I learned this stuff back in the 90's. I had 4 15" Rockford Fosgate subs and I ran them Parallel/Series to get a 4 ohm load on the 4 subs. While my amps could run at 1 ohm the subs couldn't take the power as I was running 1400 wat at a 4 ohm load. I wish youtube was around back then cause I would've learned all this so much faster than reading it from books. Great video!

@@Qualitymobilevideo question. Please respond. I have 3 settings on my amp. LPF dial from 30-250hz. I have a subsonic dial from 30-50. Then i have the gain. I only have a button to go from 0-6-12db. My question is, where should the LPF dial be set at, and same question for the subsonic dial? I have 2 Memphis PR 15's in a ported SPL box and the subs sound really good, but since I've done so much audio over the years and i got out of it for a few years, then back in it, I've lost my touch.

[@lowhertzhighspl]

3:20 and then wire each to it's own wire terminal cups and wire those cups directly to the amp. If your amp has dual terminals, they are the same channel so connecting to each terminal pair is exactly like twisting the two wires/speakers/channels together.. making it a parallel connection. This tip is for those who have an enclosure that has separate chambers and two separate wire terminal cups.. like I always have.

[@mmotobr6935]

lol i just wrote for help on exactly that issue. didnt want to drill hole thru the chambers for wire...but ,getting rid of a possible air leak from one of these terminal cups will be a goal in my next encloser,thanks alot your input is wat i couldnt find in an actual video.im going to wire it up RIGHT NOW.IN MY TOYOTA SIENNA VAN LOL,BOOM DIDEBOOMBOOM

[@dugy40]

I needed to read this. He didn’t explain.

[@VelociWyatt]

Im sorry i'm new to this but let me make sure I have this right... so I would wire posi to posi and neg to neg on one sub, then wire to the cup, and do the same for the other sub? (so I dont have to wire the connection to the other sub?) Then connecting both cups to the amp will make a parrellel connection for 1 ohm imp? I also have an enclosure with two separate chambers and would like to avoid drilling a hole in the middle. Thank you to anyone who can answer this for me

[@VelociWyatt]

Ok I think i might understand now but I'm still not entirely sure. I would wire each sub positive to positive and negative to negative and then to each cup. Then, from each cup outside the box, I would connect positive to positive and negative to negative and then wire that connection to the amp?

Chad Jay. Skar sent a rep to my house. He brought the upgraded 350.1, i was having power issues with ohms and rms/peak power was pretty much the same. Proved this with a Kenwood excelon mono sub 600 watt. I used to power 3 w6's with it & a Phoenix gold 3 way Amp(really 4:1, could power 4 door speakers and a sub separately). Hopefully you're keeping up, I then trade the 3 JLs for jbl comp 15 in the biggest box I ever owned. I couldn't take the rattle or the box size anymore & JL cameoutwiththe W7 and I had to haveit, so then I sold the 15 with the custom box, and got a JL W7-12inch & it's absolutely ridiculously awesome beautiful breath taking insane ground pounding Mike Tyson Jab jab & then BOOM!! KNOCKOUT... Skar ended up comping(giving) me the 900.1 mono, wires, an Optima battery(just for the Amps & sub), & a Duracell power capacitor that looked like a giant AA battery. Call Skar or wherever you got it from & Bitch! That there is no difference rms/peak because there isn't, and u will get what you should have gotten the 1st TIME, an AMP capable of powering any sub or subs & u can wire it however you like & hear a difference 😉

Please reply your very knowledgeable, I want to buy 2 audiopipe txxbd415" in a ported of course. They say they are 1400 rms so I'm thinking maybe a skar 3500.1d will push both even tho I wanted separate amps but the subs are 4ohm. Don't want any other subs except these. Can I still get separate amps and somehow wire my 4 ohm sub to 1 amp or do I have to have both subs on 1 amp to get 1ohm from 4? Also what size wore would you recommend from speakers to amp? Would a separate amp for each sub sounds better than 1 amp on 2 subs?

[@RandoManFPV]

Sonic electronics shows this exact setup but with a slightly different connection to the amp. Instead the amp feeds straight into one sub following the same wire pattern on that sub then to the other sub with again the same positive to positive and negative to negative connections as yours. I'm just curious if both outcomes are the same or if this makes any difference at all

[@obsnathan9289]

would the 4 ohm load need another wire to the amp. or does those two parallel wires go directly to the amp without another wire added?

Can i connect one red on each and on the other 2 left connectors of each sub can i connect those to the wires that are coming in from the little outlet outside of the sub box??

[@timerhardt7528]

This is what I originally wanted to do with the L7 15’s. What stopped me was the cost of the amp required to power the pair, the fact that my truck’s electrical is not upgraded and the box I wanted to build was going to be literally twice the size almost of my current box. ( again, wifey hates it but she never rides in my truck when we’re out, we take her car ) I had also learned, mainly by graphing literally every design size and tune I could come up with for a pair, that a single in a bigger box than recommended ( EBS as mentioned before ) would be sufficient so that’s what I went with. I really enjoy checking out the output graphically ( I’m using Kicker U for iOS - paid version ) because it gives you a chance to see how well or how poorly the sub will perform in any given design. Port velocity, rise, power requirements, xmax, etc. It was and still is something I want but will probably never do because I’m not independently wealthy LOL, anywho.

[@ericlawson5852]

When wiring two DVC 4 ohm speakers to run 1ohm at the amplifier such as your first sample in this video - how do you get two 11 gauge positive speaker leads to fit into one positive speaker terminal and the same on the negative? My Hifonics subs have the push style connections where you insert the wire into the hole and release the pressure on the binding post? not sure if using the proper terminology.

[@brianshuster4702]

So if my amp is a monoblock but has two channel inputs would that be the same as bridging down to 1 ohm if I ran each subwoofer to its own positive and negative input ?

[@edgaralonso3659]

Okay I understand the point. The speakers are going to work eaither way, but what is the difference at afterwards between those two set ups ???

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Each impedance offers you a specific rate of power. The lower the impedance, the more power you can get. But it's still a little more complicated than saying they'll just work. Your amplifier has to match to the specific wiring impedance you intend to make as well as in power compared to the compared MRS of the sub(s)

[@hustleminded]

So what RMS rating on a mono D amp should I be looking for if I want to run them at 4OHM load ? The RMS of my subs are 600 watts

[@hammerdown3876]

Great video! the best one I have found. I do have a question though on the 1 ohm final. My monoblock amp has 2 sets of speaker outputs. How do I hook up to the amp at that point with only 2 wires? Thanks!

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Great question! I should write a script about this. Most monoblocks come with just one set of terminals, but plenty of manufacturers design them with two sets. Monoblock amplifiers are ideally used to wire one or two subwoofers to. Bridging two subwoofers to a monoblock amplifier with one set of terminals is simple, you just put the two positive connections on the same positive terminal, and the two negative connections in the two negative terminals. But cramming two wires onto each terminal can sometimes be a little difficult or might not feel completely secure. That’s why some monoblocks are designed with two sets of terminals, so that when you bridged two subwoofers to the amplifier, each sub gets its own set of terminals, and it’s still one channel operation. It just makes life a little easier when wiring multiple subs. You can of course still use the two sets of terminals to wire one subwoofer to, you just instead use the left positive terminal and the negative terminal. All of this information will be in your installation manual.

[@Apolloneek]

I have a Rockville amp that has 2 channels and is rated for 1 ohm. I’m assuming the 1 ohm is for the two channels bridged. Is there a way to wire 2 4 ohm subs at 2 ohms? Like can I wire one to one channel at 2 ohms and the other to a channel at 2 ohms or would that be 4 ohms?

[@_NEW3RA_]

Ok, my question is........ wired down to 1 ohm. Amp rated at 1500 watts at 1 ohm. So, is that 750 watts going to each sub or 1500 watts going to each sub?

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

The amplifier is only capable of 1500 Watts. It cannot double in power. The 1500 watts will split to 750 each sub

Yo. I've had a system before. But never knew all this. Got a new one. A lot smaller tho. My question is.... What's the difference between how you just wired those. Making it a 1ohm or 4 ohm. What's the difference between dual voice coil and other. I'll tell you what I got maybe you could tell me what you think. I got 2 8" kicker comp subs, they are 4 ohm dual voice coil. What ever that means.... And I also got a Rockford fosgate 500watt mono amp. Not sure but I know I can make em hit. I'm just not sure the best way to wire it up is. What do you think?

So with the parallel wiring to end with 4 ohms, you look for a amp with a 4 omh rms wattage of both the woofers combined? And the speakers count as one channel or input ?

I have this same question

[@angelmacias5887]

Gonna grab a set of P3 12s 4ohms I believe would a amp with 1 channel work good or is there better?

A monoblock will work just fine
