How would I wire a dual 2ohm sub to 1 ohm?

[grillman6000 10+ year member]

hello. i have a dual 2ohm sub.....but the amp i have (kicker zx2500.1) is only stable @ 2 ohms.....

on the rockford fosgate website's wiring wizard if i have a single sub with dual 2ohm vc's u can only wire it @ 1 or 4 ohms....i need it wired at 2....

maybe u cood draw me up a quick diagram in the paint program or sumthing....please.

please help.....

thnx

You can't wire it to 2 ohms dummy.

well you could get a 2 channel amp and run both coils at 2 ohms. but wiring them together on a mono amp will yeild 4 or 1 ohm

couldnt you just put positive from the sub to amp and negative of the sub to amp. wouldnt that be 2 ohms?

correct me if i'm wrong plz

if you use one voice coil instead of its intended purpose of dual voice coils. then yes you could do that

Keeee-rect.

There is no way to get a nominal 2 Ohm final load using a single DVC 2 Ohm driver.

Period.

You can only wire it to 1 Ohm (coils in parallel) or 4 Ohms (coils in series) as depicted by RF's wiring wizard.

What kind of sub are we talking about here?

Doesn't the ZX2500.1 make some pretty decent power @ 4 Ohms since we're talking about a single sub here?

this is why you should do your research before buying //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

well...i'll just bring the zx2500 back....i didnt open it yet...

i'll pick up a hifonics bxi 2006D (1800wRMS @1ohm....)

alot cheaper than the kicker too...
