Wiring your subwoofers for more power and more bass!

[@joshgreen2164]

Excellent explanation. Ive never been able to communicate it quite so concisely.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Thanks for watching.

[@RedCan_Rick]

Fantastic, informative video. Another home run sir.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Hey, thanks for watching man! Video probably won't do well since I dropped it in the middle of the day on a Monday, but that's okay. This is more about getting a resource out for people to use.

[@RedCan_Rick]

@@DIYAudioGuy they will catch it in your rotation, which due to the complexity of sub wiring, may be for the best. I really love that you have that calculator on your site. Giving back to the community in such a way is so cool.

[@tortuga34]

Great explanation, thank you!

[@BRED23]

What are some good 12inch shallow mount subs that will bang in my single cab for a reasonable price for the power I want something good plan on running d4s jp8

[@samuelmccarty7028]

Sd4 10s worked for me in my extended cab downfiring

[@DIYAudioGuy]

The really good shallow mounts are expensive: howl.link/nx4f6156piptc and howl.link/qmswj5fdwzn9i are probably the best.

[@MattyDaddy14]

Great vid! 🎉 was hoping you woulda covered how best to connect a dvc to a mono amp with 2 speaker outputs. (Connect wires at sub? Or connect seperate wires from each mono output to each VC ) 🎉

[@DIYAudioGuy]

I'll have to add that to my list of video ideas.

[@Hnkka]

If my subwoofer has sticker on the motor saying "3000w 2x2ohm" Then it will take 3000w, but store page says 1500rms, i have 1500w amplifier but will i buy amp that can do constant 3000w to get everything out of my speaker?

[@62dobie]

Yes 3k watts amp

[@Hnkka]

@@62dobie Also my shitty amp only gets to 31v at output when measured with multimeter

[@caughtafaygo]

Numbers💥 got it

[@Nissanalltheway]

Not me bud I got ohms law down pat lol

[@f.j.z3213]

super informative video, god ting i know what all the tings are called, because even i had too jump back too get what you ware saying. Slowe down, easy on the 15 different examples. Its easy too understand when we know evey name of every part.. What was seies vs paralell? what was a voice... dual 4 .. 2... before or after wiered... in what configuration. But i don't DO youtube, i only watch.. so ho am I too complain..

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Noted.

[@notsure984]

Are you sure that if you wire a single dual 2 ohm woofer in series it doesnt give you 4 ohms? Because I have done it both ways and there is a very distinct difference in volume from the woofer but that might just be because its a kicker subwoofer. 😂

[@DIYAudioGuy]

If you wire a pair of 2 ohm resistors in series you get 4 ohms.

[@notsure984]

@DIYAudioGuy lol

[@willmcmillan9511]

Ohms law? E over I times R.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Different sources use different notation, and of course you can always rearrange the formula any way you like with a little bit of algebra.

[@rallenallen5877]

How can I run 4 8ohn mid-range speakers and 44ohm tweeters to one four channel amp without damage to amp?

[@DIYAudioGuy]

If you're just talking about wiring them up somehow or another, I made a calculator for that, I even made entire KZbin video showing off the calculator. Beyond that, you'll need crossovers, not sure what you want to do there. Are you planning on using the crossover that's on the amp or a DSP? Or do you plan on using a passive crossover network?

[@62dobie]

Or, just buy another amp for tweeters.
