I should know this but i dont, please help

I have a DVC 4 ohm but it has 4 sets of positive and negs. on it. To achieve a 2 ohm load would i hook all of the positives together then run one wire to the positive on the amp from one post and likewise for the negs. or am i missing something?

I hooked up my PG Ti12d Elite to my buddies 600 watt alpine amp and the thing had an A$$ load of excursion but made very little to no sound. Im thinking either i had the wiring wrong or it was under powered or a combo of both.

Please help me

if its DVC, it should have 2 positives, and 2 negatives, not 4 of each.

ps- i was in York/Lancaster pa last week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i think i read that wrong, but yes it would be both +'s and both -'s together, then + to the amp and - to the amp, that makes 2 ohm (parallel)

well it has a pos and neg at 4 corners. so it would be......... pos/neg...... pos/neg...... pos/neg..... pos/neg.

I thought i just hooked all the pos together and all the neg together and run on wire from one pos and one neg to the amp.

I cant find a schematic anywhere on the internet for this design

then you have quad voice coil, not dual.

what is your exact sub?

and if it is quad 4 ohm, and you have + + + + and - - - - you're @ 1 ohm.

He is probably running the Pg Ti12D elite in his sig?

hmm im not sure then.....

Dude, you cant really TELL ME what my voice coil config is, im here to TELL YOU what the config is. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Its a PG TI12d Elite, its DEFINATLY a DVC 4ohm and i DEF. have 4 sets of pos and neg at 4 corners of the sub.

Im pretty sure the newer Kicker CVR is the same sort of set up but i dont remember too clearly

im not telling you anything man, im just saying the subs ive seen that are dual voice coil, only have 2 sets of (+/-)

the ones ive seen with 4 sets of (+/-) were all quad voice coil....thats my .02

 

[ravens9322 10+ year member]

i would typically agree with you but i know this kind of set up is out there and im just not familiar enough with it to be confident.

Thats why i was asking around

 

[orangecounty1 10+ year member]

im not familiar either, so i'd like to know about this as well.

 

[ravens9322 10+ year member]

the worst part is there is a wiring diagram sticky at the top here and the **** pictures dont work so i cant figure this out.

Im pretty sure it shows this schematic in there

I had an older Audiobahn sub that had 4 negatives and 4 positives.

where? link?
