nevermind, didnt see the black wire. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

so im still scrweed

yep, its wired at 4 ohms getting 220 watts rms.

soooooooo??????

Yes, follow the diagram on the crutchfield link. You will only be sending the subwoofer ~250 watts @ 4ohm...but neither of your amps are 1 ohm stable,which is your only other option..

If u want to get the 400 rms from that amp u will need another sub and has to be D4, or D1

Well isn't that how it already is wired ^^^^^^, so why is not loud at all

my god I'm stupid tonight. I give up

**** this whole time i was under the impression of why would an amp push two subs harder than 1, how can that be? Yet its true??

So I need some solutions guys

OK so my wiring is wrong (which would be a major problem) right?!

The final answer is that you dont have enough power...lol

But why wouldn't it push the subwoofer AT all.... he said it hit hard in his car and i believe him off that same amp..... what if anythign should i do? The wiring is right?????

answer me this

1)The wiring is right or wrong????

2) The sub is probably fine?

3) What kind of amp should i look out for to power it?

I also have an alpine mrp F200 4 channel amp but i doubt it would be powerful enough or make any difference bridged to the sub

No the wiring is correct, your sub is a D2 which can turn into 4 or 1ohm. Since your amp is not 1 ohm stable its sees a 4 ohm load which gives it 200 rms. If u want to get the full 400 rms u will net to get sub that is D1 or D4.

Generally an amp makes more power at lower impedences. Wiring 2 subs would drop the impedence to 2 ohm, which produces ~400 watts from your particular amp. With 1 sub you're at 4 ohm...which is only ~200 watts.

man i am just trying to get an understanding, sorry if it is causing you grief

 

[Bimmerdriver 10+ year member]

, your sub is a D2 which can turn into D4 or D1. u will net to get sub that is D1 or D4.

so my sub can transform into a d4 or d1 and i need to get another d1 or d4 then get a bigger box for the two...... why don't i just get an amp for the sub that will work

Look for an amp thats 1ohm stable. Match the Rms from the amp to the RMS from the sub.
