Wiring a DVC 2-ohm sub to 1ohm

[ONE15ISALLINEED 1]

ok i have no idea how to wire subs off the top of my head, i have just used charts. i have gathered 2 diff wiring picstures for wiring a 2ohm dvc sub down to 1ohm. one is from rockford fosgate and the other is from the jl audio website. they show different ways of wiring it. where do i go from here?

ok 12volt has it done the same way RF had it mapped out. is there a reason why jl has the wires going to one set of terminals on the sub from the amp? or was that just jl amplifier specific? it doesnt state that it is though.

It doesn't matter. Hook the two + together to the amp and then the two - to the amp. It's all the same no matter how you do it.

So I can just wire from one terminal to the amp and its still 1ohm. Works for me

You have to use both sets of terminals (one for each voice coil), but whether you wire one + to the other + and then to the amp, or whether you wire each + to the amp, etc., it doesn't matter. As long as they're all connected.

Parallel wiring is not like series wiring where you have to do things in order. Parallel wiring is very easy.

ya i know i have to wire both coils together, im just gonna run the wire from the amp to the sub to one set of the terminals. instead of opposite sides

They are both the same....

+ to + to +

- to - to -

All Wired in Parallel....

Series would jack the impeadence back up...
