Two four ohm speakers in parallel is two ohms. Make sure the amp is rated for that load impedance, or you could damage it.

How do you wire amp to 1 ohm load?

need more info but I'll give it a shot and hope i answer your question. You will need one of the following to get your desired ohm load: 1- single voice coil at 1 ohms 2 - single voice coil at 2 ohms wired + to +, - to - 2 - dual voice coil at 4 ohm all wired + to +, - to - so that you only have 2 wires conected to the amp. hope this helps.


What do you set your amp to for 2 12 subs?

to mono if your amp will allow, also this is for single voice coil. otherwise run in mono parallel to run dual voice coils.


What does the term dual voice coil mean in regards to car audio speakers?

AnswerDual Voice Coil in regards to subwoofers means there is 2 positives and 2 negatives. Its just used to wire up different ohm levels. Like if u have a subwoofer that are dual voice coil @ 4 ohms then u can parallel or series wire it to become Single Voice Coil @ 2 ohms. Google the word Series Wiring or Parallel Wiring for examplesAlso this type of speaker is one of the few that can be connected to 2 different amplifiers at the same time and still work properly. One coil is connected to the car stereo and the other coil is connecter to my scanner.


How many channels do you need to power my subwoofer?

mono or two channel are the best for subs but it depends on if your sub is dual voice coil or single voice coil, what ohm load the amp can handle, and if it is single voice coil and are using one sub you need to make sure you can bridge a 2-channel amp if that's the kind you chose... Next question you ask it may help to add a bit more detail. If I knew the sub brand and model, ohms, and if it's dual or single voice coil i could help answer that much better.


Can you replace a dual voice coil speaker with a single coil and how do you wire it?

If you are going to replace a dual with a single you need to look up bridging it would be some thing like "{Right +}{Left -}


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


Can you run a single 2ohm dual voice coil sub and a single 4ohm DVC sub off a single mono amp?

It depends on the amplifier. If you absolutely want to leave the current subwoofer configuration as 2ohm and 4ohm, the resultant impedance seen by the amplifier is as follows: Both wired In-Series: 2ohm + 4ohm = 6 ohms Both wired In-Parallel: 1 / ( (1/2) + (1/4) ) = 1.3 ohms The Parallel configuration can probably be only run by a 1ohm-stable amplifier whereas the 6ohm Series configuration can be run by any amplifier that is able to drive anything under 6 ohms. Also if ran in the Parallel configuration, this mismatch in driver impedance may also cause the 2ohm subwoofer to receive more power, resulting in a different sound characteristics than the 4ohm subwoofer. Usually with DVC subwoofers you want to match the impedance between drivers. If possible, configure each subwoofer to 4ohms and connect them in Parallel. This will produce a total impedance of 2 ohms (you need a 2ohm-stable amplifier). If your DVC subwoofers only support 2ohms and 8ohms do either: Both wired In-Series - configure subwoofers to 2ohms: 2ohms + 2ohms = 4ohms Both wired In-Parallel - configure subwoofers to 8ohms: 1 / ( (1/8) + (1+8) ) = 4ohms.
