will Bronze Member Username: Will4992 NC Post Number: 56 Registered: Mar-08	Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 21:38 GMT I know, we've already established that they are dual voice coil subwoofers. what I need to know is what impedance the coils are. Are they dual 4 ohm coils or dual 2 ohm coils. If they are dual 4, then they can not be wired to 2 ohms.

Casey Elkins New member Username: Cmack111 Post Number: 7 Registered: Feb-09	Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 21:48 GMT That will run them at 2 OHM?

Brian Bronze Member Username: Blkbville04 Monclova, Ohio US Post Number: 64 Registered: Oct-08	Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 22:37 GMT ditch the cap, with 500 watts your stock electrical will be able to handle it up to about 1200 watts
Casey Elkins New member Username: Cmack111 Post Number: 8 Registered: Feb-09	Posted on Monday, February 23, 2009 - 02:23 GMT So with the 2nd wiring diagram how do I wire the other two wire hookups on my subs? They are DVC.

Casey Elkins New member Username: Cmack111 Post Number: 10 Registered: Feb-09	Posted on Monday, February 23, 2009 - 04:38 GMT Yea. I looked at the site and it doesn't have the exact speaker listed as the picture. They are single voice coil 4 OHM subs. Can I wire those at 2 OHM?
Stavenmist316 Gold Member Username: Big_edge_head Milwaukee, WI Post Number: 3497 Registered: Mar-07	Posted on Monday, February 23, 2009 - 05:44 GMT Yeah just like this picture and the one above it.
M.S. Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18 Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9915 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Monday, February 23, 2009 - 07:04 GMT If they are single 4 ohm then there will only be one set of terminals per sub. Just wire them like that diagram.
