If you wire those DVC 4ohm subs together in parallel- you will be in a 1ohm load,and hopefully your amplifier is 1ohm stable????
No. There is probably less than 10 2ch amplifiers in the world that can handle bridged operation at 1 ohm. This means each channel is good down to 0.5ohm.
Series/parallel with both subs will be 4ohm stable,in which just about every amp on the market can handle.Series/series with both subs will be 16ohms.If you want to be at 2ohms stable with the subs that you have ,,,you are only going to be able to hook up 1only if your amplifier is 4/2ohms mono-bridged stable,otherwise... look forward to buying a new amplifier and or speakers if you hook both up Parallel/parallel as you have stated.Before wiring up,go to sonic electronics.com and find your subs,and amplifier,and wire them properly..its free information,and you can print out and utilize.????What subs do you have,and amplifier??Alot of todays amps are severely under rated &at 14.4v peak.
No again. "A lot" of today's amps "Severely underrated" ? More like a lot of today's amps are spot on to their ratings, and the cheaper amps are often overrated.
Most vehicles cant stay at or reach the13.6v the 14.4 v,range? unless you buy ho alternator and spend some$ on upgrading the electrical??
What? My '98 Grand Cherokee's stock alternator (115A) held up to a 1600w+ RMS system just fine with minimal dimming. Know what you're doing and you can make the most out of a stock electrical system. Telling people they need to upgrade their entire electrical system for 600w RMS is asinine.
You may never reach todays amplifier specs??not on a stock alternator.I use old school 11.6v Zed Made amps.Rms is what you are trying to achieve for the most not PEAK! Of course this is all that I have experienced...So my opinion as well with respect of others?? Yet ,look up the ohms stability of your amp,then how to achieve the ohms value you wish,and wire or utilize the use of the subs you have.
