Great video. subscribed and thumbed her up. My question for you is what amp to get (noob here). I just bought two small 10" mtx TR4510-44s. 4ohm/200RMS each. I was just wondering what amp you would buy if you were me, and im also looking to buy an amp i can be flexible with such as being capable of matching up with bigger subs in the future. I figured it'd be the best thing to plan ahead while im at it. Thank you
how would I connect two 4 omh DVC subs together at 2 omhs into a 2 omh amp? Cause If I did the subs in series and the amp in parallel I would just be at 4 omhs but I did both in parallel I would be at 1 omh and thats not enough impedance for my amp. My amp will only go as low as 2 omh. Is it possible to even have my amp see 2 omhs with my subs together and give out 2 omhs?, or would I just have to deal with the 4 omhs and get a new amp?
@sleadhead1g any sub you buy is going to need power going to it you headunit typically puts out about 50w per channel when your sub could have a 500w handling capibility you really wanna match your subs and amp together ie 500 watt rms sub 500 watt rms amp
hey can anybody please tell me that i have to connect 4 4ohms normal speakers together.. should i connect then in series or parallel.. if i connect them up in series it gives 15 ohms and when i connect them in parallel it gives 1.4 ohms.. what should i do ? i want nice and clear mid and high end from those not bass.. thank you..
HELP PLEASE :) Hey dude love you're vids, but I need help with my American bass. I have a 12'' American bass xfl dull 2 ohm. Just bought. I need an amp but I wanna stick to American bass amps. I plan on buying another xfl 12'' dull 2. What American bass amp can I buy for now to power the one but yet will be enough power to power 2 when I get it. I was looking at the vfl 175.1 or 200.1 what would say. Thank u so much :)
Here's the math. Multiply the amount of voice coils by their impedance if you are running series, for instance four 2ohm loads all series will be an 8ohm load at the amplifier. Divide the amount of voice coils by their impedance if you are running parallel, four 4ohm voice coils will be a 1ohm load at the amp.
It really depends on the lowest operating impedance of your amp. Some amps can only do 2ohms, others can do 1 or lower.
So let's say you have a Kicker ZX1000.1 amplifier. It can handle at lowest a 2ohm load. So if you wanted to get two 12" subs, they would need to be either:
Single 4ohms, which if you go by the rule I mentioned, parallel the subs, 4ohm subs divided by 2 voice coils equals a 2ohm load.
Dual 2ohm, which you'd have a couple of options, parallel each sub to a 1ohm load then series the subs together to make 2ohms, or series each sub for 4ohms then parallel for 2ohms.
I know this is a confusing question but I want to know if it is possible to do. Alright, what would I get if I (2x) Dual 4 ohm subwoofers and wire them up like this? 1 of the positive of the voice coil on subwoofer 1 to the negative on the other voice coil but on subwoofer 2, and then did vice versa, the negative on subwoofer 1 to the positive on subwoofer 2. What type of Ohm load would this leave me with?
1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 +... in parallel. It only halves in this case due to R1 and R2 being the same. So if you have a 2R and a 4R loudspeaker, then the total R in parallel is 1.334
i have 2 jl audio 12w 8ohm with 1000 watt kenwood can they handle if i cut them down to 2 ohms there at 4 right now buh i hear the lower the better it gets an i also have a 2 way crossover that doesnt need power supply can i use that with this much power i dont wanna wreck anything an one more thing i did some reseach an the jls are 125 watt with 2000 watt peaak is this amp safe to use a can i use more power (another amp)
@sledman11 you'll have to read the manual for the amp to see what's the lowest impedance (ohms) it can handle. If you go beyond (lower than) whatever limit the amp is designed for, you risk letting the magic smoke out of the transistors. As to the crossovers, simply put them before the amp, it'll put less strain on the crossovers, and the amp will be used only to amp the part of the signal that you're sending to those drivers, better use of power, and less heat generated.
@sledman11 I had 2x JL12W0s (8ohm version) in parallel for a combined 4 ohm load. Pretty sure that's the lowest resistance you can go with those two subs. Check JL's site, they used to list the performance of their various subs running off various power levels. Form what I recall, should be able to run W0s off of double their rated power limits for short periods no problem (eg 250watts RMS each). 1000watt amp is no problem so long as you don't go too crazy - can check voltage draw.
hey can you please help me! i have 2 12" kenwoods running at 4 ohms but i wanted to parallell wire them down to 2 ohms. but they only have ONE terminal. can you please help me?? D:
Hey got a question for ya or any one who can answer this. if you look at my video my subs a 4 ohm sub. can i do that with it? and what would be its ohms be after i do that?
or whats better higher ohms or lower ohms. for a sub that maxs out at 1500 watts?
I have a ? I have a 93 ranger with 640 cranking amp battery and a 95 amp alternator I already have one amp a renegade ren 1100s 75x4 rms pushing 4 2way spkrs @4 ohms I have it hooked up with 8 gauge wire it seems to work fine my ? is i'm about to buy another amp that puts out 450 rms to push a sub should I buy a cap for my second amp or battery or will it work fine with what I have thanks for any advice.
Ok what is it called when you have 3 subs wire together with 1 positive/ negative cord for all 3 subs. I have 3 12"s (JL w3 v2's) hooked to a JL 500/1 Mono block, but i have 1 set of wires coming out to 1 channel.where you show here each speaker has its own posi / neg wires. What is best for straight LOUDNESS?
got a question if i have 4 12's at 4 ohms all wired in parallel going to a mono block amp that has two sets of positives and two sets of negatives what is the ohm load
Hi, Please help me with my setup. I want to get the coils right from first time and not unscrew the sub later from the box.
i got SWR-1223D 2x 2ohm
and kenwood 9104D wich say it's stable at 1 ohm.
the kenwood specs tell that you get 900w at 2 ohms ant more than 900w at 1 ohm.
later it say that i should connect my 2x 2ohm voice coils to each connection to amp. i'm confused and i want to get out the most from my hardware. thank you
I have a question.... i have two alpine type x subwoofers and they are double coil each. if i want to run both at 4 ohms how should the wiring be? i have a mono amp that has 2+ and 2- .do u have a video about that? or can you explain to me how its done?
I didn't know a f'n thing about complex amp-sub wiring (a.k.a. more than 1 sub, multiple voice coils etc...) until I read some guides online and your video made the reading stick. Basic electronics principles but watching it being done in front of you inspires confidence. Thanks for sharing. Big up!
i got 2 , 4 ohm boss tens, and my friend sold me an amp for really cheap wich is why i bought one with little power (400 peak, 150 rms) its a DUAL , 2 channels, but can be bridged, i was going to wire them in series, so that would make them 8 ohms right? so if i wired them in series and bridged it how much power would they be getting , bcus the ohms do make a difference right, like less is more type of thing?
hey i have a question i have two 15.2 hcca orions run two ma audio 3600watts rms when it brigde each subs as each amp...the deals is it keeps cuting off..the amps also got hott do u know whats going on witth that .. wring in 1 ohm

@a21bravo.Nice explanation video!I have a question,how could i wire my two Mtx Audio thunder 9500 dual 4ohm voice coil to a Mtx Audio thunder 81000d class d amp?series or parallel?please help!thanks
Can anyone tell me how i should hook up my system?I have a Mtx Audio thunder 81000d class d amp and a pair of Mtx Audio thunder 9500 12 inch subs with dual voice coils.If anyone could help me i will really appreciate it!
So i have 2 4ohm Infinitys, and a 1 ohm stable mono amp, i would parallel each sub and bring both subs wires into one per (+) and (-) on the amp to make 1ohm? Like ur first set up with 2 subs? Thanks
Good explanation. I learned Series and Parallel wiring years ago and it sure helped me since I played in a band and it is good to wire up speakers correctly.
This is a GREAT explanation. You made so much more sense then the other things that I have read. My question, for clarification, is this...
Using your Series Parallel wiring as an example. You said that the series wiring doubles the impedance. (2ohms per coil become 4ohms) Taking the 4ohms, and wiring parallel to the amp is half. (Takes the 4ohms back to 2)
Is the amp "seeing" a total of 2ohms? Or is it 2 ohms for each sub? (4ohms total) Trying to make sure I completely understand. Thanks
Okay, this is really helpful. BUT, just to ask, i have 2 subs at 4ohm (dual), and my amp is 2000W @ 4ohm (each sub is 1200 RMS, but i never will max them =P)
With this, i have a box that allows me to wire them to one connector on the outside, i'm not sure of that wiring (but i can change it if need be). So i need to know the best way to wire the subs in the box to go to the single connector, if that makes sense. any response would be appreciated!
hey man, when wiring in parallel can you hook up the + from the amp to VC #1 and the - from the amp to VC #2? just wondering if it makes a difference. thanks
@DezertRacer7103 Sonicelectronix(.)com and theyre too much. Look for Fi caraudio, Sundown, Audioque, Dc audio, Digital designs, Ascendant audi, Sound solutions audio (SSA) etc...
@Invin86rs I really like MMATS. I sat in their van at a bass show in Daytona Fl. I lived in Orlando. I have never felt something hit that hard. It had 16 15`` Speakers. Blew my mind and eardrums LOL
when 6your doing you series parralel wiring at the end of these you get 2 + eand 2-? what do you do with these? cause i have 2 fi q dvc 2 ohm on a audioque 2200 and i wanna put it in 2 ohm but it doesnt work!
@wow1022 well the speakers are not ovens they have specifically designed cooling... And depending on voltage and if the person operating the system has some self controll and educated use of the volume knob, everything will be ok.
um you something a bit wrong, because net everybody has a sub like that one with two voice coils. on a series sercit on a regular single coil sub it will drop both subs you did that with to two ohms if it is a 4 ohm sub, you need to get a little more background on what your doing because for a dual coil sub everything is basicly backwards
@bigdogdig Well. Not one time in the video did I say I was going to cover every wiring combination in the world... I did however explain the relationship between different wiring combinations. Wiring a single sub with 2 coils has the same result at wiring one sub with 2 coils. NOTHING is "backwards" when wiring a dual coil, you will have a identical final impedance when wiring the same number of resistors with the same wiring combination... 162,000 views and you're the only one who is confused
nice vid but i ave a quick question if you wire in series parallel and one goess out do both go out or just one if you have 2 dual voice coil subwoofers...? thanks really helped me out
@nibbler1973 its not good to hook different subs to the same amp.. messes with the wattage coming out..... i mean you can do it, but every one who knows what they are talking about will tell you not too.... what are the amp specs your planning on hooking them to?
@skoalrocks57 not my place anymore. I don't think you would have taken the time to send the message if you didn't mean it to be offensive. I highly doubt you are expressing concern for my best interest... yay, Im Allowed to start buying subs now !
@skoalrocks57 who the hell cares about his house??? He's trying to help explain how to hook up subs(and I thank him for taking the time to do so) dipshit!!
so im thinking of getting a new sub Fi Q. my amp is stable at 2 ohms, so i should get the dual 1ohm coils sub and wire it in series to get two ohms right???
circuit. the word is circuit. seems like that would of made things a little easier to explain

If you have 2 dual voice coil subs at 16 ohms each:

Good vid man. I have a dual 4ohm sub each going to their own mono amp.
I want the amp at 2ohms, so I want all + to the + on the amp, all - to the - on the amp & it will see 2ohm, right?

So i have 2 4ohm Infinitys, and a 1 ohm stable mono amp, i would parallel each sub and bring both subs wires into one per (+) and (-) on the amp to make 1ohm? Like ur first set up with 2 subs? Thanks

jesseadkins187 7 months ago
This is a GREAT explanation. You made so much more sense then the other things that I have read. My question, for clarification, is this...
Using your Series Parallel wiring as an example. You said that the series wiring doubles the impedance. (2ohms per coil become 4ohms) Taking the 4ohms, and wiring parallel to the amp is half. (Takes the 4ohms back to 2)
Is the amp "seeing" a total of 2ohms? Or is it 2 ohms for each sub? (4ohms total) Trying to make sure I completely understand. Thanks

@billyray97404 Yes amp will be seeing 2 ohms
a21bravo 7 months ago
Okay, this is really helpful. BUT, just to ask, i have 2 subs at 4ohm (dual), and my amp is 2000W @ 4ohm (each sub is 1200 RMS, but i never will max them =P)
With this, i have a box that allows me to wire them to one connector on the outside, i'm not sure of that wiring (but i can change it if need be). So i need to know the best way to wire the subs in the box to go to the single connector, if that makes sense. any response would be appreciated!

a21bravo 8 months ago
@a21bravo
orion hccas are rated at 2000W RMS right and you have 2 of them so....
4000W at 0.5 ohm is 89 amps
and 4000W at 2 ohms is 44 amps
either way the amp is gonna get incredibly hot from that much current
fyi your oven in your house at it's max setting doesn't pull anywheres close to 89 amps... and ur putting that into speakers? lol?
wow1022 8 months ago
@wow1022 well the speakers are not ovens they have specifically designed cooling... And depending on voltage and if the person operating the system has some self controll and educated use of the volume knob, everything will be ok.

dykyy 8 months ago
um you something a bit wrong, because net everybody has a sub like that one with two voice coils. on a series sercit on a regular single coil sub it will drop both subs you did that with to two ohms if it is a 4 ohm sub, you need to get a little more background on what your doing because for a dual coil sub everything is basicly backwards
bigdogdig 8 months ago
@bigdogdig Well. Not one time in the video did I say I was going to cover every wiring combination in the world... I did however explain the relationship between different wiring combinations. Wiring a single sub with 2 coils has the same result at wiring one sub with 2 coils. NOTHING is "backwards" when wiring a dual coil, you will have a identical final impedance when wiring the same number of resistors with the same wiring combination... 162,000 views and you're the only one who is confused

Great video for people who might need a primer to electrical circuit design!
Its always easier for me to come up with total resistance in a parallel circuit by : R/n = total resistance
where R = impedance of one resistor and n = number of resistors
assuming that all resistors have the same impedance (like here)
again great vid!
