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.

What size amp do i need for two 10 inch kicker comp's?

You could go with a 600 watt 2 ch amp or a 300 watt mono block amp, depends on what OHM the subs are, if they are 8 ohm you could wire them down to 4 ohm or if they 4 ohm u could wire them to 2 ohm, i have a 600.1 Boss amp and subs are wired together at 2 ohm and they BANG.


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


I HAVE A crunch 1000.1 AMP THAT im trying to push 1 punch p3 15 subwoofer how do i wire it?

If youre running a single woofer get the dual 2 ohm woofer. Wire them parallel, which will bring it down to 1 ohm when you put it on the amp. 1 ohm will pull the most power from the amp


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 wire 2 ohm amp at 175 watts to a 4 ohm subwoofer?

Theoretically yes. At 4ohms though, it will only be putting out about 88 Watts.


How do you convert an 8 ohm car audio amp to a 2 ohm car audio amp?

If 2 4 ohm subs were wired in series 2 equal an 8 ohm setup n you wire that in Parallel with another 4 ohm would it put out a 2.6 ohm load?

Yes, just make sure your amp can run at 2 ohms and you're fine.

If you have a 1000 watt 2 ch amp and 2 1000 watt G A 12's how do you set it to 1 ohm?

unfortionatly it alot more difficult than that. you first need to know if your subs are dual or single voice coil. then the ohm of the coils. your next step is to make SURE your amp is one ohm stable. (most are not) if your sub ohm will match you amp ohm. safely. its all in the wireing of the amp to the subs to change the ohms. if you dont know exactly how to wire them DONT DO IT yourself.


2 ohm stable amp can you wire up your four 4 ohm svc speakers too 2 ohm?

I think if you have 2 subs, you have to wire them in parallel so they are both loaded to 4 ohms, then the amplifier will see a 2 ohm load. what amp are yu using? im planning on getting a 2ohm stable class d mono amplifier for my 4 ohm DVC Subs. You need to wire both positives to one positive input and both negatives to one negative input for parallel wiring. That's what ive learned. Since your amplifier is stable at 2 ohms, you shud get a lot of power.


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.


I have two 1200 watt subwoofers for my car Do you need an amp and if so what size Will they affect your battery much?

First you will absolutely need an amp to power any subwoofers. Nowadays subwoofers come along with amp..& normally one 1200watt subwoofer decrease your car battery lifetime to 2-4 month
