It depends on the impedance of the subs, whether they are single- or double-voicecoil (SVC or DVC), and the rated output impedance of the amp. If you've got two 8-ohm SVC subs and your amp is rated for a 4-ohm load, then you can put them in parallel. If you've got two 4-ohm SVC subs and your amp is only rated for a 4-ohm load, then you'll have to put them in series, even though you won't be able to extract maximum power from the amp. With DVC subs, you've got more flexibility to get an efficient match. In any case, you have to pay attention to polarity.

How do you hook two ten inch subs up to an amp then your car?
have Best Buy do it!
Can you hook up two subs to a mono channel amp?
yes all u have to do is bridge them together
Can you hook up two 700 watt subs to one 1000 watt amp?
Yes, but in order to do so you need to adjust the power going into each sub from the amp. It should be located on the back of the amp, but location varies by brand.
Can you hook both a subwoofer and speakers to 1 amp If so do I need to buy a amp that's even more powerful Then what the sub requires?
You can connect a sub and speakers to one amp, depending on how many channels your amp has. A 4 channel amp will be able to run one (or two) subs using two channels (one bridged* sub or two subs) and two speakers running one channel each. A 2 channel amp will run 2 speakers or one bridged sub. A 6 channel amp will run one bridged sub (or two subs), 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers. In my opinion, you will get the most performance, depending on which amps you use, by using a monoblock amp for your sub and an amp with enough channels to run all of your speakers. # Bridged = putting together the power of two channels to run one sub or speaker. Note: not all amps are bridgeable.
How do you bridge a car amp and speakers?
To bridge your amp you have to first look at your amp,find the speaker hook ups and it should say either on the top or the bottom [-------------bridge------------------]- + - +- +- +- after you find this you will have to run two sub woofers or one duel voice coil speaker to the positive side and one to the negative side of the bridge on your amp,you will connect the two positives of the two subs together and hook up to the positive side of the bridge and then the two negatives of the subs together to the negative side of the bridge,that will bridge your amp and speakers.Make sure that your amp can handle the new load, if it can't ,then it will start to cycle on and off.If that happens just run in stereo,not bridge mode.(Some amps will have a switch that you have to press to make it run in bridge)
Can you power one 12 inch sub and two 8 inch subs with one 1600watt mono amp?
That depends on the power ratings of the subs.
What happens if you hook up two subs to a mono channel amp?
If you hook them up you get a lousy sound cos the gigga bites in each dont get no where. You the bass is wicked but does not last for long cos the subs create holes so obviously the subs do not work and you have to fork out more so just dont be stupid and do that to your car.
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
Is 4000 watt amp too much for two twelves subs?
Not if subs are rated for 2000 watts each.
Can you hook up two subwoofers to one receiver?
yes, you can, either via a Y-cable to the sub output, or via a pre-amp, or hook them up parallel to a mono amp or if you have a 2 channel amp then just hook them up regurally but if you have a mono amp then...have two positive and two negative wires coming out of the amp then hook 1 negative wire up to the negative spot on a speaker..then do the same with the other..then do the same with the positive
Can a 800 watt amplifier push two 1052 watt subwoofers?
Yes the amp can push the 2 subs. I have 2 1250 watt 12inch subs and 1 maybe 400 or 500 watt amp and the amp does fine but if you want more bass at lower levels of volume then you want to have a bigger amp. Just make sure your amp doesnt blow your subs.
How do you connect two amps to four subs?
Run a 2 sub per amp set-up. Get a distribution block for you power wire to split the power wire. You can run the remote wire from your stereo to one amp and then from the amp to the other amp. you will also need 2 sets of RCA's Easy way is too get a 4 channel amp to power 4 subs.
