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.

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!!!


What will happen if you hook up a system and the amp rms is lower than the sub rms?

you could possibly kill your amp. because the subs are asking for a certain amount of power and your amp cant give the power. but typically the amp will push all its power avalible to the sub and you should be fine. but for the optimum sound system the amp rms should be the same or close to the sub rms.

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.


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
