Thanks for explaining this straightforward and easy to understand rather than trying to teach us calculus, ohm's law, and what impedance means to perform a simple task of wiring a dam subwoofer.
:)
From Kenya and I must say this is the best video explaining the concept of wiring subwoofers. I have a special request on a video to show how to connect an equalizer preferably boschmann 7 band to an amplifier.
I think it’s interesting that some of you commenting think that this is common knowledge when there are folks who STILL struggle with comprehending wiring up subwoofers. Instead of being difficult ( I’m being polite here ) about it, why don’t you teach your knowledge to others - save a subwoofer save a life hehe - like this page is doing. Just a thought.
Tim gets it 👍
tim erhardt I am one of them ,who just can’t grasp this freaking harness, (maybe there’s to many wires ,to many colors IDK)A few months back I tried , I had the dash of my truck open the panels of all 4 doors off for weeks finally I paid a pro to do in 10 hrs what I couldn’t do in weeks ,Now I get a great idea to link my steering wheel controls back up to my radio and mirror capabilities using RCA TO HDMI cable to an adapter , ,, I pull the dash apart watch abut 3 different guys do it about 30 times but I can’t get my radio to CarPlay (which it did early on for a few days back in June) or mirroring capabilities should’ve just stuck to blue tooth .. SMH,,,
Thats what's up people got to mouth off and all that on any video this man is the go to man on CZcams for a traditional car audio enthusiast who just wires them on a basic understanding on electronic circuitry and how they function. Yeah I can hookup any subwoofer just like that but I do not dare claim or comment or talk about my expertise and knowledge of impedance and how the polarity of the various wiring schemes you can use to run dual subwoofers especially I know very little about and damn sure ain't to proud to say I'm ignorant in the area and field of load outputs. This man I'm damn sure went to fricking school to learn which I'm betting he already had basic knowledge of and furthered his skills and knowledge of what he is demonstrating you can tell by how his presentations are well presented and they are very clear and simplistic at that as to where you got these morons out here on the comment section running off at their mouth about their so called skills. I appreciate these demonstrations and how to videos you opened my skill set up to understand the difference in the way I can wire my system to better its outputs and give my subs longevity you by far outdo all these so called professionals with shadetree show off videos that provide us with arrogance and most likely got folks wiring shit up to blow up their expensive subwoofers and turning amps to griddles to point is folks listen to Tim yeah arrogant assholes Tim hit y'all in the mouth on this one and he was polite very polite which Tim my friend its very hard I'm sure you know to be polite about anything these days but he could have butchered y'all with stuff if he wanted to he was being polite in the sense that yall don't know what you talking about plus I don't get why do people venture on to videos like this to just up and talk shit huh? Really unreal whew hey I love these videos you've taught me what no other jackass claimed they was showing us the best way to wire subs could not show me at all you are the go to man on this area of expertise and I modestly say that cause I give credit where its so damn well due so I salute you and I salute Tim on a hell of a comment.
@@Qualitymobilevideo you are the go to man on all my audio hangup and my ideas for what way I'm trying to crispen my subs to sound like you are professional above all others on your videos and your presentations could teach a damn monkey how to wire a banging system up in a tree I would bet lol that's how straight forward you are no fancy dyno test crap or fancy computers and frequency monitors and rah rah just a plain old ometer basic technique and great verbal knowledge is presented for us that appreciate your time your efforts your videos and you taking the skills you learned to care to share with those who genuinely have a passion for car audio,and how the stuff can operate I appreciate your videos man my go to source for anytime I have a bit of or a huge hangup on how to wire my subs in the proper sequences especially DVC subs and systems the only guy I trust with teaching me the right ways.
I have an mrp500 too but I have two dual 10” 4 ohm subs so how do I get them to 2 ohms on the alpine mrp500?
Technically you explain things very nicely and Clearly. Thanks man, Most Appreciated!
Glad it helped!
I’m 46 and still love bumping. I know I should grow up but what fun is that..
What's the fun in that? 🤷♂️
Very informative. Completely straight forward and to the point. Very professional
Thanks Jose!
Literally the best most straightforward video,
This is basic,easy info on how to hook up subs in multiple configurations..Very nice..Thanks
I love that he is touching both of the probes and the ohm reading includes him+speaker
Perhaps an extra tenth of an ohm? 🤷♂️
This is the best example ever
U gave the visual and sound instruction on how it's done ✊🏽
THANKS
This simplified the hell outta it good job
Truly and honestly
Where were you when I really needed you in 1997?!?!
its called magazines back in 1997..... or finding a car stereo shop that KNEW their shit
😂😂😂 there wasn’t any CZcams in 97
you mean 1987. I still have the original Sony 6 cd cartridge player in the box. Car got hit before I could put it in.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 man
XD
Thanks for the quick, simple explain and drawings to supplement . Thumbs up!
Glad it was helpful!
I love your explanations. Way better then other channels around.
Wow, thanks!
Professional explanation.
Thank you for being straightforward in your explanation.Big up.
Glad it helped!
THAnks a lot Dear Lorenzo! Very clear and sample to understand to the electronic foreigner people !
Glad it was helpful!
Such good info. Quick simple and straight to the point
Appreciate ya actually showing instead of bringing all the math crap in lol
Just helped me install my subs, big thank you!
Awsome video dude..
I love messing around with my car sound,
tweaking each setting until I get it just right..
Glad you liked it!
What's wild is that you can always level up with better amps and bigger speakers different frequencies and watts 💯
This guy explains things so well.
The box i will be running is the skar audio 18 inch ported box.I think you probably need to know that as well to help me?
great explanation im assuming it’s a little different with 2 subs though ?
you guys should a do a video on all the ohm loads for all subs but start with dual coil 4ohm subs first and also demonstrate with multiple subs also like 2 and more
Kindly explain on how to connect two dvc subs 3003d4 to get either 1ohm-2ohm-4ohm ...to amp pioneer gm d 9601... and explain which sounds is louder.or best amongst them
Good video 👍🏼
So if I wire my sub in series it will give me 8ohm load and then I want to bridge 2 channels the amp will read 4ohms? Thanks in advice brother keep up the great job!!!
Thank you for the video you helping me a lot with my 2. 15inch 2000watts subwoofer
What if u have 2 subwoofer would u wire them the same
Yes and then connect them together 2ohms+2ohms=4ohms OR 1ohm...... No other option if wired like in the video.... 1 ohm is the best option for extracting all the power out of your class D monoblock
Great visual explanation; much appreciated. My question is whether or not the wire used to jump the speaker terminals HAS to be speaker/amp wire or can it be "standard" red/black wiring as shown, in a thicker gauge.
When you series the connection, can you still connect it to a 2 channel amp?
Yes, just make sure your amp can accept the load when bridged.
You are using the “ohmmeter” function of a “multimeter”, not setting the “voltmeter” to ohms. Also touching both probes is less accurate since the body passes electricity. Good video in general.
Came here looking for a clean way to wire 4ohm DVC in parallel. Is there any reason I can’t just clear off some insulation and use one strand for both connections versus multiple wires?
thanks for explaining in an easy way, excellent video
How to connect 2 L7 to get 8 ohms I have a Nemesis 6k mono block that said 4 ohms 1500 rms-3000 peak ,2 ohms 2500 -5000 and 1 ohm 3000 -6000 bit already blow out one L7 so I get another but I want to get 8 ohm
Eric b No I didnt check I just went by assuming my comp r 12 enclosure would pair perfectly with my amp. Maybe something wasn't wired correctly inside the enclosure and it was probably giving off a 1 ohm load trying to keep up with my 2 ohm Rockford amp
Great video! Very informative...needed this back in my teen years but CZcams didn’t exist 😅
Great to hear!
Thanks needed this info.... very very important for everyone into car audio
Glad you found it useful!
If I wire this in the series configuration and then wire it in bridged configuration to the amp will these result in a 4 ohm in the end?
I love your videos. I've learnt so so much. Thanks
Thanks Dwight!
Which sounds better relating to this vid, 2 ohms or 8 ohms?
Ok thanks what deferences parlal and series same ohm same wattage tell me sir.
Thank you bro 😊
So can I wired both of my 4 dual subs together down to 2 ohm? I got Skar 2 zvx 15 on 8000 sound digital
So how do I do this without using a jumper wire? Basically the two wires won't fit into my terminal. So I'm trying to figure out how to connect the wires outside of the terminals on the subwoofer
Excellent learned something for you thankyou for sharing all the best!
Thank you
Welcome! 🤟
Very nice vid the best I’ve seen on this subject very clear and easy to understand lol
Glad you found it helpful!
Good day..what if you have 2 dual coil subs but the other one has one speaker terminal and the other one has 2..how to I wire the
Not possible, one is DVC one is SVC.
Which is better sir. 4ohms or 8ohms? From philippines
Alvin, neither is better its about wiring options.
Thanks for the video very helpful and easy
How do you wire it as a 4ohm load assuming you have 2 speakers?
Can you use one terminal in a DVC subwoofer
No, you need to use both.
Can you wire for 4ohms by wiring the positive from the amp to both positives on the sub and then the same for negative? My amp has 2 outputs but they are apparently the same channel
So I have a gen 2 prius that has 2 ohm jbl setup and the speakers are no good and trying to figure out what I have to do to get a dual vc to work on the car
I have a question. I have two JL 13tw5 2ohm subs and a 1200/1 JL HD sub. How should I wire this subs ?
Thanks to this video, I managed to figure out what the heck is DVC sub. I'm trying to connect this DVC sub that I plan to buy in series so that I can fit it into my home theater receiver as my receiver require a sub to be 6-8 ohm impedence. Is my understanding of this concept is correct? Thanks in advance.
Great video well explained didn’t even mind the music
Will a fluctuating ohm reading not so stable indicate a burn or damage sub or it’s coil again knowing the subs specs ohm rated ? We typically say yes but on a lower reading how about a higher ohm reading again this will be in a ocasión where I can’t take out the subwoofer enclosure w ease or enough room just by subs lead wires but disconnected from amp by them selfs ?
I have a spare 8" 4ohm DVC subwoofer that i want to replace my factory sub with in my 4runner to the factory amplifier which has a sub at 2ohms. From the factory amplifier to the stock sub there two leads (each with one positive and negative wire) question is after running my two speaker wires in the sub from + to + and - to -
do i run just one positive from one lead to one coil and one negative to the other? Sorry i'm a big time noob when it comes to car audio... any help would be appreciated!
So to make it 4 ohm load do u just use one side of the positive and negative connections and not use the other side.
This. Anyone?
I have a punch 801s. What's the best set up with dvc? I want more power but i think i had it at 1ohm.
Also I'm an electrician, will electrical wire hurt my amp if i use stranded wire for speaker wire?
not sure if im correct on this but if i wire dual voice coils in series and i add another subwoofer in parallel to the same output of the amplifier would i get 4 ohms 8 ohms or 2 ohms ? im thinking ill get 4 ohms at the end
Thanks for this information..
Which is best parallel or series
Either is fine, it’s about matching to the amp
bro i wanna use the dvc sub in 4 ohm load cause i will be connecting it to my behringer ep4000 power amp bridged in 4 ohm load so i wanna wire the dvc sub in 4 ohm load
If i wire it to parralell then where do i go to on the amp being that its two channels do i just connect to 1 channel or do i bridge it?
Thanks a lot
How do I wire four 4 ohm dual 8s to a 4 ohm to the amp
You can series each of the two woofers and then parallel the pairs if they are SVC.
Is 1 ohm not possible? I mean I know it’s a 4 ohm sub divided by 2 is 2 but my amp says tha max power is at 1 ohm so I should get a sub that’s 1 ohm?
What about if your wiring this into the stock box for an 8ohm load? Clip the harness and connect thru that or clip both harnesses and connect to the wiring?? Any response is appreciated
can cm audio amp handle 2 ohm load and the speaker , will it be bridged
Can dual coil 4 ohm sub be wired to one ohm
Does it mean i can connect a duo coil(in series) to a sony tz140 hometheater head with 8 ohms impendance rating?
Thanks.
How to do one 2 ohms dvc subwoofer to 2 ohms wiring to amplifier??
Great video
:)
Does the rms change when u wire the sub 4rm a 4 ohm in parallel to 2 ohm
No
Amp goes into protection, I can only use one terminal. Do you know why? Is there another way? Do I use the second method?
I have a pair of 12 inch pioneers ts w3003d4 subs...what's the best set up for these and what amp should I hook em up too? I'm not to audio tech savvy but I want alot of bass and I'm sure the can produce more than they are putting out...I got them hooked up just on one side of the coil
How about 2 4 ohms subs at 8 ohms to a amp bridged at 4 ohms?
Bro : can I series to 8ohm then bridge to amp and make 4oms 🎉. Plz help
I have kicker CVX , which coil goes to amp ? Two of them have a white Dot .thanks in advance
What's the exact model? 2 ohm or 4 ohm?

Great stuff boss. U are a star

Which connection is best output parallel or series
I feel kinda dumb for asking but if I wire my subwoofer from daul 4ohm to 8ohm would it wreck my amp or sub vs wiring sub at 2ohm stable I have a amp that is 2 ohm stereo stable is it better to wire as 8 ohm vs 2ohm thanks in advance hopefully you can help me out with this?
i'm still confused
so 2ohm gives more power? but more heat and need basically a mono block cause my jbl gt5 a604 didnt like that not alot of bass more blown up sound
now i wired it back to 8ohm and the bass is deeper. but i got a 400w rms velocity sub so either way my amp is weak...
but so i still dont get 2ohm is stronger if you amp supports it but if not 8ohm is better? i use a 4 channel amp with 2 focal 16.5cm speakers also on it
How to hook up 2 dual 4ohm subs to 2ohm ?
thanks man. this really help..
:)
Will it mess up the power that I'm generating if I set it up as a 2 ohm load but then put one of my wires in the positive side and the other in the negative side on the other side of the coil going to the amp I mean I already wired it up like that on one of my speakers and it worked I didn't know if I was getting any better Bass from it or less I could not really tell
So what's better 2 or 8 ohms or will it sound different as in 1 hitting harder than the other?
A 2 ohm load will get you MUCH more power than an 8 ohm load
Does it keep the same ohm if you use thru terminal and then to amp?
thanks
I have an Alpine type R 1242D 500w rms 1500 peak. I have it wired in series because the shop that installed it said it would last longer and give clearer sound. The issue is most amps only list 1ohm 2ohm and 4ohm. If my speaker is wired in series with a final impedance of 8ohm then how do i choose the correct amp to power it to its maximum of 500w rms? I thought the impedance of being wired in series would have a final impedance of 4ohms. I ordered a Taramps 1200 bass witch gives out 650w rms @ 4ohms. Will this amp be able to give the 8ohm impedance that my speaker is wired to?
Can a single 4ohm subwoofer be wired to a 1ohm load?
i have a re audio xx 4ohm subwoofer wired down to a 2ohm load on a kicker cxa 1800.1 but my question is can i wire the subwoofer down to a 8 ohm load even tho the amplifier doesn't say its 8ohm stable? It only says 2ohm and 4ohm Stable.
Under the 2 ohm way if I have 2 seperate sub boxes , each run to seperate channels of a 2 channel amp that can do 2 ohm is it still a 2 ohm with the 2 hooked sep to each one left and one right??
When you get your readings (1.5 and 6) ohms they should be (2 and 8) right?, I'm just trying to clarify bc if I'm not mistaken your hand touching the wires also picks up resistance thus not having the correct reading, not knocking just pointing out to someone that might not understand why the readings aren't what they say they are
Correct, 2 and 8 ohms, it's not from the hands, its because the subs aren't wired, powered and in an eclosure, then the impedance will reach 2 and 8
But doesn’t it put a delay on one of the coils thus putting some sort of pressure on side. I know we can’t hear as fast as sound but still?
I have a 5 channel amplifier JL AUDIO RD 900.5 . I have a sealed box with two terminal cup connection . The amp can handle a final 4ohms wired correctly . Or 2ohms load .... but each subwoofer has its own chamber . If buy two 10inch subwoofers they have to be 4ohms and DVC . And wire each to a final load of 2ohms ??? Will the amp handle two 2ohms subwoofers ??? ... I'm new to car audio
