about to wire my subs

[SocialStealth]

x2 dvc 4ohms

Need them to be 1 ohm.

Just to be sure...

Inside the box I connect the - to - to terminals out of the box -.

Do that for both speakers.

Then outside of the box, do I go from the terminal - to terminal - (so 1 speaker's terminal has x2 wires in it)

OR do I go from terminal - to amp - and the other terminal - to amp -, so the amp has x2 wires in the same hole?

(and the same for +'s)

There are 4 spots to put speaker terminals on the subwoofers themselves.

2 are black on 1 side, on the other side there are 2 red ones.

Black is - and red is +, right?

I thought it was supposed to be 1 - and 1 + on each side??

I'm confused???

the diagrams confuse me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

they left me with the above questions...

Black to black to neg on amp

red to red to pos on amp

so yes one of the terminals will have 2 wires in it on the subs

This is the wiring that was inside of the box (just took the subs out to look at it)

Is it correct for a 1 ohm setup?

All the diagrams for 1ohm x2 4ohm dvc's shows 1 + and 1- on EACH side.

This looks like it just has 2 -'s on 1 side and 2 +'s on 1 side.

And there was only 1 wire connected to 1 of the -'s and 1 of the +'s ?

Is this right? Or did the previous owner only power 1 coil or something??

I'm such a noob //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

those are not dual coil subs

 

[SocialStealth]

Crap, why are there 2 tongs for terminals on each side??

And any idea what the specs are on these subs then?

They're supposed to be kicker comp vr's, but I thought those were all dvc?

They're cvr c12d

(d-series)

from like 2000, wtf //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The only specs I can find say "400 max"

No RMS rating?

I can only wire them up to 2 or 8 ohms, so I'm going to give them 600w @ 2 ohm.

Should the wire go speaker > speaker > amp (2 wires in 1 speaker terminal)

or speaker > amp // speaker > amp ? (2 wires in each amp hole)

I am new here, and this may not help you, but it's worth a shot.

The sub you posted is single voice coil, dual voice coil has 2 + and 2 - per sub

Use the rockford wiring wizard, much easier to understand whats going on

Ok so, I've run into another problem...

There are 4 things for speaker wires on my amp (specs in quote above)

x2 - next to eachother then x2 + next to eachother.

wtf do i do now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Should I put the speaker - #a into amp - #1

speaker - #b into amp - #2

speaker + #a into amp + #1

speaker + #b into amp + #2

??

Will this give me 2 ohms?

(x2 single 4ohm subs)
