2 channel amp and dual voice coil
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 392 Registered: Sep-05 | could i run one set of terminals on the sub (one coil) to one channel of the sub and the other set of terminals (second coil) to the other channel of the amp?? My amp at 4ohms puts out 300RMS at 2ohms puts out 500rms so if possible what ohm would my subs be running at if each pair of terminals had their own channel? |

Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 394 Registered: Sep-05 | No imjust asking but i have 2 of these subs running off it so i guess its okay. http://www.epinions.com/pr-Lanzar_HRW124D_Sub_Woofers/display_~full_specs |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2362 Registered: Sep-05 | Bassman3, one of those subs and that amp WON'T work> and it may just be enough power for 2, but do not be surprised if not though. |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1661 Registered: Oct-05 | ty, the amp does 1200 @ 4 ohm bridged each sub = 500 rms = 1000 rms needed: he will have 2 og those sub ( dual 4 ohm) which means if he wire them to 4 ohms bridged he will get 500 rms to each sub (b/c lanzar is a lil overrated) |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2366 Registered: Sep-05 | a little, try alot on that model.... and that is not at normal voltage for max power |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 396 Registered: Sep-05 | ALOT:|? Come on not really..... So you mean connect the 2 subs 2gether? Right now i have it wired at 2ohms but what exactally should the 4 terminals on each sub be wired as? |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1663 Registered: Oct-05 | there are very few amps where you will get the power anyways becasue they all rate them at 14.4 anyways. i am just sayin that if he wanted the best choice for this amp thats how he would need to do it. i am not sayin that i like the amp, because personally i wouldnt ever get a lanzar amp. i'm just tellin him what he has to work with  |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2372 Registered: Sep-05 | you have to run those series/parallal, go to www.the12volt.com and look in woofer wiring. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1674 Registered: Oct-05 | you always need to connect the subs together unless ur runnin one to each channel or sumthin |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 397 Registered: Sep-05 | Each sub goes into its own channel. Its a 2 channel amp. If i bridged it would that work the same or what? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1695 Registered: Oct-05 | if ur subs are each DVC 4 ohm subs - do this:  |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1696 Registered: Oct-05 | so ^^ you would bridged it to 4 ohms. just wire it like above and then when it comes time to connect the speaker wires to the amp, connect them to the "bridged" terminals on the amp. this is all if you have (2)dual voice coil, 4 ohm subs |

|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 398 Registered: Sep-05 | Do you have some specfic ratings for certain lanzar models? (a chart or anything?) |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 399 Registered: Sep-05 | Could i use Volt meter to meassure the AMPS being put out by my amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIl USA Post Number: 181 Registered: Mar-06 | Lanzar has 6 good models? which ones, i thought they all overrated garbage from what i heard\seen...like my power acoustik haha |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1734 Registered: Oct-05 | u can use a multimeter for anything. find the amps and multiply it by the volts. = watts |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 400 Registered: Sep-05 | SO then i can find out for shore how much each channel is putting out in terms of Watts right? (id check each channel at that. How do i know what amount of volts must it be multiplied by?? Do i gota look on hte battery its a 05 Honda Civic so if anyone knows what the Volts for that is..?) |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1753 Registered: Oct-05 | you have to get a multi-meter. there like 15 bucks at radio shack or places like that |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 655 Registered: Mar-06 | You will need a meter that reads amps. Newer ones have an amp clamp that you just clamp around the power wire. Then you will need to get your voltage, set meter to DC volts ant probe the power and ground at the amp. So like 13.6 volts X the amprage at the amp, say 32 amps, = @ 435 watts. To get a max reading, turn up your system to its normal max and take the readings then. That way you will see what the amp is pushing in real world watts |

Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 788 Registered: Dec-05 | only good rated models from lanzar are optidrives, vibe 1800d/1200d, heritage 2600d, and one that is kinda overrated but is nice, the 3100d that puts out 1700w+. The others are like hifo jejeje or worse |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 404 Registered: Sep-05 | POwer wires positive and Grounds Negative? I have to terminals on the thing (wires) that are black and red so should i check the power going to the amp or amps putting out? Can't i just check from teh Channel Pos-Pos and Neg-Neg and see the watts each channels kicking? (Oh how do i avoid dieing and shocking/blocking anyting up?) |

Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIl USA Post Number: 214 Registered: Mar-06 | ummmm, u dont do it by the speaker outputs, you keep your speakers connected(assuming they can take the amps max power, or your perferred setting,whichever your trying to get the rms for) and while its hitting your subs at the average volume you want to test it on, you just look at what the amps and the volts are that are being pulled through your power wire. and it tells you how many watts are being produced, and it gives you your rms, assuming the amps are using the power efficently enough. do you have a digital power cap? it would have your voltage and amps on it. |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 406 Registered: Sep-05 | NO i mean measure the output of watts from the CHANNEL OUTPUT ON THE AMP. I dont have a Cap no, dont really think i need it. |
|
Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIl USA Post Number: 223 Registered: Mar-06 | just connect one channel at a time and test it that way.....rough enough guess... otherwise your going to need more things to test the channel... |
