How do I keep a 4ohm load on 2 dual voice coil 2ohm sub?

[@JacobViral2]

@@garcial06 Two Dual 2 ohm Subs can only be wired to 8 ohm or 0.5 ohm if wiring together. You can do 4 ohm or 1 ohm if 2 amps(1 per sub).

Say I have a dvc 2 ohm sub wired to a 1 ohm load and I also have one with a 1 ohm dvc wired @ 2 ohm .. can I wire these together to get like a final 1.33 or . 8 or something along those lines or does this not work ?

[@JacobViral2]

One sub will get more power than the other but ideally you cannnnn but not recommended as its an inbalance in performance/power overal

[@ChrisRichardson-v6c]

@JacobViral2 in my case the dual 1 ohm would be an 8" punisher in the back deck and a dual 2 EVL 12" in the trunk .. I was thinking they might balance the power out decently due to the difference in size ? Just a thought .. I could be completely incorrect

[@ChrisRichardson-v6c]

@JacobViral2 also .. I do have a clamp meter, multimeter, and an o scope so maybe I'll play around with it just to see what it's doing and try all possible wiring configurations to see if I can get it close .. maybe the 12 wired up to 4 and the 8 wired down to .5 ? Clueless about it honestly but I have the tools to try it anyway 😂. . if it works would definitely be something I don't see most guys trying

@@kamranasghar7074 so you wire up each DVC subwoofer down to 1 ohm, then connect them back up to 2 ohm. Google “subwoofer wiring diagram” and look at 12volt site, shows everything visually.

I have a 2 ohm dvc and want to wire it to 1 ohm. Would I wire positive to positive and negative to negative, then connect one side to my amp?

[@JacobViral2]

Correct, 2 poss together and 2 negative together.

[@raynorjoseph9643]

Question regarding the 8ohm connection @8:50. If you wire the neg and positive across the coils, wouldn't that not work? If you want an 8ohm load you wire 1 neg to 1 positive together across the coils. The remaining neg and positive to the amp for 8ohm load?

Hi new to this car sound system stuff I’m in need of some major help I bought a 12inch skar sub amp had blew out so I bought another amp but didn’t realize it was a 4ohm amp my 12in sub is 2ohm and didn’t realize it was a 12000watts sub ( due to my first sun blowing from not letting it break in then when replaced I blew the amp) so now I’m stuck and don’t know what to do My amp is a skar 800watt 4ohm marine and my sub is a 2ohm 12000 watt how can I go about this

[@JacobViral2]

Is it a dvc(dual voice coil) / 2 ohm? Wire it up to 4 ohm on the amp. Cross a possitive to negative terminal and then hookup other to amp. Use multimeter to confirm.

[@carlossalazar6767]

@@JacobViral2 dude thank you so much I plan on doing that on Monday I have it set low in order for it not to hurt my sub there’s no hits or anything going on right now but I will confirm when I do it Monday

[@AmusedBanjo-vv5th]

@jacobviral2 ok so I'm basically in the opposite position as @carlosslazar6767 I have a skar 800.1d amp that's 1ohm final impedance and it came with a skar sdr 12 d2 600rms/1200 peak sub I blew the sdr the first week well I'm sure the spider is lightly torn at the cone causing it to make a horrible noise at louder volumes so I bought a new sub which is a skar evl 12 1250rms and it's d4 so I wired it to 2ohm and it hits hard sounds great but I'm confused as if I should just get a 2nd evl d4 and wire them together down to 1 ohm or repair my d2 sdr and pair it with my d4 and use 1 coil of the evl since it's 1250rms and amp is 800rms and with them together get 1 ohm or just go with the rp-2000.1d amp and run it at 2 ohm with my d4 evl which would give me over 1000rms at 2 ohm instead of it being at 1ohm. I hope you or someone can help

[@3yearsago287]

My final load is wired to 1 ohm. But when I measure it with the meter, it gives me .5 ohm which cause my amp to shut off. My amp is 1 ohm stable. Please help!!

What ohm subwoofers, how many, and how is it currently wired? Sounds like a pair of dual 2s wired to half ohm.

I have a monoblock 1ohm 1000+ watts rms can i buy 2 subs who each have 1000+ watts rms rated at 2×2 ohms? Orr is this not possible

You want TWO Dual 4 ohm(4x4) to make 1 ohm with a pair of subs and not 2 dvc 2 ohm.

Question, when you was doing the dvc 2ohm subs, and you came up with either 0.5ohm or 2 ohm load, is there a 3rd wiring option? To take it back up to 8ohm?

Correct

[@ericcole9095]

Any way to wire 1 dvc4 and 1 dvc2 on 1amp or does it have to be 2 amos

[@JacobViral2]

You could but one sub would see more power and may have phasing issues. You want the same impedance subs wiring to amp so no complications, especially if shared box.

[@cruzhernandez4946]

How do i wire up a4 ohm 12kicker cvr to a n2 ohm to match my other 12 kicker 2 ohm cvr

You need the same impedance of both subs. Don’t mix dual 4 ohm with a dual 2 ohm.

[@cedricproctor6487]

i got four 2 ohm speakers if i wire it positive to positive and negative to negative what ohm is that

[@JacobViral2]

Can u take 6 dual 1ohm speakers to a 1ohm load?

[@JacobViral2]

Not exactly 1 ohm load but right above it yes like 1.2-1.3ohm. Wire 3 sets down to 0.6 ohm and then up to 1.2-1.3 ohm.

[@Infanitunit1]

So if you had 2 ds18 3 ohm speakers what ohm lost would you have

[@JacobViral2]

1.5 ohm or 6 ohm If SCV wiring together. If DVC could be .75ohm or 12 ohm

[@MadDragon75]

Paused @ 5:54. What if you are using a 4Ω stereo amplifier and not a monoblock.. Can't you get close to 4 ohm?

[@JacobViral2]

Depends on coil readings and if scv or dvc

Thank you Jacob, I have a couple of friends that need this video! I hate being the guy that all my friends come to trying to explain and them not getting the concept.

I've got a monoblock amplifier which has 2 positive and 2 negative speaker terminals. Is there a specific way to wire your sub to these kinds of Amps or could I just choose any positive and negative to wire up to the sub. I've bought this amp second hand so I don't have access to the user manual. Please help

[@That_Car_Kidd]

You are correct. It’s a mono block so they are connected on the inside of the amp. I personally wired each coil straight to the amp connecting the coils at the amp for no wire restrictions. Some people don’t understand that and think it’s overkill but the other 2 terminals were unused due to only one sub so I figured might as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@saleemhoosen2236]

@@That_Car_Kidd I shall give that a try. Just sceptical whether it would affect the ohms at which the sub will run at. Like for example if it's a dual 4 ohm wired to 2 ohms.
