Subwoofers / Speakers

Yep, just as the topic states. Post the results here.

My question is can i use 14g wire to make My subs 2ohm?Then run 12g wire from the Sub to the amp?

can somebody tell me how to wire my 1.4 ohm speakers down to 0.7 ohms? there dual.

I have one JL 10w6v3 dvc 4 ohm and two JL 10w3v3 svc 4 ohm and I'm looking for a 1 ohm load if possible. Any ideas and/or things I should consider? Just FYI, the 10w6d4 is in its own H.O. enclosure and the 2 10w3v3 svc 4 ohm are in their own dual enclosure. Thanks in advance

How do you wire a 15" IXL to a 1 ohm load? neg-neg- neg on amp and pos-pos- pos on amp?

2005 dodge ram 1500 I have this massive triple sub 10", shared lower vent, chambered box 16.5x20x49(with port).... port size is 2.25"x49"x12.5". I have 2 alpine swr-10d4(1000rms-3000peak), and one swr-1043d(600 rms-1800peak). all were previously ran in parallel @ 1 ohm (i think) going to a rockford fosgate t1000.1 power series. Suprisingly it hardely even got warm and pushes them hard. BTW!!= I just yesterday wired in my red top underneath my back seat and i have that wired to the bullz audio 2f cap=> everything wired to that...(i have a normal stock truck battery up front) My questions: 1.Is my port the right length?(can it sound better if made longer/shorter/complete…

I have two IA death row series 18's n the back of a 97 jeep grand cherokee...what would b the best wiring on them for daily beats...they will b ran off a Clif Designs 5000watt amp with a Kinetic 2400

So according to 12volt subwoofer wiring diagram I can wire two 2ohm DVC subwoofers to either 0.5 ohm OR 2ohm I can also wire only ONE of those subwoofers to 1ohm My question is, if I want to stick to 1ohm using those two 2ohm DVC subwoofers Can I just wire EACH sub to 1ohm, then run them to the amp each SEPARATELY from each other so that I keep 1ohm resistance? I have a Sundown 2000D

I am not trying to make this complicated but from what i've been told in the past, you never want to wire 2 different speakers together of different resistance. Conclusion would be one sub would get more power than the other. "If" that's true, then doesn't that mean- For 3 Dual 2 ohm subs, if they were all wired in parallel, wouldnt one of the 3 subs receive less power than the other 2? My thinking - take all 3 subs, wired in parallel - 3 1 ohm coils left. parallel those, 1 0.5 ohm coil and 1 1 ohm coil, 1 ohm coil receive less power, correct? If this is true, if i want a 3 sub combination off of 1 amp at a 1ohm load, would i need 2 dual 2s and 1 dual 1 version? Wiring …

I need help guys. So I bought 2 Fi BL's a couple of months ago and I've gone through 2 hifonics brutus amps. I am currently waiting on a sundown saz3500 that I just ordered. The problem I'm having is the speakers are .7 ohms per coil. How should I wire them to the amp. I dont want to blow another amp. GUYS I am in need of some help please.

I'm thinking about getting a 15" while the sale is going on. What are the wiring configs for it? dual 2 ohm, dual 4 ohm dual 8 ohm, single 4 ohm? Thanks

Nick, please give some guidelines on how to properly wire your D2 to this amp.

i was wondering if i would do any damge to any component of my system by using a dual 1 ohm sub, and a dual 2 ohm sub together? Also, for us dummys out here, what is the formula to figure the resistance when wiring like that? i know there is a way to get my resistance between 1 and 2 ohms that way, but might need a diagram, where could i find that?

Every wiring diagram that I have found does not include dual 1 ohm drivers. I am curoius what the ohm load would be for 3 dual 1 ohm drivers wired in series/parallel. I know it will be somewhere between 1.0 and 0.5 ohms. Thanks

Whats the ohm load if you wire eight dual four ohms drivers? I know four of them ran "series/parallel" is 2ohm load. Would that mean adding four more in the same wiring configuration make it a final load of 4ohms?

So i have a friend giving me 4 RF 12" punches tomorrow in a big sealed box. I'm wanting to put it in my car just to see how it sounds. I'm pretty sure the punches are 4 ohm DVCs. Anyone have a good diagram on how I should wire these for minimal impedance? It would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone is curious on how they perform, I will shoot a video and post it on here.

i got 50' (overkill but i got it cheap) of speaker wire for my new components. i ran my power on the left and rca's on the right. which side sould i run the speaker wire on? does anyone ever leave the crossovers close to the amp so they dont get damaged? it would require me to run x2 wire tho... my components are pg 6.5" rsd's. amp is kx250.2 (mounted behind rear seat)

Hey so I have a hypnotic z2500.1D amp and a fully loaded 18" FI BTL sub. should i wire it to 1 ohm, or 4 ohms? http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp~Q~1~I~22 or http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp~Q~1~I~22

hey iam looking for 0awg wiring kits for pritting cheap anyone now were i can find a good kit iam looking to spend about 100

I am going to install the wire for my amp now so I can have a better idea of placement in the back of the expedition. I'm thinking about going with this kit just so it's simple. http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-AK44 I'll be getting more wire to do the big 3, but there is some odd cabeling in there and I don't want to mess with that without some help from someone. Do you think that will be enough in feet to get from battery to back of truck, I'm going to measure tonight to know for sure but just to see if anyone else has done it. Also what fuse should I get. I'm also thinking of replacing the battery in the truck to something else... any suggest…

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, But I don't wanna screw up my subs. There may be a simple solution to this. I might just be making it harder than it really is. On my old Kicker 1200.1 amp, there was a set of RCA signal outputs. I ran these to my amp for the door speakers. Well I don't have this on my IA 20.1 Any suggestions? Or it as simple as running a couple sets of RCA splitters? Another question: I want to run 2 subs off this amp. My subs are dual 2 ohm SI Mag 12s. I know how to wire the sub coils (parallel) But do I run them to 1 connection at the amp or 2?

alright guys I have a dumb question. So I already have aftermarket speakers running off of an amp and my tweeters running off of the head unit. Just bought new mids all the way around...got the prv 6.5 4ohms and those ill just put right in after I get the old mids out. My question is about the tweeters. I also bought a rts-1 audiophile silk dome tweeter kit and need to know what to do. I'm going to take my old infinity tweeters out but don't know if I can use the existing wire going to my old tweeters. Please help!!

I just made a ported box, and the recessed terminal cup i bought at my local shop looks pretty hard to install - the back of it is a rounded rectange. is it ok to just drill a small hole for my speaker wire in the back of the box and fill it with silicon caulk? im worried this will just make it leak terribly...

How do you guys make this connection? I bought 8 gauge speaker wire thinking "Yeah! This will be some great speaker wire" but now at this connection point I have to fit two ends of wire into the terminal. I'll have to cut off a lot of strands. I didn't have to do this on my last system as is wasn't wired down to 1 ohm. Anything I'm missing here? Or is that the only solution? Thanks.

Im wondering the best way to wire these speakers to my RF P300-2 I was thinking the 4x6's on 1 channel the tweeters on another but idk about the ohms But I want to make sure because Rockford is not cheap!
