So what does lowering the amount of Ohms do exactly? it changes the tone of the bass doesnt it? I LOVE bass and messing around with a system, but I have no clue what ohms do in higher or lower numbers. Also, what do you think about 2 15in type Rs powered by an MRP M-1000 would be? that's what I'm thinking about getting.
@SBrandon562 Lowering you ohms gives you more power from your amp. If you look at amps it will say something like 400 @ 2 ohms 800 @ 1 ohm. Just an example
@SBrandon562 Lowering you ohms gives you more power from your amp. If you look at amps it will say something like 400 @ 2 ohms 800 @ 1 ohm. Just an example
i have three 12 rockford fosgate punch speakers hooked with an amp that pushes them its a jbl but idk how many watts it is could anyone tell me becaus it pushes all of the subs perfect
ayite. so ima have 2 DVC 4 ohm Alpine type R's, and my amp is a RF 2000 watt max mono block. how would i wire it so that im getting a 2 ohm load? the amp runs 320 RMS at 4 ohms and 500 RMS at 2 ohms. so id also be bridging to get the subs enough power
RFL600d 600 rms @ 2--- 400rms @ 4 monoblock amp and i had my 2 pioneer champions 400rms hooked up to my amp at 2 ohm.the same way u show at the beginning. just stuffed in there....burnt 1 out and and other is a low reading 2.9 ohms disconnected wen it was 4 ohm before. im buying mtx jackhammers12s to replace. what do think went wrong? note the gain was full :( i noticed it get quieter over time. it was also in bandpass box any advice when im reinstalling should i get a ported box
@jasonmangal Sorry to hear bro. If you had your gain cranked then cranked your volume knob on your headunit you prolly clipped the shit outta them. You need a bigger amp if you want it to be louder. I try and NEVER crank the gain knob and I listen for distortion very closely when I turn up the volume. You box shouldn't be a problem but crankin gains and volume knobs is never good. Goto rockford wiring wizard just to make sure you have them hooked up right.
@00through09 I don't know bro. I'm guessing your using it for home audio cause I'm pretty sure thats what its made for. I don't think it would run a subwoofer. Maybe a couple tweeters or mids
hey nice vid.. i have 2 12' jl audio w08 with a sony xplod 2200gtx and i'm trying to bridge them so tell me if i did this right. i connected + to + then - to -, then I took the positive from the right speaker to the amp and the negative from the left speaker to amp. is that good what should i expect and how many ohms should that bring my subs to?
i have a 350 watt amp hooked to 2 kenwoods its a stereo 2 channel amp i believe. i had fry's hook it up and i am wanting to switch it myself to a mono block kenwood 1000 watt amp. can i use the same wiring and just plug in all the wires to the new one? would that be simple or are there would i be better off just paying someone to do it for me?
@montayay1 Its really that simple as long as your going from a 2 channel to a mono block. Just switch the wires. Only one thing!!! Make sure they take the same size power and ground wires. I'm guessing your 2 channel has 8 gauge so make sure your mono block takes 8 gauge or you might need to upgrade wires to bigger
well i got a 5500 watt mono amp. and then i got a momo 12" with a peak power at 1000 and then it just says 4 ohms. then i got a 12" power acoustik with a peak of 2600 peak and it says 2 ohms. so what can i do to hook them up so they would fry and shit but pound hard!? nothing is hooked up at the moment.
@thajoka151 Yeah just don't listen to you're music with the car off... I had two 15's all to one battery & nothing happen. No lights diming at night when the bass hits. It's all good...
@thajoka151 I don't like mixing ohms on subs. Its better if you can have both subs @ the same ohms. I've never hooked different ohm subs together but I have mixed sub ohms on and amp and it sounds like crap cause your lower ohm sub sucks all the power
hey man i have a question. i have a logic 1400watt amp 4 channels with a sony explod 1200watt sub. i have it hooked up to channel one but idk if its at 4 ohms or 2. id like to run it at 2 ohms. the amp says 2 ohm stable but i dont have a owners maual for it so i was wondering how do i run the single sub at 2ohm? thanks
@g1andrhone Bridge it with 2 channls meaning take your + from your sub and put on + on channel 1 then take your - on your sub and put on - in channel 2. That will still prolly be 4 ohms but since your using a 4 channel amp and bridging it will be like 2 ohms
Yeah i watched it, I bought 2 Kicker 12in' Subs, each one is 8 ohms, 300watts, what kind of amp should i buy to power them? I would like your opinion.. it would be so helpful. 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 :)
Is possible to make a 4 ohm single voice coil subwoofer into a 2ohm subwoofer with just one subwoofer? Like conecting in a diferent way? thank you very much
I have at the moment a monoblock kenwood amp and two different subwoofers (not fitted yet).One kenwood 12 (1200w/400rms) and another kenwood 12(800w/250rms). I dont know if sounds good fit them like you show on your vid because they are different models, maybe they sound different if they are fitted together on the same amp right? Do you think that they will sound good? Thank you very much
@ZeroXSub As long as they are the same voice coil configurations than yes. Meaning if they are both single voice coil 4 ohm subs then yes they will be fine together
@ZeroXSub These are single voice coil subs. They just have 2 hookups for easier wiring like what I did in the vid. Sorry this was a long time ago and I should have specified
@hondaaccourd5 Sure can. You can actually run 2 of your 4 ohms subs and still be safe. @ 4 ohms you will only get half the amps power but will run clean
@toronjillo2 If its a 2 channel amp and you have it bridged and you add another 4 ohm sub to it I think you'll be ok as long as your amp is set to stereo and not mono. Thats how most 2 channels are that i've seen. Check how low of ohms your amp can take though so you don't burn it up
@casperskafs well mine its a 400 watt am its a cheap amp tho but it does the job and the it lowest its 4ohm but like if i add other sub that is 4omh and i do it in series that would be 8ohm would it sound louder then just 1 sub wiht 4 ohms i mean 2 subs making 8ohms vs 1 sub making 4ohms which one is louder? like i said its a cheap amp its a dual 400wtt amp
@toronjillo2 Well bro the down side is you would get less watts but the up side is you would have more cone area. Thats just one of those things ya gotta try and see how it turns out
Thinking about setting up some subs in my accord... I want to get 4 subs, 2 boxes of 2 10" visoniks. If i buy one with the complete kit (wiring, amp) and one with just the box and wiring, could I hook up both boxes to the one amp? Never done this before, just done speakers. Thanks man
can you parallel wire 3 subs to one amp? as in can you hook the wires leading from the amp to a sub and branch off from the connection at the first sub to the other 2? will that work?
@casperskafs you can't run 4ohms subs to 2ohms. it can onoly be 1ohm r 4 ohms r 16ohms right now the way u have them hooked up it's only 1ohm. i have my to kicker CVX 15s hooked up to 1ohms
@casperskafs so if i run two sets of wires out of the sub that is connected to the amp, and the subs are 4 ohm, will the amp be running at 1 ohm? or still 2 ohms?
I noticed u didn't point out if ur subs are DVC or SVC. In the case that u have 4 ohm subs with dual voice coils u could only run @ 1 or 4 ohms with two subs. If u you have two 2 ohm dual voice coil subs you can achieve a 2 ohm load. For example kicker zx1000.1 is a mono d amp 1000rms @ 2 ohms you can connect two 2 ohm dvc subs to it making for 500w per sub. A true 1000 Watt system.
@donboyd1000 yea, i just had the same exact problem, DROVE ME EFFN NUTS! and it was a bad ground, just sand off a new spot and u should b in business bro.
just to tell you. you are the most respectable guy i know right now. i like that you said you are not a professional and i respect that; when you say that it makes me feel like you are good at it anyway. i always tell people that im not a professional at everything as well and that i am not always right. you remind me of me. much respect bro
I have a Pioneer AVH-3300dvdbt, this perticular unit says it can have sub woofer hooked up 70w @2 ohm without an amp . I don't have an amp as of now, so I'd like to do this for now. How do I hook up the sub thru the rear speakers?(that's what Pioneer says to do, but that's all it tells you thru THIER tiny manual), so I have all the speakers hooked up, everything works great !, but now want to add the sub. Do I disconnect the rears and hook up the sub first and then to the rears? Or rear speaker
@MJClemm Honestly bro I can't help ya. I've never heard of doing that. I have a pioneer AVH P5900dvd and I didn't see anything about it saying you could do that. I've always used amps
@MJClemm just direct lead it from the speakers terminals to the sub but it will get low power and the sub will just distort and stuff but thats how ive done it before
hay man just a tip you might confews people with the most subs have 2 places to hook wires to some people might confews this with dvc subwoofer intakes and think that ones a out but i do under stand its a bit late nice video tho
ha lol I used to run 4 of kenwood 12's at 2 ohm on a pioneer amp and some crossover can't remember name lol and 4 pioneer 6x9's in a 84 buick riviera that shit was loud!
i have 400 dollars to buy a sub and amp should i get like a 200 dollar sub and a 200 dollar amp or a few 78 dollar subs idk if i should pick cone area or a better sub.. cuz im hearing its all about the box u put it in
hey im going to be getting my first sounds system this coming wedsday and what would be a good amp for one 400 watt kicker sub and 4 smaller speakers ... and by amp i mean like what size mabye an 1800 ? i think the smaller speakers are around 80 wats
hey man i have a 10in audiopipe and i cant figure out to hook it up and when i do get it hooked up there is a buzzin sound in the sub can you tell me what it is............ thanks
Can i do this for a 2 channel amp? can i just have my second subs wires, going into the terminals of my first sub, and then another set of wires going from the terminals of my first sub to the bridged channel of the amplifier?
@casperskafs Thanks for your reply. Yeah having each sub into each channel works obviously but i wanted to try 2 ohm because you get alot more power out of it.
Casperskafs! Bro first of all your fucking awesome. Pardon the slang. I want your honest opinion, i just now got into systems and shit like that, i have 2 MB Quart Square 12's 400RMS 800PEAK, is that good? can i rattle some shit with that? i have a 5 channel 1600W Cadence amp, not sure of the rms power the amp has but how should i hook it up? i have it hooked up now just standard, should i bridge them together than bridge two channels? i may sound inexperienced, i am. Thanks bro!
@ITz0kProductions LOL thank you very much bro. I think you can do some damage with those subs. You won't be blowin out any windows or anything crazy like that but you can make um bump in the right enclosure. My problem is I've never owned or played with any 5 channel amps so I couldn't tell you the best way to hook um up. Google ROCKFORD WIRING WIZARD. That might give ya a few ideas but also might confuse you a little since it shows them going into 1 channel
i have Two dual 4ohm 400w 12inc subs connected to a 1000w 2 channel amp.... it worked fine for 2 months then all of a sudden when i turn it up past 20 the subs go out... you know what that could be?
@genobee20 Tryin to push to much power. A lot of people do this with small amps. I hear it all the time. You need a bigger better amp bro. Not sayin the one you have is crap just sayin you need one more powerful.
@xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x Depends how powerful your amp is and if your sub or subs can take it. The lower the ohms the more power you send from your amp to your subs
@casperskafs i have 2 15inch CVXs they r both 2ohms they hit like hell tho but what is the difference in 2 ohms and 4ohms is either one better then the other?
Hello, I have a pair of 12 inch subs, my amp is stuck in my truck so id rather not move it to find the wattage, I bought instead, the most powerful cables (1200w cables) thinking that it would work, would they work still with over strengthened cables? and I have some cords without the ends on them, how to i hook the endings up? and how do i connect the two point forks? or do the screws hold them in... (yea they probably do >.<)
@ScreamMode1337 The more powerful the cables the better. Only problem is getting the bigger wire to fit in your amp. You really only needs ends on the cables to connect one end of the power and ground to the battery. And yes the screws will hold down the wires
So what does lowering the amount of Ohms do exactly? it changes the tone of the bass doesnt it? I LOVE bass and messing around with a system, but I have no clue what ohms do in higher or lower numbers. Also, what do you think about 2 15in type Rs powered by an MRP M-1000 would be? that's what I'm thinking about getting.

For example kicker zx1000.1 is a mono d amp 1000rms @ 2 ohms you can connect two 2 ohm dvc subs to it making for 500w per sub. A true 1000 Watt system.

I have a Pioneer AVH-3300dvdbt, this perticular unit says it can have sub woofer hooked up 70w @2 ohm without an amp . I don't have an amp as of now, so I'd like to do this for now. How do I hook up the sub thru the rear speakers?(that's what Pioneer says to do, but that's all it tells you thru THIER tiny manual), so I have all the speakers hooked up, everything works great !, but now want to add the sub. Do I disconnect the rears and hook up the sub first and then to the rears? Or rear speaker
MJClemm 4 months ago
@MJClemm Honestly bro I can't help ya. I've never heard of doing that. I have a pioneer AVH P5900dvd and I didn't see anything about it saying you could do that. I've always used amps
casperskafs 4 months ago
@MJClemm just direct lead it from the speakers terminals to the sub but it will get low power and the sub will just distort and stuff but thats how ive done it before

Can i do this for a 2 channel amp? can i just have my second subs wires, going into the terminals of my first sub, and then another set of wires going from the terminals of my first sub to the bridged channel of the amplifier?
sniffsumglu 5 months ago
@sniffsumglu Yea I think that will work. You might just wanna hook each sub up to each channel and put the amp on mono
casperskafs 5 months ago
@casperskafs Thanks for your reply. Yeah having each sub into each channel works obviously but i wanted to try 2 ohm because you get alot more power out of it.
sniffsumglu 5 months ago
@sniffsumglu That might read 2 ohms in the amp if you set it to mono instead of stereo

Casperskafs! Bro first of all your fucking awesome. Pardon the slang. I want your honest opinion, i just now got into systems and shit like that, i have 2 MB Quart Square 12's 400RMS 800PEAK, is that good? can i rattle some shit with that? i have a 5 channel 1600W Cadence amp, not sure of the rms power the amp has but how should i hook it up? i have it hooked up now just standard, should i bridge them together than bridge two channels? i may sound inexperienced, i am. Thanks bro!
ITz0kProductions 5 months ago
@ITz0kProductions LOL thank you very much bro. I think you can do some damage with those subs. You won't be blowin out any windows or anything crazy like that but you can make um bump in the right enclosure. My problem is I've never owned or played with any 5 channel amps so I couldn't tell you the best way to hook um up. Google ROCKFORD WIRING WIZARD. That might give ya a few ideas but also might confuse you a little since it shows them going into 1 channel

i have Two dual 4ohm 400w 12inc subs connected to a 1000w 2 channel amp.... it worked fine for 2 months then all of a sudden when i turn it up past 20 the subs go out... you know what that could be?

casperskafs 6 months ago
Hello, I have a pair of 12 inch subs, my amp is stuck in my truck so id rather not move it to find the wattage, I bought instead, the most powerful cables (1200w cables) thinking that it would work, would they work still with over strengthened cables? and I have some cords without the ends on them, how to i hook the endings up? and how do i connect the two point forks? or do the screws hold them in... (yea they probably do >.<)
ScreamMode1337 6 months ago
@ScreamMode1337 The more powerful the cables the better. Only problem is getting the bigger wire to fit in your amp. You really only needs ends on the cables to connect one end of the power and ground to the battery. And yes the screws will hold down the wires
