Posted October 3, 201113 yr I have 2 Kickers Dual voice coil 2ohm coming tomorrow.I see the diagram in 12volt on how to connect them at 2ohm.However, the box they are going in has separate chambers. So how do I connect the subwoofers to each other? whats the solution to this?http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=22#results
October 3, 201113 yr Make a terminal to connect the two boxes to each other internally. I had a box that I bought used where someone actually had done that to it previously.
October 3, 201113 yr Drill a hole between the chamber for the speaker wire and seal it up with silicone.
October 3, 201113 yr Connect them at the amp. Wire each sub in their chamber in series then connect them in parallel at the amp.
October 4, 201113 yr Author Ok guys, I hope this diagram helps. This is how I so far plan on install everything.I would connect both subs from the outside of the enclosure using speaker wire and then to the amp.http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa298/maleado/Untitled-2.pngLet me know if this would work! And if this is fine and no problems at all. Edited October 4, 201113 yr by slim142
October 4, 201113 yr Rather then running the one terminals wires to the other, Id just run them to the amp. The terminals may not accept two sets very easily.

October 4, 201113 yr Build a custom box with terminals (port area, tuning, and volume) that suit your needs If not, then I'm with Bromo.
October 4, 201113 yr Author Build a custom box with terminals (port area, tuning, and volume) that suit your needs If not, then I'm with Bromo.So this is how you guys are telling me to do it right?http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa298/maleado/Untitled-3.pngAnd the box is 1.67cubic ft per chamber, tuned to 33hz and it fits perfectly on my BMW. Purchased from crutchfield and has awesome reviews so Im expecting it to perform great
October 4, 201113 yr Author in this pic the final ohm load will be 2ohms! nice work! (if each sub is a d2)ThanksI wanted to illustrate it rather than write a whole paragraph lolFirst time I will use all 4 connections on an amp too, Im used to do all the connections inside the enclosure hahaha
