how to wire kicker COMP an CVR. 10'' to rockford fosgate 500.2

[hondaracer48 10+ year member]

i have an old *** rockford fosgate t500.2 an was using 2 kicker comps but just bought a CVR an need to know how to wire this. my amp is bridgeable. the kicker comp has 2 terminals, im not sure what ohm load it is. the CVR is a dual 2 ohm with 4 terminals. can i run one short speaker wire from one positive to neg. terminal an then bridge the other 2 terminals, then for the COMP just hook the speaker wires into the two middle speaker plug ins on the amp? yes i am going to buy another cvr in a few weeks just didnt have money for 2 right now. please help me with this! let me know if you need more info

You can not run different ohm rated subs together. Also do not run 2 different model subs wtf....

that's how you wire up the one d2 sub

im obviously a beginner at all of this. should i just disconnect the comp speaker an run the dual 2 cvr? if so how do i wire it

check that link. What amp are you running?

bridged at 4ohms and yes just the one for now, do it right or don't do it at all.

he said the rf 500.2 so I would only go 2ohms per channel or 4ohms total bridged.

missed that. Run each voice coil of its own ch! JKJK don't do that but wire to 4 ohms bridged on the amp

•75 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms

•150 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 at 1 ohm)

•300 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode (at 4 ohms)

•500 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode (at 2 ohms)

•1-ohm stable (2-ohm stable in bridged mode)

i found this info about my amp. so whats the best way to run it an how should i wire this? thank you guys for the info, im trying to learn all of this on my own

option 3 bud! one ohm bridged would be 0.5ohm per channel and that's your only other option.

This is prolly a dumb question but why should I wire it to 4 ohms bridged if its a 2 ohm amp?

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

because you need another sub to get to 2 ohm. you can only wire a dual 2 ohm sub to 1 ohm or 4 ohm. since you cannot run 1 ohm on your amp, you need to run it at 4 ohm

 

[hondaracer48 10+ year member]

Well it says my amp is 1 ohm stable. An thanks a lot I get it now lol

It is only one ohm stable on each channel. NOT bridged.

So don't wire the d2 sub parallel on that thing bridged. Use a d4 parallel on it bridged for the most power.

Your amp is 1 ohm stable per channel, but only 2 ohms when bridged. If you wired that sub to 1 ohm, you could only run it on one channel.

Since you can only wire your sub to 1 ohm or 4 ohm, you'd have to run it at 4 ohms bridged to get the most power out of it

Honestly you're better off just running your two kicker comps at 2 ohms bridged than that 1 cvr at 4 ohms bridged.

This, the SVC subs on that low amount of power are going to be more efficient than the DVC CompVR would be. Trade the CVR for a Comp+cash.

Trust me, we've ran 4 12" Comps on 1500w, then did a direct swap for CVRs and lost quite a bit of output (although did gain on the low end)
