Okay so I'm planning buying this amp and pair of subs
http://www.amazon.com/Hifonics-BRX1100-1D-Vehicle-Subwoofer-Amplifier/dp/B00BHSTTLU/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
Amazon.com : Pair of (2) Kenwood Kfc-w3013ps 12" 4 Ohm Performance Series Car Subwoofer with 2400 Watt Peak / 800 Watt RMS : Vehicle Subwoofer Systems : Electronics
Long story short, I sold my old setup now I'm downgrading for this setup because of funds. I'm buying these so that I don't have to buy an extra enclosure (I already had this one laying around so it saves me money)
I just double checked my box, it's a Probox 212 Turbo Bass and each sub/side is divided so I don't think I can wire them both to 2 ohms because each sub has it's own port. So I'm thinking I'm going to have to wire them to 4 ohms. right?
Since my subs will be individually divided in the enclosure, could i still wire them them down to 2 ohms? I'm thinking... I'll have two wires for each sub coming out OUTSIDE of the terminal of the enclosure and i'll just tie the four speaker wires (2+ and 2-) and tie them together to form a 2 ohm bond? and wire those two onto my monoblock?
If i can't do that, how can I wire my two subs 4ohms into a monoblock? do the wires just share the terminals on the amp? (2+) wires in the positive terminal and (2-) wires in the negative terminal? If I do that, will each subwoofer be getting 400 watts of RMS? or would each subwoofer be getting only 200 watts of RMS?
Also, I've google imaged and looked at other websites that have this amp, the pictures show that the amp actually has 4 terminals. I was thinking that since it's a monoblock amp it would only have 2 terminals but everywhere I look it's showing 4 terminals, if that's the case that's perfect because I can just wire both my subs to 4 ohms x 400watts RMS each. Can anyone confirm this?
I apologize for asking, I've been out of the game a while and completely forgot how it works and I've researched wiring diagrams but all the wiring diagrams show the way to wire them ASSUMING the box isn't divided into two separate parts.
EDIT: I have my amplifier and subwoofers installed! But now my subwoofers aren't even that loud! I'm getting little output on them! Help! More details in my latest post, just scroll down. Please and Thank you!
