I wired my subs to my girls nipple piercings @ 1ohm when she was sleeping...and now I'm single. Can you tell me how to re-wire my subs back up to get my girl back? Thanks man, you're a real life saver.
let me make it simple, plug all positives terminals together with the same red wire straight to the amplifier. Now do the same with a negative terminals using black or silver wire.
You can fit whatever subs your enclosure can fit, and thus whatever enclosure will fit in your vehicle. Two 12" subs facing up will have great linear movement, there should be no problems with that setup.
GFCyadigg: if each sub is 800w rms you need an amp that pushes about 1600w rms. dont worry about peak power. that is just for short bursts of bass and you amp would be able to do that. but you need an amp anywhere from 1000w rms to 1600wrms. try not to get an amp over 1600w rms because you can mess up your subs
I had 2 cvr 15s rated 500 rms each, they were dual 4 ohm subs I had them wired individually in parallel on a 2 channel hifonics 1606d so they were wired down at 2 ohms that thing hit
You could wire the Dual 4 ohm subs in parallel to get them to a 1 ohm load, that would be the ticket. We have wiring guides on our website and the manual for your product should also have wiring guides.
Hmm. I have a dual sealed box and need to wire my subs up like shown in video. I guess I need to drill I small hole in the piece of wood between each sub so I can feed the wires through?
So lets say those are 500 watt rms rated subs and you wired them directly to a 1000 watt monoblock amp@1ohm. Each of those subs would be getting 500 watts each even though they are connected with only one wire to the monoblock amp correct?
The manual should help you. Two terminals means the amplifier will internally bridge your connection. In most cases, just use one positive and one negative terminal.
Your subs are perfectly fine. The reason the sub closest to the port is louder is because its sucking/hogging all the air from the port so there is less air getting to the sub farther away from the port. you need to fix up your box so it get air evenly or get a new one.
I recently just purchased Dual EVL 12” 5000 watt Loaded Enclosure kit, costing 800$ Would it be a good or bad idea to use this method in your video on these subs? Respond ASAP please!!
You Dual 4 ohm subwoofers need to be wired in parallel to see a 1 ohm load at the amplifier. This would be the optimum wiring configuration. Find that woofer on our website and we have a wiring tab that will show you how to do it. As the the enclosure, you can drill a hole through that wall and run your wire through it, so long as you seal it back up.
hey sonic i followed this guide but i have a question. Does the length of the jumpers from one sub to the other sub make a difference? I have a ported box and I'm wiring them down to 1 ohm but the jumper will be like 4 feet long. is that okay?
You will need to bridge the amplifier and then wire the subs in series to a 4 ohm load, that way both the amp and subs are at a 4 ohm load. Do not wire it like you see it here, wire it in series.
The easiest thing to do is drill a hole in the box to connect the two woofers with wire inside and just use one set of terminals. If not, you can wire the woofers together once outside the box and then take that right to the amp, but it is not a clean option.
I had my subs wired a different way prior to doing this I can say there is more viberating in the trunk but I don’t know about bass. Doesn’t make a lot of sense reading it but if you where in my car you’d understand
So if you originally have 2 svc 4 ohm 12” subs rated at 150w rms on a 2 channel amp. If you wire it in parallel at 2 ohm would it still require the same amount rms or more?
Don't mix amplifiers so put one subwoofer on each channel of the 1200W amplifier. Make sure you set your gain correctly on the amplifier so you don't hurt the subs.
so basically this means i just need one positive negative terminal on my box........would it be possible to have 2 terminals on the box and get the same 1 ohm load?
You drill a small hole in the box wall between the two chambers and feed your wire through, then seal it up. However, if your sub amplifier has 4 terminals, you can wire each sub to a pair of terminals which will simplify wiring at the box.
Joshua Wagener how do you get 3000w? 750+750=1500, therefor you need a mono block amp rated at 1500rms x1 @1ohm.. then 1500rms going to (2) subs, so 1500/2=750rms
What if I have two 4 ohm DVC subs and wire the voice coils together then to the box terminal of both but then bridge the 2 terminals on the way to the amp ... Does that give it a final impedance of one ohm ?
This is to SonicElectronix. I recently ordered a Lanzar Optidrive 2001d 2000-Watt Amp with 2 Q Power 3400-Watt Deluxe DVC 4 Ohm 12-Inch Subwoofers. Should I do 4 Ohm to 2 Ohm or this particular method here, which is 4 Ohm to 1 Ohm?
Man, I'd love to have a good set of NVX dual 2 ohm DVC 15s. I have a set of Sundown Audio SA12-D2 subs in a divided box with two Aeroport 12"x6" ports on a Sundown SAI-1750D amp in my Beemer that runs at 1 ohm and they pound, but I just bought a cheap set of Rockville W15K9D4 subs that I plan on wiring down to 1 ohm as well with a 2.1 cubic foot 38 hz divided sealed box and I'm excited to hear if there's a difference in my 1 series BMW. I had to REALLY make the box fit and it fills my fairly large trunk while the dual 12" box fits easily. It's just been a while since I had a couple 15s.
Okay if I have 2 4ohm speakers at 400rms and run it at a 1 ohm final impedance does that mean it will be 1ohm 200rms...just tryna figure if a 1ohm is better then the 800rms at 4ohms
Ok so I have a dual port mono block amp. I have 2 Alpine Type E subwoofers. How can I wire the subs for 1 ohm when there is 2 ports between the 2 sub enclosure. Should I drill a hole ? So only one wire for both subs comes out of box ?
I have question I have mines parallel but somehow when I turn the gain up it starts to clip , I’m running two 2500 watt DB Drive Wdx12 subs on a Taramp MD 3k
I just bought a box and on the box that has four terminals two positive two negative I checked ohmmeter and each connection is four ohm now how would I wire that down to one ohm to my app which is a sundown Sae1500
I drilled a hole in the middle of my box so I can get the wires tho. Put it on my right side. So I’ll just have to use one output on my amp for the - an + to push both of my subs.
what amp would I need for a these exact setup the subs being 600 watts each. would I need a amp capable of 600 watts or an amp capable of 1200 to power both?
1200. Watts required doubles as you add the speakers. The power is split evenly across the load. If you ran a 600w amp across both, it would only be pushing 300w and also probably cause your amp to over heat with the speakers demanding more from a less supply.
ok thank you i wasn't guna mix them i was just wondering if it would be fine to hook either one..and is it fine to wire them this way or any other way that you have shown and then bridge it?
Ok so I have a ported box with no holes in the middle to run the wires is it ok if I drill a small hole in the seperator so I can run the wires from speaker 1 into speaker 2 or will it mess anything up?
I have a Mono amp from RF and it has 2+ and 2- I wired the first positive to the first set on the amp and the - to the 2nd sub. And did the same for the other 2 wires. Is that correct?
So what coil do we connect to the amp ?? Do we connect coil 1 to coil 2 x coil 2 to coil 1 and iim guessing it don’t matter what speaker 🔈 do we connect to the amp.. do happend to know what amp will make 2 kicker L7 15 4ohm bump pretty good they going on a crew cab s10
What if your wiring subwoofers in an enclosure with two sets of speaker binding post? I have 2 dual 1 ohm subs an the wiring diagram that came with the is different. I have each sub wired as you do here but straight to each binding post. Giving 0.5 ohm per sub. Then running 2 positive an 2 negative leads from a single channel mono block amp. Wouldn't that read as a 0 ohm load to the amp? Should I be using a jumper from one terminal to the other on the speaker enclosure?
so the last two leads go to the box terminal. On my box theres two terminals on the box (one on each side of the box) So if i did this would i just leave the other side alone and not connect any wires to it? basically just run all the wires through one side of the box and then to the amp?
NY Yankee We recently did a Q&A about wiring two subs in an enclosure with separate chambers / two terminal cups. That might give you a clear answer. But yes, do all your wiring at the subs and use one terminal or can use both terminals.
Wow I just checked the site that is really useful! Just curious, I have two Jl audio 8w3v2's hooked to a JL 250/1v2 mono amp, which is better connecting for 4ohm or 1 ohm? Is there a sound difference?
I have 2 dvc 4 ohm 12's in a slot ported box with port on one side. Its wired exactly as shown and the sub closest to the port plays louder. Its most noticeable at low volume. Do I have a bad sub?
Such as sub one bridge together then out one box terminal then same thing for the other sub but out the other box terminal and then from the terminal run the wire to an amp but bride the wires at the amp because it's a mono block amp
Hello I have 2 speakers 4ohm each, connected parallel in separate sub box...then from one terminal of the box I wire it to the other terminal of the other box positive to positive & negative to negative, then from one terminal of the sub box to my amp do I have what you just did in the video??? I’m not sure if that makes sense lol.
I'm looking to get subwoofers that are designed with dual 4 ohm voice coils, for an 8 ohm or 2 ohm configuration. Is it possible to configure them in the way this video shows to a monoblock amplifier? If not, what's the best way to get the full 600 watts of RMS (x's 2) from the subs?
Hi my homie ordered a hifonics zues 1200 watt amp and we hooked two dual 4 subs to 1 ohm and the amps bass knob turns red when its hitting real hard? does this mean something in the wiring is off? i made sure everything was good the only thing i could think of is that the car is too old to take the amps power because it was dimming very hard. have you ever heard of this issue?
Hmm.. Well, I connected both subs to the box.. So would that matter if I just leave the one side disconnected from the amp? The voice coils are right beside eachother, not one on each side, so its a little different than the video.
By series, I take it you mean wired in series vs. parallel. If you have a dual coil 4 ohm sub, you can make it an 8 ohm sub (assuming the amp you have takes that and won't go lower) by wiring the positive on one coil to the negative on the other coil and doing the same with the other side, wire the remaining negative to the positive of the other coil. This will but the coils in series, doubling the impedance of the speaker. Some may ask why you would want to do this since most amps run 4 ohms down to 1 ohm. Think about really high power amps...thousands watts amps...and you want to run a lot of subs to that (those) amp(s)...electronic theory states that if you run impedances in series, they double the impedance, but running in parallel cuts the rated impedance in half. Hence, running two 4 ohm voice coils in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative) drops the effective impedance to 2 ohms...and running two such speakers also in parallel drops the effective impedance to 1 ohm, increasing the power output of the amp (most amps put out more power the lower load impedance they feed...be sure and check you amps specs though and make sure they conform to the configuration you're building). So, if you tie two voice coils in series, you get 8 ohms out. Tie two of those speakers in parallel and you'll get 4 ohms out. Now...tie two more speaker combos like that in parallel and you'll get 2 ohms out. You're now at 8 speakers. Do this one more time and you're at 1 ohm with 16 subwoofers. Now you're beginning to get the idea.
My math was off...2 8 ohm configured subs wired in parallel to 4 ohm, then two more 8 ohm configured subs wired in parallel to 2 ohms makes 4 subs, not 8...then doing that again will bring 8 subs down to 1 ohm...still impressive...but you can take that configuration to whatever you can imagine. Add two 8 ohm configured subs in series to make 16 ohms, then run more configurations like tied in series and parallel to make is as many speakers as you can physically fit in a space. Ever see a van with umpteen hundred (seemingly) subs? That's how they do it.
I have a hifonics Brutus 1100 class d. I wired my box parallel. On the amp there's two negative terminals on the left and two positive on the right which ones do I run my wires to?
So I got Single X-12 D4 Sub Pro 12" Dual 4-ohm 1250w Rms Loud Bass Subwoofer and Amplifier is Mono bass 1Channel 1-Ohm rate for 3000W. I currently been connecting it as Parallel which Positive to Positive and Negative to negative but, my wire run from Amp to Sub tend to keep getting burnt out. Whats wrong, or whats the best way I should do or run?? Thanks in advances.
I wired my subs to my girls nipple piercings @ 1ohm when she was sleeping...and now I'm single. Can you tell me how to re-wire my subs back up to get my girl back? Thanks man, you're a real life saver.
haha
Kennnny77 she probably wasn't 1 ohm stable man, just hook her up at 4 ohms and you should be fine
Kennnny77 lol
Probably using a shitty amp
;)
Watch the video, it should tell you how to wire Two Dual 4 Ohm subwoofers to a 1 Ohm load.
Yes you definitely can! Just wire your subs in parallel to 1 ohm and connect it right up to that amp, which is 800W RMS at 1 ohm.
Sonic Electronix I wired 2 brx12d4 exactly as you demonstrated but I'm still getting 4 ohms after the box terminal.. help please??
let me make it simple, plug all positives terminals together with the same red wire straight to the amplifier. Now do the same with a negative terminals using black or silver wire.
Why in the illustration they criss cross the the wires? Makes it more confusing.
@@theimmaculatecrown just because the terminals are flip flopped for each side of the sub I’m assuming

Wow mind blowing lol so which sub gets the 500 first 0_o
@@Juli-n-David technically the first sub connected straight to the amp but its pretty much instantaneous so you will not notice the difference

That amplifier is a two channel amplifier, go to our website and type in "xxvcolossus" for features and specs information.

You will need to bridge the amplifier and then wire the subs in series to a 4 ohm load, that way both the amp and subs are at a 4 ohm load. Do not wire it like you see it here, wire it in series.
Your not measuring impedance here, your measuring resistance.

Does the RMS change on the subwoofer. let's say if you have two 500 RMS subwoofer 500rms+500rms=1000rms
This is only a version of wiring that allows you to match up your subs to your amps 1 ohm stable power rating, if it is 1 ohm stable.

Hmm.. Well, I connected both subs to the box.. So would that matter if I just leave the one side disconnected from the amp? The voice coils are right beside eachother, not one on each side, so its a little different than the video.
Can any dual 4 ohm subs be wired together to 1ohm?
Wait so what wire do I use if I'm doing a series? Do I use the negative wire or positive wire to do series?
By series, I take it you mean wired in series vs. parallel. If you have a dual coil 4 ohm sub, you can make it an 8 ohm sub (assuming the amp you have takes that and won't go lower) by wiring the positive on one coil to the negative on the other coil and doing the same with the other side, wire the remaining negative to the positive of the other coil. This will but the coils in series, doubling the impedance of the speaker.
Some may ask why you would want to do this since most amps run 4 ohms down to 1 ohm. Think about really high power amps...thousands watts amps...and you want to run a lot of subs to that (those) amp(s)...electronic theory states that if you run impedances in series, they double the impedance, but running in parallel cuts the rated impedance in half. Hence, running two 4 ohm voice coils in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative) drops the effective impedance to 2 ohms...and running two such speakers also in parallel drops the effective impedance to 1 ohm, increasing the power output of the amp (most amps put out more power the lower load impedance they feed...be sure and check you amps specs though and make sure they conform to the configuration you're building).
So, if you tie two voice coils in series, you get 8 ohms out. Tie two of those speakers in parallel and you'll get 4 ohms out. Now...tie two more speaker combos like that in parallel and you'll get 2 ohms out. You're now at 8 speakers. Do this one more time and you're at 1 ohm with 16 subwoofers. Now you're beginning to get the idea.
My math was off...2 8 ohm configured subs wired in parallel to 4 ohm, then two more 8 ohm configured subs wired in parallel to 2 ohms makes 4 subs, not 8...then doing that again will bring 8 subs down to 1 ohm...still impressive...but you can take that configuration to whatever you can imagine. Add two 8 ohm configured subs in series to make 16 ohms, then run more configurations like tied in series and parallel to make is as many speakers as you can physically fit in a space. Ever see a van with umpteen hundred (seemingly) subs? That's how they do it.
This same guy has another video on how to connect in series...here's the link... czcams.com/video/htx0aXmzFmo/video.html
my sub shows 1.3-1.4ohm load is that normal for 1ohm wiring? i saw other videos it shows 0.8-0.9ohm? will it hit weaker if 1.3ohm?
I have a hifonics Brutus 1100 class d. I wired my box parallel. On the amp there's two negative terminals on the left and two positive on the right which ones do I run my wires to?
Either one works fine
Aye can I do this with one 2 ohm dvc and one 4 ohm dvc ? I got the 2 ohm wired to 1 ohm rn
Great videos thank you very much
So I got Single X-12 D4 Sub Pro 12" Dual 4-ohm 1250w Rms Loud Bass Subwoofer and Amplifier is Mono bass 1Channel 1-Ohm rate for 3000W. I currently been connecting it as Parallel which Positive to Positive and Negative to negative but, my wire run from Amp to Sub tend to keep getting burnt out. Whats wrong, or whats the best way I should do or run?? Thanks in advances.
