wiring tip PT.2(question)

[saintluey 10+ year member]

ok i had posted a ? on how to wire 3 subs to a two channel amp. heres some more detailed info.just would like some suggestions.

the subs are in different chambers. 3 total

heres the subs info.

SUBS

Subwoofer size 12"

Dual voice coil Yes

Voice coil design 4-Layer AVS Voice Coil

Basket design Info unavailable

Basket material Stamped steel

Woofer cone material KM3 Coated Paper

Woofer surround material PHAT foam

Fs - free air resonance (Hz) 37.4

Vas (liters) 69

xMax - maximum excursion (millimeters) 7

QTS .76

now i cant really wire them in paralle (sorry for spelling) due to the fact they are in closed chambers unless u guys know something i dont which chances are you do. heres the amps info. F.Y.I. its a sealed box.

AMP

Specifications

200 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms

400 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms

800 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms

stereo or bridged mono output

4-ohm stable in bridged mode

.

i want the best spl out of it. thanks

You can drill a hole through the middle chamber and seal it up or you can run the wire out one hole on the front of the box and in through the other. When you tighten the subs down it should still seal up.

is there any other way of wiring this, maybe by the outside connectors

 

[saintluey 10+ year member]

so anyone know any other ways? 2 channels. 3 subs

buy two nuts\bolts per inner wall division + one extra set. nothing huge, just bigger than 1" long ... drill two holes in the side of each internal brace. and one set of holes where you want the connector for the amps.

insert bolts into holes. smear silicon on the threads. put the nut on the other side. attach each wire from each subs voice coils to the appropriate terminal, and tighten the nuts to keep the wires in place.

i dont know if tha tmade sense.

if not. just get some regular terminals and install them on the internal braces.

its really not that hard. use common sense //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

yeah makes sense but im sayin there is no other way besides cutting trough the chambers, cant i use the outside connectors. heres what i thought. brigde the amp and take the wire to one sub. than to the next plug outside and so on.

do you see any reason that you shouldnt do it that way? alrighty then.. you seem like a pretty smart kid, get to it.

Uh, dude, all the wiring methods in the world are not going too work to crap hot for you. In all possible wiring methods you do not have a good match of sub to amp. Your amp is ot stable to a load below 4 ohms mono or 2 ohms stereo. End result will be a smoked amp. Find a amp that is capable of doing the job PROPERLY or use only two subs wired in a series / parallel circuit for now. This yields a 4 ohm mono load that will be safe for the amp to run.

^^^ x2

I'd be more worried about how to wire the subs to the amp than how to get the wires out of the box. Just drill a hole just big enough for the wire and stick it through. I highly doubt it will hurt the performance

This is how I would wire them. I'm assuming you have 4 ohm coils, but the pic shows 2 ohm's. So you'll run the amp bridged with a 6 ohm load.

ok that answers my question, thanks.
