Wiring to 1 ohm with 2 single boxes

but if you want, then yes you could just wire them to the same + and - on the amp, and leave the other + and - open (assuming your amp DOES have two + and two -)

and it is a MONO amp, not a 2 ch. i didnt catch what amp it is.

the amp is Hifonics bxi608

is it a monoblock thats 1 ohm stable?

 

[Newff 10+ year member]

yea this will confuse you at first, but once you understand the concept its actually pretty helpful in terms of wiring. they make dual vc's and internally bridge the negs and pos's on the amps to make wiring easier and faster.

you can either run each sub on the seperate channels (+ -) (+ -)

or do them both in one channel (+ -) either way, its bridged on the inside of the amp.\

just make sure your vc wiring is correct or youll cook something, or not get enough power.

Ok so i just got the install done and i'm not impressed, i think they should hit WAYY harder, i'm pretty sure I wired the coils right, heres what i done"

looks right. what subs?

Kicker cvr's 12" dvc 4 ohms

it doesn't sound much louder than when i had only 1 of them hooked up to a infinity 300 rms amp

how much power does this amp make at 1 ohm? what is your electrical? what size wire you run?

I dont know if this has any problems, but i once hooked my friend's subs like that, and one of them was getting more power. Instead of going from one box to the other one and twisting the cables together, try wiring each box to one + - terminal in the amp.

thats what i was shooting for, but should be the same i think. take each sub directly to the amp
