Would this be a good setup?

Hi, I am wondering if two Pioneer TSW261S4 10-Inch Champion/SINGL 4OHM/1200W/4 Subwoofers would be good paired with a Boss Audio Riot 1100 watt amp. I would get a different amp but I already have it installed in my car.

Wtf....thread/question makes no sense. That amp is junk btw.

Get a better amp.....and subs if you can. So what if you got the amp installed already. Just means you gotta install the new amp if you get another.

Seeing that you have a lot of knowledge in the car audio field. How would I go about wiring my monoblock amp to two infinity sub woofers? Whenever I wire one sub to the other and one terminal goes to the amp it doesn't produce much bass. It just sits there and moves the subs back and forth a lot faster than only having one connected.

Sounds like its outta phase. If she's ah moving producing no bass, then it's wired wrong.

Oh okay thanks! How would I go about wiring it correctly? I really appreciate your help.

whats the amp and are the subs dvc?

 

[kadenstratton]

Single voice coil and it is the Boss Riot R1100. It is 850 watts RMS, which I know is very over rated and boss amps are that good. But I would expect at least some bass to be produced.

I have tried wiring them like this

and this

but I get the same result from each.

Those subs are 2 ohms each?

 

[kadenstratton]

I should have checked that while I had them pulled out of the enclosure earlier. I do not know if they are 2 or 4. But lets say they were 2 ohm, how would I run it? and same with 4 ohm. How would I run it. Just so tomorrow ill pull it out and check and wire it how you have told me depending on the ohms. Thanks again.

I would go with diagram 1....I doubt that the Boss amp is 1 ohm stable, and likely to damage it pretty quick. Safe to stay with diagram 1.

That's a 250 watt amp...it's not gonna blow the doors off but should make a little thump. It's nowhere near 1100 the claimed amount is. Disregard that number.

Diagram 1 is putting both speakers in parallel.

I guess my 500W amp may kick a little! It sure seems to!

True true. Ill try the first diagram again. I'll get back with you tomorrow. Thanks.

Hi! I got it figured out and it does hit hard now! Thanks for the help! I got it figured out, it was my brothers fault. He had one of the subs wired to the terminal backwards so I was hooking the negative to the positive and the positive to the negative. I'm glad you said it was a wiring issue or I would not have checked that.

You are such an idiot.

Diagram 1 is putting the speakers in SERIES not parallel
