Can you hook up two 8 ohm svc subwoofers to a one channel amp?

If you connect two 8 ohm speakers to the average car amp, then yes, probably. Most car amps can handle a 4 ohm load, which is what it would be.

How do you wire 2 8 ohm subwoofers to a 4 ohm amp?
Hook all the negatives together, and hook all the positives together. you would have 2 wires for each. one from the amp to the first sub, and another going from the first sub to the second.
Can you run two eight inch subwoofers requiring 50-100 watts of power each running at 4 ohms with a 2 channel 4 ohm amp putting out 75 watts per channel without damaging the subwoofers or the amp?
Yes
How would you hook up 2 8 ohm woofers with a 4 ohm dual voice coil woofer?
You could with a 4 channel amp. Bridge it to two channels and hook up the two 8 ohm woofers in parallel on the one bridged channel. Then hook the two coils on the dual coil woofer in series with the other bridged channel on the amp.
Can you overload a channel on a amp?
Yes you can burn a channel on an amp. Which is do to a overload. Like a 2 ohm load on an amp that is not 2 ohm stable. Will burn out a channel or both channels.
What is the differences in a 1 channel amp and a 2 channel amp?
when you connect the rcas to a 1 channel (mono) amp. the signal from the left rca and right rca is combined to give you a mono signal. that signal is then amplified and sent out through the one channel. a 2 channel amp will send the signal from the left rca to one channel and the signal from the right to the other channel. mono amps are usually used to power subwoofers. 2 channel and 4 channel amps are usually used to power speakers 5 channel amps are usually ment to power speakers plus a subwoofer/subwoofers 2 channel amps are also used to power subwoofers in different situations. if you have one subwoofer with a 4 ohm impendance your better off powering that sub with a 2 channel amp instead of a mono amp. this is because you can "bridge" the 2 channels for this sub which will put a 2 ohm load on each channel. which theoretically means it will put out twice as much power as it would compared to if it had a 4 ohm load on each channel. this means that you can buy a less powerful amp which will be cheaper for you, and also smaller, so it will take up less space.. a big bonus in car audio. bridging is simply using both channels for one load (sub/s), this is done by connecting the pos. wire to the pos. output of one channel and connecting the neg. wire to the neg. ouput of the other channel. pretty much every amplifier in production nowadays is bridgable.
What will happen if a hook up an 8 ohm sub to a 4 ohm amp?
The sound quality won't be very good
I have a 2 channel nitro amp 2000watts amp and it always gets hot after 10min. it's been hooked it up to several cars and it's the only amp that gives trouble every other amp works fine?
If it's running so hot you can't touch it, in most cases it will be due to either the way the speakers are hooked up or the impedence of the speakers. You can incresse the resistance to the amp to have it run cooler by connecting speakers in series or getting speakers with a higher ohm rating. The lower the resistance (2 ohm, 4 ohm, 8 ohm) the more current flows though the amp making it hotter. Remember if you hook multiple speakers in parallel it will cut the resistance in half. So if you connect speakers that are 4 ohm to the same channel you are running at 2 ohm. Check your amp's ratings.
Can you hook up a 4ohms sub and a 2ohms sub to the same amplifier?
ONLY if your amp can pull a 2 ohm load! Which is vary few but your more expensive amp can pull 1/2 ohm load
3 bass cabinetsone 8 ohmthe other two are 4 ohmthe bass amp a minimum of 2 ohmwith two outputshow to hook them up?
As I understand the question, if there are two output channels: Attach the three 8-ohm cabinets in parallel to one channel and the two 4-ohm cabinets in parallel to the other channel; this will give you two ohms for each channel.
Will 8 ohm sub woofers work with a 4 ohm amp?
if you put 2, 8 ohm speakers together on the same channel you will trick the amp into seeing a 4 ohm load, it is not advisable to run a 8 ohm coiled speaker on a 4 ohm amp unless you do the above. So if you want to run 2 8 ohm speakers from a 4 ohm amp this will work the best although the amp will need to be hefty as its worse to underpower a sub than overpower it! I have used a 8 ohm speaker myself on a car amp and had no problems but it was not a cheap entry level amp! some amps will take it, others will get hot and enter protection mode. Hope this helps!!!
How big should the amp be to two 12 subwoofers?
What you need to know is the RMS power rating and ohms of the subwoofer. (Example; RMS is 300 watts and it is a 2 ohm sub. This is what you would need. You have 2 subs so a total of 600 watts. So you want an amp with a max power rating of 600 watts, but he is the tricky part. They were 2 ohm subs. So your amp needs to be 2 ohm stable. No there all not 90% of amps are only 4 ohm stable.)
Can you hook 2 subs to a mono amp?
Sure i have 2 400 watt rockfords connected to a 400watt kenwood mono amp. This statement made by another is true.You can hook up 20 subs to a mono amp; BUT you have to configure the speakers by impedance/ohms. if you hook two 2 ohm speakers to a 4 ohm steady amp in parallel you will soon buy a new amp. if you hook 10 speakers in series you will not even get it warm. Each speaker will also divide the available wattage and will not have a lot of power. Take it to a good shop if you don't know the formula for this. you may save your amp. BMyers Lake city, FL
