How do I keep a 4ohm load on 2 dual voice coil 2ohm sub?
@@garcial06 Two Dual 2 ohm Subs can only be wired to 8 ohm or 0.5 ohm if wiring together. You can do 4 ohm or 1 ohm if 2 amps(1 per sub).
No problem my guy , love the content and the help given to the community !
Thank you Jacob, I have a couple of friends that need this video! I hate being the guy that all my friends come to trying to explain and them not getting the concept. Only thing I would have added was the words parallel and series but for people that don’t fully understand I guess that just adds more confusion. Will be sending this to buddy’s.
Parallel = train tracks.
Series = flashlight 🔦.
Not many people will understand this 😂
@@rustywrench500 I'm sure you're right! 😂
please explain lol
@@dannylsx
Parallel : :=: positive post to positive post negative to negative
Series Flashlight 🔦 batteries ._._._. Positive to negative.
@@MadDragon75 thaks
You are on a good path Jacob please keep up these new videos. 👍
Ok so we're do the wires go from the amp to the box
Question regarding the 8ohm connection @8:50. If you wire the neg and positive across the coils, wouldn't that not work? If you want an 8ohm load you wire 1 neg to 1 positive together across the coils. The remaining neg and positive to the amp for 8ohm load?
Say I have a dvc 2 ohm sub wired to a 1 ohm load and I also have one with a 1 ohm dvc wired @ 2 ohm .. can I wire these together to get like a final 1.33 or . 8 or something along those lines or does this not work ?
One sub will get more power than the other but ideally you cannnnn but not recommended as its an inbalance in performance/power overal
@JacobViral2 in my case the dual 1 ohm would be an 8" punisher in the back deck and a dual 2 EVL 12" in the trunk .. I was thinking they might balance the power out decently due to the difference in size ? Just a thought .. I could be completely incorrect
@JacobViral2 also .. I do have a clamp meter, multimeter, and an o scope so maybe I'll play around with it just to see what it's doing and try all possible wiring configurations to see if I can get it close .. maybe the 12 wired up to 4 and the 8 wired down to .5 ? Clueless about it honestly but I have the tools to try it anyway 😂. . if it works would definitely be something I don't see most guys trying
I have a 2 ohm dvc and want to wire it to 1 ohm. Would I wire positive to positive and negative to negative, then connect one side to my amp?
Correct, 2 poss together and 2 negative together.
Can you do this to door speakers to? Wire 4ohm parallel drop to 2ohm ??
Correct same concept with speakers
My final load is wired to 1 ohm. But when I measure it with the meter, it gives me .5 ohm which cause my amp to shut off. My amp is 1 ohm stable. Please help!!
What ohm subwoofers, how many, and how is it currently wired? Sounds like a pair of dual 2s wired to half ohm.
Can I wire two of my 2 ohm dual voice coil Subs to a final impedance of 4 Ohms
I'm curious to that very same question an I'm asking if you have gotten a answer to your question
Is that where you how are you connect to P3 rock and Foskey 12 inch woofers
Same concept for all speakers/subs
Hay can you wire 2 amps to 1 DVC sub.. so 1 amp to each VC and y splitters for signal input?
Yes you can, I have seen up to 4 amp with 2 strapped per coil.
i got four 2 ohm speakers if i wire it positive to positive and negative to negative what ohm is that
.5 ohm, you want to wire up then down to 2 ohm final
I have two 10 dual voice coil 1 ohm how to hook up to my Rockford Fosgate t2500 could you help me out please
Hey john so can be wired at 1 ohm from pair of D1 ohm subs. I explained how in video, but simply google sub wiring diagram 12volt will plugin and show visual also if can't figure out. 2 d1 =1ohm or 4 ohm.
Love your Videos My Man
Thanks glad you enjoy my daily videos foobart 🔊
Any way to wire 1 dvc4 and 1 dvc2 on 1amp or does it have to be 2 amos
You could but one sub would see more power and may have phasing issues. You want the same impedance subs wiring to amp so no complications, especially if shared box.
Question, when you was doing the dvc 2ohm subs, and you came up with either 0.5ohm or 2 ohm load, is there a 3rd wiring option? To take it back up to 8ohm?
Correct
Hello thank you for this nice video see can ask you something if you can help me can 2 subwoofer with dual voice coil 4ohms going wiring 2ohms play amplifier or need 2ohm and 2ohm dual subwoofer make this and wiring for make it 2ohm thank you
Two dual 4 ohm =1 or 4 ohm only options. You need two dual 2 ohm to make 2 ohm
@@JacobViral2 thank you sir for your answer
Can u take 6 dual 1ohm speakers to a 1ohm load?
Not exactly 1 ohm load but right above it yes like 1.2-1.3ohm. Wire 3 sets down to 0.6 ohm and then up to 1.2-1.3 ohm.

Hi , I have 2 subwoofer kicker campR and ONE MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER 2ohm, can you explain how should I wire for best result.
What ohm are your kicker compR subs and dual voice coil?
@@JacobViral2 12" CompR 2 Ohm
The CompR 12-Inch Subwoofer is a 2Ω dual voice coil design
@@kamranasghar7074 so you wire up each DVC subwoofer down to 1 ohm, then connect them back up to 2 ohm. Google “subwoofer wiring diagram” and look at 12volt site, shows everything visually.
Thankyou. I will try ,
How do i wire up a4 ohm 12kicker cvr to a n2 ohm to match my other 12 kicker 2 ohm cvr
You need the same impedance of both subs. Don’t mix dual 4 ohm with a dual 2 ohm.
I have a monoblock 1ohm 1000+ watts rms can i buy 2 subs who each have 1000+ watts rms rated at 2×2 ohms? Orr is this not possible
You want TWO Dual 4 ohm(4x4) to make 1 ohm with a pair of subs and not 2 dvc 2 ohm.
@@JacobViral2 well i am still thinking on what i want but if i do 2×2 ohm than i need new amp sooo....
So if you had 2 ds18 3 ohm speakers what ohm lost would you have
1.5 ohm or 6 ohm If SCV wiring together. If DVC could be .75ohm or 12 ohm
Hi new to this car sound system stuff
I’m in need of some major help
I bought a 12inch skar sub amp had blew out so I bought another amp but didn’t realize it was a 4ohm amp my 12in sub is 2ohm and didn’t realize it was a 12000watts sub ( due to my first sun blowing from not letting it break in then when replaced I blew the amp) so now I’m stuck and don’t know what to do
My amp is a skar 800watt 4ohm marine and my sub is a 2ohm 12000 watt how can I go about this
Is it a dvc(dual voice coil) / 2 ohm? Wire it up to 4 ohm on the amp. Cross a possitive to negative terminal and then hookup other to amp. Use multimeter to confirm.
@@JacobViral2 dude thank you so much I plan on doing that on Monday I have it set low in order for it not to hurt my sub there’s no hits or anything going on right now but I will confirm when I do it Monday
@jacobviral2 ok so I'm basically in the opposite position as @carlosslazar6767 I have a skar 800.1d amp that's 1ohm final impedance and it came with a skar sdr 12 d2 600rms/1200 peak sub I blew the sdr the first week well I'm sure the spider is lightly torn at the cone causing it to make a horrible noise at louder volumes so I bought a new sub which is a skar evl 12 1250rms and it's d4 so I wired it to 2ohm and it hits hard sounds great but I'm confused as if I should just get a 2nd evl d4 and wire them together down to 1 ohm or repair my d2 sdr and pair it with my d4 and use 1 coil of the evl since it's 1250rms and amp is 800rms and with them together get 1 ohm or just go with the rp-2000.1d amp and run it at 2 ohm with my d4 evl which would give me over 1000rms at 2 ohm instead of it being at 1ohm. I hope you or someone can help
im trying to wire 2x l7 solos 4ohm down to 2ohms finial
You cant wire two dual 4 ohm to 2 ohm, only 1 ohm final or 4 ohm final.
@@JacobViral2 how about just one. can 1 be wired down to 2ohm.our no. and i have a 2500.4 2ohm sound digital amp. if i wire the subs to 1ohm will this amp work.dont have any paperwork why im asking
and thanks for replying
@@jtsgarage2999 one dual 4 can do 2 ohm yes. I wouldn’t wire below min recommended ohm.
@@JacobViral2 your the man thanks
my gzch 5.0 m2 MB does 2800w RMS @ 4 ohm that should be plenty enough for those l712s
Can do do parallel /PARALLEL?
Ye long as not polarity issue, example?
Well explained
Thanks it’s a lot to learn
Paused @ 5:54. What if you are using a 4Ω stereo amplifier and not a monoblock.. Can't you get close to 4 ohm?
Depends on coil readings and if scv or dvc
To run four 4 ohm dvc into 1 ohm can’t u just wire them in pairs separately into 4 ohms then introduce them both to amp which will equal 1 ohm?
Your looking at half ohm or 2 ohm for 4 dvc 4 ohm subs on one amp.
Sir you might want to revise this and fix what your told tissue wrong on here once you bring each speaker to 2 and bridge that you get 1 ohm
Were u live at
South east coast 👍
Hey Jacob have a question for u..i set my sub amp gain at tuning frequency. Is it the good way. Thankss learn a lot from ur videos.
It can work yes.
EA
Thanks J........
Your welcome 👍
Interesting 💪💪💯💯
If I had a dollar everytime Jacob says.."if that makes sense"...lmfao great description of this topic...couldn't tell you how many suns have gone up in smoke cause they were wired wrong and outta phase
Better microphone brother and u would be great
Ohms law, yay!
I've got a monoblock amplifier which has 2 positive and 2 negative speaker terminals. Is there a specific way to wire your sub to these kinds of Amps or could I just choose any positive and negative to wire up to the sub. I've bought this amp second hand so I don't have access to the user manual. Please help
You are correct. It’s a mono block so they are connected on the inside of the amp. I personally wired each coil straight to the amp connecting the coils at the amp for no wire restrictions. Some people don’t understand that and think it’s overkill but the other 2 terminals were unused due to only one sub so I figured might as well 🤷🏻♂️
@@That_Car_Dude I shall give that a try. Just sceptical whether it would affect the ohms at which the sub will run at. Like for example if it's a dual 4 ohm wired to 2 ohms.
Jacob love your content,love that u n the wife go n do this together.that rocks! Jacob I need your help.I got the subs right doing my series parallel set up.but I'm having problems trying to do it with my mids & highs.I really need help.I have a diagram explaining my set up.

Hey man too much in one comment. What specifically is your question?
@@JacobViral2 No worries sry to bother u
@@CRXUGLYKID I’m glad to help just didn’t know what your asking
@@JacobViral2 I know my diagram explains the location of everything but can't post it
Can I send the diagram of my build to your Instagram so you can see my layout.n then I can explain better.I don't know the best way to run everything I have.if mids n highs should be separate or not.
Thats all common scense. These wiring diagrams are a dime a dozen on the internet. I understand the newbies need it explained to them slowly, clearly in laymen terms. Ive been wiring my subs in a way where you're amps will run in perfect unison. Instead of trying to explain it all, PLEASE! watch this vid: Search title: 'Gain-match multiple amps IDENTICALLY - With no meter or scope'. And questions about the wiring configurations, feel free to hit me up.
Thank you for calling us newbies lame,so learning is for lames hu?ok Mr no lame
@@eddiebecerra8578 I was teaching you a lesson. 'look it up yourself! Then look it up again. And again.Hey i just try Always trying to help. Create content. Grow. Me? long story. Peace my brother.
@@eddiebecerra8578 Why would I say learning is lame? I never said learning is lame if you don't learn you ain't going to get nowhere. I was a newbie at one time everybody was a newbie at one time. We all got to start somewhere. I'm 49. Just chill out, keep reading keep learning keep working at it If you don't like what somebody has to say to you you can either get mad or take it in as a learning experience (cause u know there's always gonna be haters) I wouldn't trying to hate on you I didn't even read to see what I actually posted that upset you. But like I said I meant no disrespect, I've been a bass head for about 30 years now. I remember my first system I had it wired up from the alternator and battery to the back with Jumper cable wires with the ends cut off. Sorry I offended you. Have a great Christmas.
My final load on my subwoofer is at 1 ohm. But when I measure it with the meter. It reads .5 ohm which cause my amp to shut off. Amp is 1 ohm stable. Please help!!
does it matter which combo of neg to pos bridge wire for 2 DVC 2 ohm for 2 ohm final??
(I bridged a POS to the NEG right next to it for both subs)(not the long wire to the far NEG from the POS)
Yes you have to make sure it’s not wired wrong or it can be wired wrong and out of phase.
@@JacobViral2 Thanks for replying back so fast.. So I'm thinking that's why it sounds so weird
Difficult to follow
Maybe your just difficult
Please stop talking rubbish I only want to know how to wire up a 15" 2ohm SCV Single Voice Coil subwoofer speaker to a speaker box
If you break down what he's saying in this video you'll know how to. This is far from rubbish, it's knowledge
