Amp problem, 1 rca louder than 2?

You mean negatives off the right channel ?

Sorry bad fingers.

but yes, you eliminate the negative output from one side and the positive output from the other and use the remaining outputs as a single mono channel.

Does this change though with 2 speakers when bridging?

You just piggyback the wires on top of each other, AKA- jam two wires into one terminal.

So would I take the wires from both speaker terminal cups and match the positives and negatives. and run the positives to the right channel positives, and the negatives to the left channel negative, and then itw ould be bridged?

What ohm would the amp be seeing doing this though?

Ok you already answered before I could ask, but what about the ohm load?

I am not sure what this amp can handle, but I have heard it is very underrated and can take some abuse

What are the sub woofer voice coil ratings for each coil.

EG-what is the ohm rating for each individual coil, you have two DVC subs so you have 4individual coils.

dual 2 ohm I believe

 

[jucaraman 10+ year member]

according to that it should be 2 ohm right?

This will provide the same amount of power to the subs that they are getting now but they will be recieving a mono signal so they share the same amount of power at all times.

I don't think your amp can handle a 2ohm mono load, you could try it but if the amp starts cutting out alot, rewire it for the 8ohm mono load.

cool thanks,

what if I did the one above?

Would I gain more power?

Yes you will get more power at 2ohms then 8ohms, but if your amp cant handle the 2ohm load you will have no choice but to go with the 8ohm load.

when you say cutting out will it shut off or what?

 

[jucaraman 10+ year member]

It doesnt have any warning lights or anything on it

 

[jucaraman 10+ year member]

is there a quick way to check my polarity is correct without removing the speaker from the box?

It will just stop working until you shut down the system and restart it, most amps have a protection circuit in them that shut them down in the event of overheating, improper ohm load or incorrect polarity on the power terminals.
