[QUOTE="soulknight, post: 8481869, member: 668931"] I bought a Kenwood X801-5 amplifier that is stable at 2 or 4 ohms. Should I pair it with a 1, 2 or 4 ohm DVC and am I wiring the DVC in series or parallel? What affect will each have on the amplifier and the sub? 300 watts RMS is more than I will ever need. I pulled this off of a Q&A on Crutchfield for one of the subs I was looking at and got more confused. "The Subwoofer is set up with 2 ea. 2-ohm coils which dependent on your system could be wired in series at 4 ohm, or in parallel at 1 ohm. " These are 3 subs I am looking at: Kicker 40CWRT671 - CompRT shallow-mount 6-3/4" subwoofer with dual 1-ohm voice coils. Kicker 40CWRT672 - CompRT shallow-mount 6-3/4" subwoofer with dual 2-ohm voice coils [IMG]http://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1DVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg[/IMG] A 4ohm DVC if I can find one.
