-heat because it's .5 Ohms. At 2 Ohms you wont be getting the most out of your amp, but it's better then running it 8 Ohms. There is now way of wiring those subs together at 1 Ohm. If you were useing 1 sub you could. http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =2 |

Anonymous | O, I was thinking you had a mono amp. If you don't bridge it you can run 1 sub in each channel at 1 Ohm. Wire each sub like option 1 (1 sub to each speaker output). new diagram: http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =1&impedance=DVC2x2 |
