You knocked it out with that video man. 4 hours I’ve been trying to figure out basically everything you covered! You definitely helped me understand and know how to check I wired it right! You by far have the best video out on this! Thanks and take care
I have 2 x 4 Ohm dual voice call subs and a 1 Ohm stable amp - I wasn't sure how to wire them up...then BOOM!! I found this video and answered all of my questions. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this very helpful video, much appreciated.
This is the best, most simple, very informative and straight to the point video I've seen on this topic. Easy to understand clear audio and video. Thanks!
JP, just ran across your youtube channel and I love your videos. My son and I are trying to install a touchscreen radio in his 2009 Chevy Silverado. Do you have any videos available specifically for the 09 Silverado?
Yesssssuh I sure do there are two types of dashes for that year th-cam.com/video/x7UxuUSg4Js/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/zEsWLtBNmQA/w-d-xo.html Either one of these should point you in the right direction
Why did you go to a 1 ohm load? What is the difference for wiring for 4,2,or a 1 ohm load? I know you get more power from the amp. I am super curious and I just don’t know. Thank you sir. Cool video.
Hey, i have a question. I just bought a dual 10 2 ohm subwoofers with a 2 ohm amp. How do i wire this for the amp to receive 2 ohms? 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.
stupid rookie amateur question but if you are taking away ohms from the speaker and reducing the load, doesn't that take away the power and or sound quality?
I have 2 1 ohm stable amps. With your same set up, would there be a way to run both amps with the 1 pre out terminal? Or should I just wire both subs, to their own amp and add a pre out to the other side of my box?
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.
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
i will say this is one of the best wire videos I have ever seen where I could actually catch on and understand ..I dnt know why I'm so slow on understanding car audio lol...Good video u have a new sub...
you not slow man. car audio is a very technical hobby with a lot of math and science involved so i try to make it easy to understand for the 1st timers
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
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.
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?
I have a one arm stable competition amplifier that I bought to go with these particular subs but I need someone to repair it. So I bought this other in the meantime.
I wire mine 2 4ohm to 1 ohm load only to not make the amp work hard either way it sound almost the same you can only get so much out of the wattage you have its physics when you try to push it .................. all falls apart RMS ALWAYS get the wattage you want at RMS its expensive but solid and dependable .. remember like your house the wire in these amps are rated at a certain amperage and voltage when try to push it like the wiring in your house fire and big problems
Man I need help. I've got 2 skar vd-10 d2, so 2 ohm subs. I've got the skar 1200.1 mono amp. I want to know if I need to use both voice coils or just one. Do I use both terminals on the box, or just one. Do I use both "channels" on the amp, or the "bridged" route. Help please
I used to be a sub to your channel but somehow I wasn't anymore 🙄. Either way, dude, this is such an excellent job explaining every detail! We appreciate you JP🙏
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
Yes ur rigjt .....but when u use one box u should explain what happens when u add another amp ....the same amp one each sub a peice no matter how close u gain match will be out of phase no matter hoe close u have the settings they could be exact the only way around this is to connect one voice coil to one amp and connect the other voice coil on the same sub to the other amp and u do the same thing to the other sub and the same two amps ur basically splitting all 4 voice coils equally between the amps instead of putting each sub on there OWN amp and they put each other into equal phase
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.
What if I want to run my subs at 4 ohms. How many watts need to be sent to 350 watt 4 ohm SVC sub at a 4 ohm load to make the sub knock ? Because I'm sending 500 x 1 @ 4 CEA compliant watts and it's not sounding as good as it did when it had 375 to 400 watts at 2 ohm load.
BRODIE ! No homo but where you been all my life ? 😂 Wish I seen this prior to me learning everything you just taught in the most time consuming n frustrating ways.. Got my sub. (No pun intended) 💪🏼🎵
Question, what if I have a chambered box and can't hook up my speakers together? Then both speakers happen to be single voice coils. I just hook up straight from the connector cups and put both sets into the amps single channel🤔
Dope vid, but can you show us how your wired your subs as well? My subs are fine but 1 sun isn’t thumpin like the other. I have then on separate terminals. But using 1 terminal seems better.
I have been trying to learn all this from various vids….the one piece of info I haven’t found is “why” why is it beneficial to wire in series or parallel? Is the goal to reduce resistance? Makes sense but why wire the other way? Anyone know? A scenario where you’d want resistance vs less?
old video but this is the best tutorial i’ve ever seen so far. Great info given that is essential to know prior to getting into wiring and sound systems
Hey I have a question bro. If my terminal connector is loose on the outside which the amp wires plug in will that cause my amp to go on and off when the bass hits ?
I watched alot.of complicated videos on how to parallel my subs and get them to one ohm out the box.. ur video made the most sense.. thank you for doing what u do!
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 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for this video!! I have had systems in every car I've ever owned, but I have never been this confused 😂 Thank you for simplifying this and using examples that actually make sense!!
Would you be able to take subs out of a prefab box (2 skar evl 12s dual voice coils) and wire em down to 2 ohm? I know this probably sounds like a dumb question, I’m just unsure since it’s prefab
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
I would get a 1000 watt amp and turn it down when they are connected together the watts is split up if your amp really has 600 watts of true power then yes it would be OK
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
Awesome I'm glad I was able to help. I have a training course coming soon and comments like this help me keep going cause I feel it will help so many others. Thank You
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
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
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
Hey bro, great upload, very informative, I needed this video. I see you have that D4sound prefab box for 10's, what's your take on them. I just brought 4 E-Series 10's V4's along with the SIA-3500 amp, I really don't want a $500 custom box, the subs are for my Big Rig, 2 of the budget boxes will work. What cha say about that box? 🤔
I am pretty happy with the performance of the box for real it bangs especially for 2 10s I bought another one for 2 6.5 inch subs and it's very efficient
Awesome video man I really appreciate it I don't know why but I'm having an issue with three of the wires not fitting into the input on the speaker I think I'm doing something wrong also was wondering where you got the box I looked at down for sound and could not find it
shouldnt be 3 wires going into any sub. series each sub and parallel the rest you can literally hook it up how i have in this video these subs are dual 4 and we end up with 1 ohm at the amp
i love ya videos. what’s your input on getting a more powerful amp than the rms of your box but running the amp at a higher ohm but giving the amount of power it can handle. for example 2 dual voice coil 12s 2500 rms on a 5k amp at 2 ohms 3200 watts
Is the rms 2500 total for both 12s or 2500 each 12. So you run both subs at 2ohms and push a 5k which does 3200 rms to the subs at 2ohms? Am I understanding that correctly?
@@jptheinstallguy would it play better quality than 1ohm 3k watts. for an example putting 3k to a 1000 watt sub is overpowering, it’ll play but that don’t it’s giving good quality bass. i’m trying to figure out what’s the best way to wire and will choosing a higher power amp with breathing room will affect how it plays
You lost me at "ohm".. 😖
Try meditating on it: ohmmmmmmmmmm

Ay question , if the box i have has 2 terminal cup how do I still parallel wire inside the box ?
stupid rookie amateur question but if you are taking away ohms from the speaker and reducing the load, doesn't that take away the power and or sound quality?
What if I’m wiring 4 speaker 2 separate boxes can I connect the second set of subs to the first set of subs
Bro, can we use difference size of wire for a jumper, lets say 12 gauge from the woofer to the amp, 14 gauge as a jumper from woofer to woofer.....
Okay but than how do you connect it to the amp? You should’ve showed that part , or atleast Yoir set up, I have a 2 Chanel amp and 2 subs
Man I’ just bought my dual 2 ohm ctsounds subs I’m just trying to figure how to keep it at 2 ohms instead of doing 0.5 half an ohm
series them first then parallel them that will raise the ohms to 4ohms each and parallel them back down to 2ohms

For subs you want to have the same signal going to both, so connecting them to separate channels could create a problem
I prefer two wire set from sub. It will lower the ohm to one ohm at amp. More wire less heat.
I have a one arm stable competition amplifier that I bought to go with these particular subs but I need someone to repair it. So I bought this other in the meantime.

What's the difference between dual voice and single voice coil
Stupid question but what wires do you use for wiring the sub to the terminals is that speaker wire?
thats a good question. yes i use speaker wire you can use 16 gauge 14 gauge or 12 gauge for most subs
Would you be able to take subs out of a prefab box (2 skar evl 12s dual voice coils) and wire em down to 2 ohm? I know this probably sounds like a dumb question, I’m just unsure since it’s prefab
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
You can do the same thing for 3 that 4 ohm dvc subs right to get a 1ohm load
This video definitely helped. Thank you
I have 2 4 ohm svc 12’s. My 2 channel amp can be bridged to one channel at 4ohms. Will that work if so how do I wire the subs together?
with 2 4 ohm svc subs your wire options are 2ohms in parallel or 8ohms in series might be better to wire each sub to each individual channel
Question if I have 2 subs at 300watt each do I need a 600 watt amp to run both of them?
I would get a 1000 watt amp and turn it down when they are connected together the watts is split up if your amp really has 600 watts of true power then yes it would be OK
So what if I have 2dual 2ohm ?
this video may help th-cam.com/video/yfw5mQuUVj0/w-d-xo.html all the wiring options in this video
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
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

Awesome I'm glad I was able to help. I have a training course coming soon and comments like this help me keep going cause I feel it will help so many others. Thank You
What the best loud ohm to run great video
best vid I’ve seen so far deep explanation and makes sense
What if one is dual 2 and the other sub dual 4 what can happen if you still wire them together
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
Can you run your negative and positive wires right to terminal cup instead of using another line to run from cup to woofer
yea sure they way i use is just easier to me but that will work as well
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
@JPtheinstallguy So could you wire two single voice coils together?
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
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
Bridge amplifier brother...
I would get a second amp and run 2 subs each on each amp
what happens if you dont wire them like this and wire them using just one side of the sub?
You will probably mess the voice coil up on the sub both sides need to be hooked up

Is the rms 2500 total for both 12s or 2500 each 12. So you run both subs at 2ohms and push a 5k which does 3200 rms to the subs at 2ohms? Am I understanding that correctly?
@@jptheinstallguy yes that’s correct, 2500 rms together 1250 each one. and yes that’s what i’m trying to do, and find out if this a good way to go
@E Rich perfectly fine ill do a quick and a video soon to explain more but yes it's OK to do this be a little careful on the gain
@@jptheinstallguy would it play better quality than 1ohm 3k watts. for an example putting 3k to a 1000 watt sub is overpowering, it’ll play but that don’t it’s giving good quality bass. i’m trying to figure out what’s the best way to wire and will choosing a higher power amp with breathing room will affect how it plays
