Bronze Member Username: Rollout4877Kent, Ohio USA Post Number: 44 Registered: Apr-06 | im trying to figure how to wire my subs to 1 ohm. when i go to the12volt.com it only shows how to wire 2 ohm, but if i show it with only one dvc sub, it shows how to wire it to 1 ohm. and thats how i have them wired now. i have both subs wired separatly like this http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=22 so are they 1 ohm now? and also. how should the wiring be going from the terminals in the box going to the amp be? |

Bronze Member Username: Rollout4877Kent, Ohio USA Post Number: 46 Registered: Apr-06 | ok i got it now but i think it should be louder. i have 2 12 inch dvc 2 ohm kicker l7's with a boss 3000 watt amp in a chambered sealed box 1 cu sq ft each chamber |

Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California USA Post Number: 788 Registered: May-05 | oooh, nvm. you can wire them seperatly to 1 ohm if you have a 2 channel amp. |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston, MA Post Number: 185 Registered: Mar-06 | wire em for the .5 ohm and they both will be getting the full 750wrms, Providing that amp puts out 1500wrms at .5 ohms. Also bridge both channels. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rollout4877Kent, Ohio USA Post Number: 49 Registered: Apr-06 | it puts 750 x 2 at 2 ohms but i dont think it is really doing that. right now i have it at 1 ohm and i think it should be louder |

Bronze Member Username: Rollout4877Kent, Ohio USA Post Number: 50 Registered: Apr-06 | how do i bridge the channels? i know what bridging means and stuff but im not exactly sure how to do it. im kinda new to all of this |
|
Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston, MA Post Number: 188 Registered: Mar-06 | Like this wire both subs for 1 ohm and then put both feeds into one channel of the amp that is for bridging..  |

Bronze Member Username: Rollout4877Kent, Ohio USA Post Number: 51 Registered: Apr-06 | i dont get what u mean put it into one channel?> |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rollout4877Kent, Ohio USA Post Number: 52 Registered: Apr-06 | the only way i know how to do it is with one speaker. u connect the neg to the right 2nd channel neg and the pos to the 1st channel pos |
