Need Help With Wiring
|
New member Username: Audio_newbPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-06 | Sup guys, I have 2 12's DVC 4o hms each, and i cant understand for the life of me how to read the wiring diagrams on most websites, cause most of the diagrams i looked at have 2 lines running to the amp does that mean 4 wires? or just 2, Im wanting to run my subs Parallel so i can run at 2 ohms stereo,right now i have them in series but i only have 2 wires running to my amp, does that mean its briged at 4 ohms? the wires are coming out of just one side of the box(its a bandpass box) Any nice site or help would be very much appreciated |

If I'm understanding you right, you want to wire EACH sub down to 2 Ohm and then I assume run them to seperate channels on your amp so you can run them both at 2 ohms. If that is correct, you need to look at how to wire a single DVC 4 ohm sub and then duplicate that because technically you're not wiring your subs together, your running two seperate subs, just in the same box. If you wire them together you end up with 2 wires, if you run them seperate from eachother (as is seems you want to) you'd end up with 4, a positive and negative wire from each sub. Think of them as compltely seperate from eachother, two subs, each wired in parallel running to the same amp. |
