2 12" Xplod subs (XS-GTX120L) connected to Sony Amp (xm zr602)

[carmania 10+ year member]

Can anyone help me with the configurations of my 2 subs and the amp,,i mean,,what will be the perfect wiring method to get the most power out of the amp to the subs?

Subs are 4ohm each with 300W RMS and 1000W Peak Power

Max. channel configuration at 4 ohm (W) - 2 x 60

Min. channel configuration at 4 ohm (W) - 1 x 130

Max. channel configuration at 2 ohm (W) - 2 x 65

Rated Output Power, RMS 20 - 20000 Hz

Max. channel configuration at 4 ohm (W) / THD (%) - 2 x 60 / 1.0

Min. channel configuration at 4 ohm (W) / THD (%) - 130 / 0.1

Max. channel configuration at 2 ohm (W) / THD (%) - 2 x 65 / 0.1

Maximum Output Power (1 kHz)

Max. channel configuration at 4 ohm (W) - 2 x 110

Min. channel configuration at 4 ohm (W) - 1 x 350

Max. channel configuration at 2 ohm (W) - 2 x 175

Just run it stereo. It doesn't look like your amp can't handle 2 ohms mono, so you won't get full power out of that amp with those subs.

 

[>>SQL<< 10+ year member]

yes those subs do not work well with that amp.

You really an amp that can handle a 2 ohm mono load

I would guess that this is your first system, you are going to be disappointed with that equipment.

You need to spend a few more dollars (or whatever the money is where you live) and buy stuff that will not only sound much better but last much longer.

The Sony Explode Line is really a low end product.

Now back to your question

Because the amp is NOT 2 OHM STABLE you will have to run 1 speaker to each channel (1 speaker to LEFT, the other to RIGHT)

Because you will not have very much power you will likely turn up the gain up to make it sound louder (not a good idea) and then you will most likely turn up the BASS on the headunit and the LOUD setting as well

All those actions will produce a clipped output on the amp (distortion) and will soon lead to you blowing your subs.

If you are able to return the stuff you have right now it would make sense to spend some money now and avoid spending much more down the road. YMMV

I already have the subs both in a vented enclosure...can u people suggest me a decent amp them?

 

[carmania 10+ year member]

Or should i connect only 1 sub to the amp?

 

[duanebro 10+ year member]

If each sub is in a separate air space then you can hook one up. You need a bigger amp in any case. Where are you? How much can you spend?

 

[carmania 10+ year member]

I think the rms value of the amp satisfies the rms value of 1 sub...

 

[>>SQL<< 10+ year member]

I do not think that amp does its rated RMS.

This would be a good strong budget amp for you.

can i connect both of my subs to this one?

can i connect both of my subs to this one?

Yes it works fine with your subs

or even better subs that you may buy later.

 

[duanebro 10+ year member]

+1 that is about the cheapest way to go. there are other options out there, they could offer even more options in the future, but they cost more. if money is tight then this is the way to go.

got a pioneer gm 7200m to power these monsters,,and i can tell,,thats called car sound!!!

What do you people suggest me to be the best subwoofer configuration for this amp???

 

[duanebro 10+ year member]

A sub that has a 2 ohm impedance. Most often a Dual 4ohm vc sub.
