Just a simple Question

[Bluehawk248]

I have two Kenwood 12's in a box and there is only one wire hook up in the back. Does this mean that I have to hook my amp up as one channel and my subs will split it on their own? Maybe a better question is how should i set up my amp?

What impedence are the subs ? Depending on that you might be able to bridge the subs to a mono load. And bridge the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the impendance of my subs is 4 ohms. To be honest with you I have no idea what the impendance means or does.

It means how much your sub will pull.

You need to find an amp rated at something x 1 at 4 ohms. Then when you hook it up you will pull exacltly that much.

if the sub is 300 watts @ 4 ohms, and you hook it up to an amp that is 400 watts @ 4 ohms then that 300 watt sub will pull 400 watts

The impedence is the electrical resistance of the voive coils. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif You could either use an amp that is two ohm stable when bridged, a mono amp that is two ohm stable. Or a 2 channel amp that puts out the amount your looking for. As for the one wire cup. You could always add another. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
