well my current setup is like my pic need to copy and paste the URL into a dif browser...

well i dont totally under stand ohms... i think i have it set up for optimal power...

its a JL 500/1 mono stable at 1.5 ohm amp...

2 12 W3D4 (4 ohm) DVC subs....
im 80% sure thats how they are wired inside the box...

thx for all inputs...



cory see sig for real pictures of setup!

 

We're sorry!
The Webshots page you have requested has either moved or no longer exists.

 

HMMMMMMM well....

go to

then go to random stuff, then i think its on the 2nd page..


grr

It looks like you have the subs wired so that they will present a 4 ohm load to the amp. It appears in your pic that you have each sub's VC's wired in series. This makes each sub 8 ohms. Then you have the 8 ohm subs wired in parallel to the amp which presents a 4 ohm load total.

You would be better off with subs with dual 8 ohm VC's. That way you connect the VC's in parallel to make each sub 4 ohms. Then you could wire the now 4 ohm subs to the amp in parallel for a final 2 ohm load.

I don't know all the specs on your amp but usually an amp will put out a lot more power into 2 ohms than it will 4

 

thx

how would i re-wire them to put a 2 ohm load on the amp...

thx cory

if can plz do a pos pic like i did in paint or something...

hehe
thx

 

You can't get a 2 ohm load with the subs you have now.

Like I said above you need subs with dual 8 ohm voice coils. You would then wire them parallel/parallel for a 2 ohm load.

This is what you have now...

This is what you need to do but with dual 8 ohm voice coiled subs...

so would have been better to get 8 ohm subs?

cries

either way, they still sound great 8']

 

i have subs that have the two connections on it would i get more power to them if i connect them like the pic below???
