Sup people I just purchase my MB quart da1-300.1 mono amp and I'm trying to wire to 1ohm the subs I have are 4ohm dvc and I wire them down to 1ohm now how can wire it to 1ohm in my amp being that's 2ch amp if I'm saying this right

If it's a mono amp it is only 1 channel with 2 outputs

If it's a mono amp. It should have a positive and negative wire input. If it's a 2 chan amp. Then you can bridge it and put the positive on chan 1 and the negative on chan 2. Hope that helps.

monoblocks normally have two pairs of ++ and -- to make wiring easier, its still a monoblock not a 2 channel, dont get confused. Just wire parallel normally.

it has ++ & -- so it's a 2ch amp

Ya it has ++ & -- so to wire it to 1ohm I'll use the far end of the positive positive & the far end of the negative right

Yes sir

nope, its not a 2 channel amp. you have a mono block. to get a 1 ohm load you need to change your wiring at the subs not the amp. you have 2 dvc 4 ohm subs, wire them in parallel and you have your 1 ohm load

it has ++ & -- so it's a 2ch amp

convenience feature, it's a mono

This is the way I have my sub wire from The terminal on one side positive to the other terminal on the positive side same thing on the negatives and then I jumped a lead wire to the other sub to positive and negative and that the same thing like I did to the first sub so that brings me to 1ohm correct

Consult the link posted for you in this thread. Do it EXACTLY that way. You have 2 pos and 2 neg connections so you don't have to cram 2 sets of wires into 1 speaker terminal.

You don't need to post a pic, we know exactly what it looks like.

Ok so being my amp has ++ & -- and my subs are already wire down to 1 ohm which positive & negative should I hook up too
