Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 2964 Registered: Dec-03 | yup. use two 4 ohm single coils subs, or two 2+2 ohm DVC subs that will present a 2 ohm load to the amp. if the amp is rated for, say, 500 watts RMS @ 2 ohms x 1 channel, that'll mean each sub will get 250 watts. |
Anonymous | are 2+2 ohm DVC subs the same as 4 ohm? how would those be wired up to a mono? |

New member Username: ChburnsPost Number: 4 Registered: May-04 | yes, 2+2 ohm DVC (dual voice coil) which gives a total resistance of 4ohms, is basically the same thing as 4 ohm SVC (single voice coil) (someone correct me if I am wrong bc I am also fairly new to audio) |
Anonymous | Dual Voice Coil (DVC) subs give different wiring options. For example, a 2+2ohm Dual Voice Coil sub can be wired in parallel (positive from amp goes to the positives of each voice coil, negative does the same.) This creates a 1 ohm load from EACH sub. Or, you can wire the voice coils in a series configuration (amp's positive goes to positive of voice coil #1, amp's negative to the negative of voice coil#2, then, negative of voice coil#1 goes to positive of voice coil #2.) If you're confused, here's a site with visual diagrams. http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wi ring.html |
Anonymous | What subs would people suggest for the MTX 421D mono amp? I would prefer using two 10" subs. |

SlavsFBplyr Unregistered guest | Can I use a kicker 400.1 to my kicker comp VR? how would i hook it up to get loudest response. thanks |
New member Username: LivinlowPost Number: 2 Registered: May-04 | comp vr and kx400.1 is a nice lil combo. you need to have a 4 ohm DVC or a 2 ohm SVC sub to get the 400 watts rms from the amp, in order to get a 2 ohm load to the amp. |
