Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 162 Registered: Sep-05 | 2 channel amp. 4ohm per coil dual voice coil sub 2 sets of pos and neg terminals. How do i set them as a 2ohm load to have my amp push more power into it?? |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4611 Registered: Nov-04 | You wire them in parallel. That is, pos to pos and neg to neg. Then hook them up to the amp in bridged mode. Make sure your amp can handle 2ohms. |

Silver Member Username: XkawnPost Number: 185 Registered: Jul-05 | the rockford fosgates woofer wiring wizard shows for a 4ohm dvc sub to go from pos of amp to pos of woofer then other pos of woofer. then from neg of amp to neg of woofer to other neg of woofer. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp |

Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 293 Registered: Jul-05 | Is your amp stable at 2 ohms bridged? If not, the only way you could do it is to use only one channel and parallel the VCs. There's no need to do that. If you had a DVC 2 ohm sub, then you could simply run one channel per VC. |

Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 163 Registered: Sep-05 | stable at 2ohms but not at bridged 2 ohms its stable at 4ohms and 4ohms bridge or 2ohms. |

Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 164 Registered: Sep-05 | GUess not it doesnt show a 2ohm load for a 4ohm dual voice coil sub. Mine is set at a 4ohm load right now. |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 165 Registered: Sep-05 | Well hey i see it its not a 2ohm load its a 1ohm load. but my amp doesnt support a 1 ohmload only a 4ohm bridged and a 4ohm and a 2ohm. |
|
Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 294 Registered: Jul-05 | Since it's not stable at 2 ohms bridged, you're SOL as far as running it at 2ohms. |
|
Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 295 Registered: Jul-05 | The 1 ohm load is for a pair of DVC 4 ohm subs on one channel. You cannot wire one DVC 4 ohm sub at a 1 ohm load. |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 166 Registered: Sep-05 | OH alright but what if the sub is 2Ohm how do i get that to run on my 2 channel amp which is only 2ohm stable and 4ohm and 4ohm bridgeable stable? |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 169 Registered: Sep-05 | Also what would you reccomend that would push about 500RMS watts per 2 channels or even 400RMS for a 4ohm load? |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 170 Registered: Sep-05 | http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=12803 That?? |
|
Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 296 Registered: Jul-05 | If it was a DVC 2 ohm sub, you would just run one channel to one VC and the other channel to the other VC. That would be a 2 ohm load. |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 173 Registered: Sep-05 | well what amp then vibe 268 a good fit? |
|
Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 297 Registered: Jul-05 | No, I certainly would not buy that amp. The MSRP alone tells me about the quality of that amp. $269 MSRP for a 1600w amp? Nope... Personally, I wouldn't give $50 for that amp. What kind of sub do you have? |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 174 Registered: Sep-05 | Lanzar 124D's 500RMS 1000watt peak 2 of them DVC4OHM PER COIL Dont hate on lanzar now lol. |

Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 299 Registered: Jul-05 | If you're gonna use just one DVC 4 ohm sub, then you need a mono amp that does the wattage you need at 2 ohms. If you're gonna use just one DVC 2 ohm sub, then you need a mono amp that does the correct wattage at 1 ohm. If you're on a tight budget, look at Hifonics. |

Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 176 Registered: Sep-05 | TWO SUBS! So im using 2 of the Lanzar 124D's and im on some what of a buget but what amp would i need to push about 400RMS watts because i want to hit the RMS raiting on these subs. Kicker 1200.1? But that one is mono channel and only 1 ohm stable i dont know if the subs can take that or what ever i dontknow how it would work more ideas? |

If i was to get that how would i set that and would that be best? |

Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 301 Registered: Jul-05 | "2 of them" I thought you were using just one sub? If you're using two, then that changes everything. |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 178 Registered: Sep-05 | lolll yep yepp now lets talk do you have msn it would be faster. |
|
Silver Member Username: James_gTN Post Number: 302 Registered: Jul-05 | Two DVC 4 ohm subs... You need a mono amp that does the correct wattage at 1 ohm. You wire all the VCs in parallel which is + to + and - to -. I don't know how accurate the RMS rating is on those Lanzar subs, so I'm hesitant to recommend the KX1200.1. |

Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 179 Registered: Sep-05 | Well the 268 had some great reviews tho? Depending on how much more i gota shell out to get it ill see what i can get or cant. For 250 canadian would that be a bit much?? Paid 180 for the one i got now ima go back tell guy i paid actually 200 so pitch in what 40bucks more and grab the 258 maybe if not another 20 and grab 268:S? |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 180 Registered: Sep-05 | SO look for a 1ohm compatible sub and then how would i wire the subs:S? |
