Help wiring Kenwood subwoofer DVC

[Alekz]

Hi there

I plan to buy 1 subwoofer "Kenwood KFC XW1224D 600wRMS / 2x 300w RMS", which is 4Ohm x 2 coils (4 ohm + 4 ohm)

And i have "Sound Barrier" amplifier with 600w power (2x 300w)

I'm in doubt if i can run the subwoofer with this amplifier

Impedance of amplifier is 4Ohm

So, is there a way i can run a dual coil 4Ohm sub, with a 4Ohm amplifier?

Maybe i can connect them like 2x 300w from aplifier to 2x 300w sub?

If you wire the dual 4 ohm voice coils in your woofer in parallel ( plus to plus, and minus to minus), it should result in a 2 ohm impedance for each speaker. Make sure your amplifier is stable at 2 ohms. If you wire them in series ( a plus of one to a minus of another), your result will be 8 ohm impedance. Again make sure your amp can handle the 8 ohms impedance. You may want to wait for others to weigh in, before you wire your woofer.

Wow. that's a pretty big amp for being less than 200 watts.

Do not pay attention to peak power. It simply applies to being a few seconds on subs. RMS/continuous is what your wanting to look for.

Don't think that amp will work very well for those subs
