How do you wire a dual voice coil to an amp?

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.

When connecting a dual voice coil subwoofer to a mono amp what is the best way to connect the subwoofer to the amplifier?

To connect a dual voice coil subwoofer to a mono amplifier, the best method is to wire the voice coils in parallel if the amplifier supports the resulting impedance. This configuration will lower the overall impedance, allowing the amp to deliver more power to the subwoofer. If the amp cannot handle the lower impedance, you can wire the coils in series, which will increase the impedance but reduce the power output. Always check the specifications of both the subwoofer and amplifier to ensure compatibility.

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.

How do you install two amplifiers into a subwoffer?

its better to get one amp for you sub then 2 because your going to have to spend more money with wiring and stuff. But if you really wanna do it you have to wire one voice coil to the other one and same for the other amp but if you have one voice coil you have to split the wiring into 2 neg and 2 pos then wire upto amp. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED

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.

How would you hook up 2 8 ohm woofers with a 4 ohm dual voice coil woofer?

You could with a 4 channel amp. Bridge it to two channels and hook up the two 8 ohm woofers in parallel on the one bridged channel. Then hook the two coils on the dual coil woofer in series with the other bridged channel on the amp.

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.

How do you wire an amplifier to 2 subs?

Mono amp: hook up 2 wires to the positive speaker output, and 2 wires to the negative speaker output. Hook the positives up to the positive leads on the subs, and the negatives to the negatives. Stereo amp: one positive wire to each positive output on the amp, same with negative. Make sure you get corresponding positive and negative to each sub. Stereo amp running bridged (mono): It's normally the outter positive and negative leads, but refer to the manual. Wire same way as a mono amp, just use the bridge outputs. Mono or Bridged would be running 2 ohms if you are running single coil subs. Stereo would be 4 ohms. If you have a dual coil sub (such as Kicker Comp VR), you would want to run stereo because those subs run 2 ohm's stock do to the dual voice coils. Or 1 amp per sub unless you have a 1 ohm stable amp, which most likely you don't.

Do the watts split if you connect more than one speaker to an amp channel?

First if you are talking about normal speaker (not subwoofer), I would not recomend doing that. There is different ways to connect multiple speaker to one amplifier chanel. You could wire it in serie or in parralel. If your are talking about dual voice coil or more than 2 speaker, there is even more possibility to wire two or more speaker to one channel. Now if you are talking about single voice coil subs, in a perfect situation, by wiring them in parralel, the wattage should not get lower but the impedence will be divided by the number of sub you hook up. You will need to make sure the amp can support a lower impedance.

How do you wire monoblock amp to one single voice coil sub?

Unless you have some kind of different set up or amp, a monoblock amp should have just 2 terminals. A positive and a negative. Your single voice coil should also only have 2 terminals, a positive and a negative. If this is your setup, just connect positive to positive and negative to negative. It's that simple. If you have a dual voice coil there is more involved regarding ohms (resistance) but in a mono to single v/c, it's pretty straight forward. You might also check the amps on the monoblock vs the speaker. Your monoblock will probably be either 2 or 4 ohms. Your speaker could be 2, 4 or 8. If your speaker is 4 ohms then a 2 or 4 ohm output from the monoblock will work. If you have any other combination, do more research.

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

What does a inductive ammeter do?

It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
