How do you wire a dual voice coil 2 ohm sub at 2 ohms?

connect the both positive terminals together and both negative terminals together. use a multimeter to check any positive and negative terminals


How do you wire one 4ohm sub?

You can't. Two 4 ohm speakers in parallel equal 2 ohms, and two in series equal 8 ohms. It is possible to wire four 4 ohm speakers so that the load is 4 ohms though. Put two in series (8 ohms). put the other two in series (8 ohms). Then put the two sets in parallel (two 8 ohm sets in parallel equal 4 ohms).


What is difference between 2 ohm and 4 ohm sub-woofers?

It is the impedence (coil resistence)normally sub component (drivers)are in 8 ohms impedence.2 in parralel is 4 ohms and 4 in parralel makes it 2 ohms.


Can you connect 2 amps to run a subwoofer?

If your sub is 2 ohms and your amp is 2 ohm stable, your done. Your amp will be at 2 ohms because the sub is 2 ohms.


Will a 540 Watts x 1 RMS 4ohms Amplifier be suitable for a sub rated at 380 watt RMS with 4ohms plus 4ohms dual coil?

The problem you have there is that your sub woofer needs both coils wired and your options with that setup is either 2 ohms or 8 ohms depending on if you wire the sub itself in series or parallel. If you use a second sub like the first one and wire both subs in parallel and then wire the two subs in series you can achieve 4 ohms. You could also wire the subs in series ( 8 ohms each ) and then wire them in parallel to achieve the overall 4 ohms.


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.


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.


Will running 2 ohm with 4 ohm dual voice coil sub woofers in parallel cause problems to the speakers or sound quality?

The purpose of dual voice coils is to offer more wiring options. To answer your question we would also need to know how many woofers, and therefore how many voice coils, are involved in this equasion. For wiring guides, check http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp. As long as you don't wire at a lower ohm load than your amp can handle [ex. wiring to 1 ohm when your amp is only 2 ohms stable] or wire for more power than your woofers can handle, or allow for too much distortion to be played through the woofer, there should be no damage to your equipment. Distortion will damage your woofer before overpowering will. Ohms are a measurement of resistance to electricity and so the higher the ohm load, the lower the power. If you wire an amp to play speakers at 4 ohms, the speakers will receive less power than if they were being played by the same amp at 2 ohms. Off the top of my head, the Kenwood KAC-9103d pushes 500 watts rms at 4 ohms and 900 watts rms at 2 ohms. The trade off is that while the lower ohm loads offer more power, they come with more distortion as well. Have fun.


How do you wire dvc 4 ohm sub to 4 ohm amp?

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".


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.


Set up 2 4 ohm sub to 2 ohm?

If you are trying to pump a 2.4 ohm sub with a 2 ohm rated amplifier you should be fine. The rating on the amplifier is the least resistance it should have on its load. Anything less than 2 ohms would fry your amp.
