There is really no amplifier on the market which has an output impedance of 4 ohms. The impedance of an amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We do not use matching, we use bridging when we connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units".

Can you wire a dvc 2 ohm sub woofer to a dvc 4 ohm sub woofer?
You can, but you may damage your amp. If you wire them in parallel (both wires from each connected to the amp) then you will have an effective resistance less than 2 ohms. If you wire them in series then you will have an effective resistance of 6 ohms. Resistance that is too low draws more power than the output is rated for. Resistance that is too high reduces the volume and may distort the sound.
Can you wire a 2 channel amp to a dvc sub using one channel per coil?
if the sub can handle it yes....say if u have a 2000 watt amp 2 channel and u have a 2000 watt DVC sub then it will work but wouldn't advise doing that for great sound qulity
You have bridged kicker kx 200.2 What sub should you buy?
A Kicker cvr 10 or 12 inch DVC 4 ohm sub
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.
What sub should I get for a 1100 watt mono amp can I use two and wire them together how many watts should they be?
Depends on the rms or continuous rating of the amp and at what ohm is the amp stable
Your Amplifier for your 600 watt sub is cutting out The peak in the amp is 600 watts How do you get it to stop cutting out?
you ohm load is too low. raise the ohm load or buy an amp that is stable at the ohm level of the sub.
Wire 2 dvc 4ohm subs to 2 channel Amp-sub400rms4ohm amp 350x24 ohm rms 700x22 ohm rms 1400x1 4 ohm peak power Best way to set up?
This question makes little sense. Could you say what model amp it is? With two 4 ohm subs, you can either do 1 ohm or 4 ohm. Now if you have a bridgeable two channel, I think you can do a 2 ohm load. For a 4 ohm load, two 4 ohm subs, connect both positives from one side of the subs to the positive out. Then the negative coils from the opposite side (other side of the sub) to the negative output. Then connect the remaining negative and positive together on each subs. Look here http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp
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
Bridge two subs to a four channel amp?
If you amp is bridgeable you run + sub wire to ch 1 + then the -sub wire to the - of ch 2 of the amp. The same with the other sub + ch3 - ch4 that's how to bridge your amp.
What is the difference between a dual voice coil sub and a single voice coil sub?
Dual voice coil subwoofers are becoming a popular choice among car audio enthusiasts who want more flexibility in wiring their sound systems. While typical subwoofers have a single voice coil, dual voice coil (DVC) subwoofers use two separate voice coils, each with its own connections, mounted on one cylinder, connected to a common cone. The key difference between single and dual voice coil subwoofers is the multiple wiring options DVC subs offer: * Parallel: A dual 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer with its coils wired in parallel presents a 2-ohm load to your amplifier. Since an amplifier produces more wattage at a lower impedance, the parallel connection ensures you'll get the most output from your amp. In the same fashion, if you have a stereo amplifier and two DVC subs, wire both subs for 2-ohm impedance (one per channel) for maximum output. * Series: Series wiring lets you configure multiple woofers to one amplifier at an acceptable impedance. Wire both coils in series for an 8-ohm impedance, and then wire two 8-ohm subs together in parallel for 4-ohm total impedance (perfect for most 2-channel amps bridged to mono operation). Another example: if you have a high-powered 2-channel amplifier, wire four 8-ohm subs per channel (each channel sees a 2-ohm load). * Independent: You can wire each voice coil to a separate channel of your amplifier, if you prefer not to bridge your amp. Independent wiring is a nice option if you're wiring two DVC subs to a 4-channel amplifier - one voice coil per channel. Some amplifiers are designed with an unregulated power supply - these amps are favored by mobile audio competitors for their superior performance. An unregulated amp's power increases dramatically when it sees a lower impedance load. For example, an amplifier that produces 75 watts RMS x 2 channels at 4 ohms would double its power to 150 watts x 2 with a 2-ohm load. DVC subwoofers (particularly the dual 2-ohm models) give you the flexibility to wring every bit of power out of this type of amplifier. Also, if you choose to add an unregulated amp as a power upgrade to your existing DVC subwoofer system, you can simply rewire your subs for optimum impedance. Remember that most car amps are stable down to 2 ohms in normal operation, and to 4 ohms in bridged mode. It's important to check your amp's manual for its operating parameters before hooking up a DVC sub wired for low impedance! A DVC sub offers the same performance whether it's wired in series or parallel. Its power handling levels, frequency response, and other specifications do not change - the only difference is the impedance presented to the amplifier. As a result, you'll use the enclosure that's recommended for your sub, no matter how it's wired
Why does the comp cvr 12 have four places to put wires?
Because it has a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) which gives you more wiring options, eg. dual 2 ohm coils that let you wire in parallel for 1 ohm final, or in series for 4 ohm final load. You MUST use both of them for proper operation of you risk damaging the sub.
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!!!
