If i wire in series, the subwoofers will be played at 4 ohms but if i run them parallel then i would have 1 ohm going to the amp. Can i just run 2 1 ohm subs to my 2 ohm amp and itll be okay? If not, how should i go about wiring it? Sorry for the loaded question, i just really need some help.

    The box I've got already has 2 speaker wires coming from the terminal cup and I've got 2 8s dual 2ohm and I want to wire them parallel. So do I need to remove 1 of the speaker wires from the terminal cup or could I just cap/tape it off? Also the wires have been soldered to the terminal cup. I'd appreciate the advice you could provide me, thanks in advance.

  • @thomasvalha7128
    @thomasvalha7128 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So just a question with wiring your drivers together in the box and one wire to the amp from the terminal cup.
    Well first off, I personally skip the whole terminal cup. Drill a small hole in the DIY box straight wire to the amp=less resistance.
    So you wired the subs together to create the 1ohm load to the amp. Let’s say something goes wrong (it happens sometimes with electric) how would you isolate the issue, what ever it may be, besides taking a guess and potentially having to pull both subs. Wire both subs to 2 ohm, no cup, and both subs wires meet at the amp on the same terminal, positive with positive and you have your 1 ohm.

    • @jptheinstallguy
      @jptheinstallguy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea there's nothing wrong with doing it that way, I guess I just don't mind pulling the subs I since I install everyday. But also depending on the amp you may not have the proper terminals to put 2 pairs of wire in the same terminal and if your using a nice gauge wire it could be an issue

  • @maniacalmonster2293

    Is it possible to connect 2 dual coil 12inch kickers and a single voice coil 12inch JBL to a 3000w monoblock amplifier? If not what's the best way to wire something like that

    • @jptheinstallguy
      @jptheinstallguy  ปีที่แล้ว

      I probably would just wire the 2 kickers and leave the jbl sub alone. You technically can do it but if each had their own enclosure and all the resistances ended up being the same but it's nothing that I would try.

      depends on what the ohm impedance is on the subs. you can wire subs anyway you want wither they came in a prefab box or not but just make sure your amp can handle the ohm load if its dual voice coil subs then they need to be dual 2ohm subs if its dual 4ohm subs then your only options is 4 ohm or 1 ohm

    Hey JP, I need some help brother. I have 4 DVC,4 ohm subs. I have a 2 ohm amp. How do I wire the subs for a 2 ohm load at the amp? Thank you in advance

      I would get a second amp and run 2 subs each on each amp

    What if my box has two terminal cups and a divider?

    Sorry they are 12 in MTX 55 series dual voice coil 4 ohm subs trying to get a 1 ohm to the amp

    So there is no way to wire 2 2 or 1 Ohms dvc to a Two Channel 1 ohm amp

    Appreciate the share cause i've been wondering how to wire the 4ohm to 1ohm since my amp is a 1ohm or 2ohm

  • @jeffcharls9863
    @jeffcharls9863 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    @JPtheinstallguy So could you wire two single voice coils together?

    • @corycmb111
      @corycmb111 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes if they are 4 ohm you wire the 2 together and that makes it 2 ohm just as long as your amp is 2 ohm stable

    How can I get a final 1ohm load if my sub box has two final terminals

    • @vonte22
      @vonte22 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      U ignore one of the terminals…just bring it through either terminal u choose

    • @jptheinstallguy
      @jptheinstallguy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      a few different ways wire each sub to each terminal cup then run 2 pairs of wires to the amp, wire subs inside the box and go to 1 terminal cup and then run it to the amp

  • @kcjimenez10
    @kcjimenez10 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What if one is dual 2 and the other sub dual 4 what can happen if you still wire them together

    • @jptheinstallguy
      @jptheinstallguy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The ohm load at the amp soul be odd but I never tried it. It could work but they are still 2 different subs when it comes to the parameters so I don't advise

  • @octoberentertainment

    I now understand an 8 ohm and 2 ohm load. but It still doesn't make sense to a mind like mine.Like how does the subs hit harder daisy linked to one channel than instead of each sub wired to it's own seperate channel?

    • @sobbingmonkey128
      @sobbingmonkey128 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For subs you want to have the same signal going to both, so connecting them to separate channels could create a problem

  • @will1867
    @will1867 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So if you have two 6.5 speakers, one subwoofer and a 2 channel 600watt amp that can bridge can't I just bridge the sub and connect the other 2 speakers the normal way? Or will that not work

  • @CharlesK441
    @CharlesK441 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great explanation 👌 👍🏾 👏🏾
    I have 2 x 2ohm dvc subs. My amp is 1ohm stable but with my subs I can't get 1ohm to the amp. I have been advised to either buy a more powerful amp, or a second identical amp and send one speaker at 1ohm to each amp. Just not sure how to match volume and filters to achieve this 🤔 . The amp I have can be daisy chained.
    Any thoughts?
    Subbed.... pardon the pun 🇬🇧

    • @MrILLryder
      @MrILLryder ปีที่แล้ว

      Wire it to 0.5 ohm. But in the video he wired dual 2 ohm subs in parallel to get a 1ohm load at the amp.

  • @gp4life055
    @gp4life055 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My subs work tested on another amp but i cant get them to work on my amp i have a feeling my wires going from my sub to amp is too thin but i dont know

    • @jptheinstallguy
      @jptheinstallguy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      well if your subs work fine on a different amp then the original amp may have a few issues. do you have an aftermarket radio or factory radio
