Dual 2 Ohm wiring help

[threedd97 10+ year member]

I know Dual 2 ohm can go negative > negative to negative on amp and same for the positive to obtain 1ohm stable through the amp (if the amp outputs power @ 1 ohm). Can you wire this any differently to get 4 ohms or 2 ohms or anything? Or am I stuck at 1 ohm as my only choice?

search the vc wiring options sticky in the wiring help part of this wite, it will help you there, btw, it can go to 4 ohm also

I thought so about the 4 ohm. With these amp specs, what kind of power will it see:

4X 75 RMS 4 Ohm @ .04%THD

4 X 150 RMS 2 Ohm

2 X 300 Watts RMS Power (4 Ohm)

It's not my equipment. I sold my D2 XXX to a friend and he has this ghetto multichannel Planet Audio TT4300 amp.

I know whatever this amp will push won't be REMOTELY enough for this sub, it's temporary until the end of the month and I'll have him buy a 1500w @ 1ohm monoblock at the least.

And thanks for the link to the help thread, it helped a lot.

Here are your wiring options for a single Dual 2 Ohm subwoofer.

Enjoy!

the best thing to do with a 4ch amp to one sub is just bridge ch 1 and 2 to get the 300rms at 4 ohm, then wire ur sub up to get the 4 ohms........ dont even mess with ch 3 and 4 unless you got another sub to hook up the same way

wiring option

at 2 ohms per coil connect them to channels 3 & 4 in the amplifier. This way you get 300w RMS into the speaker and have 2 free channels to run mids etc

I know it won't. I ran a 1500w Cadence ZRS-8 to it in my car, but between the box literally taking up my entire trunk and my rears seats not folding down except for that little middle section ('98 grand prix gt) it sounded like shit compared to what it sounds like in his 4runner on that crappy amp at only 300w. I can't imagine what it will sound like with the proper wattage and a better amp.
