[QUOTE="jcolley, post: 4361020, member: 589878"] i realize the effects of sub wiring on the amplifier but i still do not get what it does to the output of the sub itself. to figure wattage, you take voltage and multiply it by amperage. that should be common knowledge. what happens to the voltage and amperage at each stage in the travel from the + terminal on the amp to the - terminal though? i am still new to electronics and wiring so this may be even more noobish than i intend for it to be, but every time that i run the figures with my elementary knowledge of electricity, i get the same wattage output on the speaker with a given voltage no matter how i wire it. i have only run the figures with DVC 4 ohm subs, but i believe that the concept behind it should carry into different voice coils numbers and impedences. thanks for any help that you can give me. all of this is confusing me since everyone says that it matters on your output how you wire up the sub, but i am only seeing that it matters for wear on your amp. so being the noob that i am, i am doubting my calculations. thanks for any help.
