Amp for 12" type R

Again sorry i know so little about all of this!so i need to use all of the +'s and -'s on the sub for it to be a 2 ohm load on the amp? so 2 speaker wires or what after this question i may under stand and if i under stand correct 500 watts out of 1500 watts is very low 1500-500=1000 so lacking 1000 watts my sub could have?

back of amp says 775 watts dynamic power x 1 into 2 ohms 14.4 vdc?

Also. 75a is what the amp needs. if i use a 60a fuse i blow them but if i go to 80a fuse i will fry amp what do i do stay with 60a fuse? i blast my music soo..

a 80 amp fuse will be fine

Yes very much so i had i wired wrong i had 1 wire in each + and - on the sub so i need it in both +'s and -'s. and then to the amp. after this will i see a difference in performance?

yes you should

Yes.......IF the sub is 4 ohm dvc. If you have a 2 ohm dvc sub, you'll be wiring it to 1 ohm and that may damage your amplifier.

Take the sub out of the enclosure and post the model number, man. Seriously. Help us help you...

I don't know how to make it any easier for you, bro.
- Take a piece of speaker wire.

- Put one end of the wire in a + terminal on the sub.

- Put the other end of the wire in the other + terminal on the sub.

- Take another piece of wire.

- Put it in one of the + terminals on the sub.

- Put the other end in the + terminal of the amplifier.

- Repeat the same EXACT process with the - terminals.

Do you understand?

It's 4 ohm dvc. Wire it like the diagram I posted.

This is how i had it. lol idk why but it just wont hit lows at all. i know it can. i'm thinking it needs more power.. out of the 1500 watts how much is it getting.

yep looks good man

 

[SpringfieldOhio 10+ year member]

is that how it was wired or how you just wired it?

 

[Derick 10+ year member]

It was wired like this already idk why the hell it wont hit my lows then darn it lol! like i cant listen to "***** money weed" because the lows u can barely feel but if i go touch the sub its moving when it hits them.

sooo gain eq and freq on amp turned up all the way? and a 80 amp fuse wont fry my amp? I have 60a fuse currently

most prefabs are tuned high thats probably why it is distorting on the lows....does your amp have a sub sonic filter?
