VC's in series, Woofers in parallel. (2nd picture) http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp?WoofQty=2+woofers&WoofImp =Dual+Voice+Coil+-+4+ohms+x+2&image.x=20&image.y=9&image=Submit |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 241 Registered: Oct-05 | powered by a8002t they are 2 12's dual 4 ohm and on the picture i just dont get how you wire the right sides of both subs... because no speaker wire is coming from the amp to the right side of those subs in the diagram. |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 243 Registered: Oct-05 | but i have (2) dual voice coil 4 ohm subs. so i would wire the vc in series and the subs in parallel to get a 4 ohm load my question is: in my link, on the ride side of each sub, there is nothing coming from the amp to the right side of the subs. why does it show just a ( line showing + and - on the endpoint of each line with it showing that it isnt hooked up to anything..... thanks rovin but i am trying to explain it best i can. |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 246 Registered: Oct-05 | ok. on http://www.bcae1.com/ look at the picture under the title labled " speakers in series". what is the green arrow???? and why doesnt it show it coming from the amp?? that is my q |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3879 Registered: Jul-05 | can u save the pic and paste it here. I understand what ur saying but u say it doesnt connect to anything | |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4511 Registered: Jul-05 |  - this ? the green wire wire is completing the series circuit an amp has only 2 wires so if u put a wire from the amp onto that it will result into a different load ohm cause the remaining amp wire will have to go into the 2 other free terminals - hope that helps .... |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 248 Registered: Oct-05 | yea it shows the green arrow isnt connecting anywhere on the amp, its just like floating... lol or does it connect to one of the + or - channels on the amp??  |
|
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 249 Registered: Oct-05 | so that green arrow wire isnt connecting to the amp at all?? | |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4512 Registered: Jul-05 | in above scenarion - NO , no need to but i'm wondering why do u want to run ur (2) 4ohms dvc subs into that amp bridged for ? ur amp is a 2chan & does 800 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms 400 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms so if u run 1 sub/chan its = to doing it bridged ! & the wiring is so much simpler like this >>>  |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 250 Registered: Oct-05 | but i dont want to put a 4 ohm load on my amp because it puts out 800 watts at 4 ohms and i want 400 watts rms going to each of my subs. This is the wiring diagram for woofers with dual 4 ohm voice coils. This will give you a 4 ohm load. The voice coils of each individual speakers are wired in series. This gives each speaker an 8 ohm impedance. Wiring them in parallel will present the amp with a 4 ohm load.  |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 251 Registered: Oct-05 | i have asked numerous people in this forum and everyone said this is def. the best way to wire it. including chancey, glasswolf etc... | |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 252 Registered: Oct-05 | so in this case, the blue wire isnt connecting to the amp? its connecting the sub to complete the series connect... is this right? | |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4513 Registered: Jul-05 | yep this is the same thing  |
|
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 253 Registered: Oct-05 | yea. i couldnt get that picture on this for some reason. it wasnt uploading... why doesnt the blue wire on the other picture have to connect to the amp?? that just seems weird to me for some reason. why would it connect to itself? by the way, thanks rovin: i wanted to get this cleared up for my friend who wants me to wire his subs |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4515 Registered: Jul-05 | all that blue wire is doing like i said b4 is that its simply completing a circuit - just do it like in ur pic & don't about it & it'll be fine ... time 4 me 2  |
