3 years later and still very helpful! Thank you!!

This was as crystal clear as it can get. I thank you bro. This was great.

Great explanation of configuring the subwoofer. The instructions that came with the sub I purchased only showed the half ohm setup. Once I saw your drawing examples my rockville amp was min 2 ohm setup.

As a beginner doing my first sub wiring, this helped so much! Thank you so much

Glad you made this vid. I personally am a 'pay to play' guy so I never touch any of this stuff, but it's so good to know this info. Thanks!

Me too for the most part lol

By far the most informative video on KZread concerning a single dual voice coil sub. Thank you so much!

It's awesome that you help your customers the way you do. My training I've been advised, never run series between separate subs, only on the individual sub. The resistance from the wire in-between the subs has resistance that can cause issues, especially with dampening. And never run each coil directly to individual channels of the amp, especially if you aren't running a high end amp, as their can be a slight difference in the output between the individual channels, and definitely not a coil between separate amps. This can cause coil separation.

PERFECT!!!! I have a DVC 1ohm 1000rms. I'm a noob to this and super excited. Thanks for this video! I took a screenshot! I got the Deaf Bonce DB252 12 inch D1 with a Hertz HDP1 at 2ohm I will get 1000rms 😊 I also got a 102amp alternator which should help with power through 4 gauge setup.

Good video JP! Nice and simple right to the point.

This helped me understand so much easier thank you for the awesome video

Another great video JP I also enjoy sharing knowledge to

I'm thinking about going with a 12 inch subwoofer but I don't know which one to get. I have limited it down to either a Sundown Audio SA-12 or a DC Audio level 2 12 m2. Any recommendations?

What’s the ohm going to be for one dvc 2ohm wired using one coil..I bought a single 2 ohm dvc and want it for a 2 ohm amp

hey can you give me some advice, i have a single 4ohm dual voice coil woofer can i use dual bridged mode to power the coils separately. amplifier i am using is Sony XM-GS4 4ohm bridged. woofer is a focal RSB-300. your response is much appreciated.

I mistakenly purchased a dual 2ohm sub and my amp is only rated for 2ohm loads, so based of the diagram I can either run it as 1ohm or 4ohm. Is it safe to just wire one voice coil to get the full 2ohm load or just buy another amp?

have a jl jx500.1 MONO amp with 4 speaker outputs and one Dual voice coil 2ohm Kicker comp rt subwoofer, i want to run this sub @500rms@2ohm. Can i connect each voice coil (2+ and 2-) separately to the amp and it will run at 2ohm?

Please answer, if I have 2 amps and 1 sub. My box has 1 set of + and - terminals. Is it going to be a problem to have both amp positive and negatives going threw the same post and then to each voice coil or does they need to be seperate and not connect together at the box wire post for the speaker wire. Thank you Dumb question I know and it seems stupid to do, but just confirming before I wire it up. Thanks

Ok so the have a 1993 Lexus SC300 with the factory 10" sub in the back deck. I'm replacing the sub with a 10" Dual Voice Coil sub. Don't need it pounding, just good, clean sound, giving a little bottom to the music which is mostly classic rock. What OHM sub should I get and just get a 2 Channel amp? How would I wire this?

Ohh now I’m overwhelmed buy this lol and haft to save up for a better amp than what I got now. What would you guys use for home audio ?

I have a Memphis pr1x1000 amplifier and 1 800 watt Memphis 12..... The amplifier seems to barely push the 12...? 1 Dvc 800watt and a 1000 wat amp that just doesn't make sense.... I've tried bridging the amp and I have tried to lower Ohms on the sub... but no matter what I do is still seems to barely push the sub. This has been with the sub hooked up in 2 separate vehicles and it still react the same way. Any suggestions on how get more out of the amp or to just get a combination to work together correctly? Thanx

I have a 1200 watt skar amp and a dual 4 ohm 12" skarr sub should I do the parallel?

Thanks JP rewiring my 10" had it almost right have a 1 ohm amp wired as a 2 or in series I think but the amazing drawing really helped you missed your calling in life should be an artist lol but really this did help me a lot thanks JP

So my amp it’s rated for 0.5 ohm stable and I own a NSV5 15 D1 I should run it series than? I’m sorry I’m pretty new to this thanks a lot

If you connected the 2 subs outputs together then plugged them into a monoblock will that actually step down the impedance.

So if I have two subwoofers at 2 ohm each. I don't connect other side of the subwoofer. I just connect the two subwoofers together which will give me 1 ohm for both subwoofers? I would go 0.5 if my ORION HCCA HCCA3000.1DSPLX, Class D can handle it. I got the Skar ZVX v2 d2 12

SVC 2 OHM 12" Subwoofer. Wiring to a mono amp (1ohm capable). Any wiring suggestions other than +/+ and -/- ?

I want to get a kicker compr they have 2ohm and 4ohm and wasn't sure what to get? I also don't know what channel amp and what gauge wire to get any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Awesome vid man… very informative

So i have a 4ohm dvc sub, so should i wire it in parallel?

i have a kicker cvx 10 inch 2ohm 600 rms so what amp should i get?

Question: will adding a sub change the ohm load on a single chanel amp

What about wiring a 2ohm dvc sub to get a 2ohm load out of the amp?

Is it possible to wire a single voice coil sub and a dual voice sub together ?

I have 2 cadence 12s on a 2500.1 crunch amp it gets down good in a 85 caprice waiting to put my highs amp in this weekend

I have a 4ohm dual voice coil speaker I usually connect in parallel and bridge it to 2 channels. My question is can you connect each voice coil separately bridged to 2 channel. Equaling a 4 channel amp connected to 1 dvc

Im running my sub off a bridged 3rd and 4th channel so I wired my d2 sd3 to 4 ohm. This is a temporary measure for my more sq based system until I get a mono amp as the 300rms I am getting from the bridged channels is still ok for my current system goals.

If I have 2 subs but want them both to be at 2 ohms (subs both are at 4 ohms each) and I have an Amp that has 2 channels do I do the parelle wiring for each sub? Connecting each sub to each channel? Or do I bridge? I'm just learning this so bare with me

we have a single sub dual 2 ohms..and 2 ohms amp...but we used 1 set of terminals only to match the amp.which is 2 ohms amp.is that ok for the sub?

I have seen DVC subs wired with each coil directly to a dual outlet mono amp can you explain what ohms you end up with

So how would you wire four dual voice coil 4-ohm subs to get to 1 ohm? On a mono amp?

5:44 what if I have two dual 2 ohm subs separately wired like 1 ohm but hook into the same one terminal on the amp will it recognize it ass 1 ohm still but with twice the wattage draw.

Think of a dual voice coil driver as effectively two separate drivers so + then - then + then - Doubles one coils resistance. Or + to + / - to - Half's one coils resistance.If you used two drivers with different resistances which could be done you should Add the two then multiply the two then devide the two totals.Happy Building

I have 4 12 inch American bass d4 but have 2 one ohm amps so I need too know how to wire 2 d4 subs to 1 ohm per amp please asap

So, if i have an amp 1200watts at 1omh and a sub speaker 600watts 2omh dual coil and run it in series will the amp send 600watts instead of the full 1200 watts that is rate it at full power

I seem to have found a dilemma in how to approach wiring what I've got on hand. (2) DVC 4 ohm subs and a 4 channel amp. To get the power required to drive the subs properly, I would have to bridge the channels but the amp is limited to 4 ohm in bridged mode. There doesn't seem to be any way to wire them up as just 4 ohm? This problem will be slightly solved by the new 5 channel amp I ordered but again run into a problem where I won't be able to get a 2 ohm load from the (2) 4 ohm DVC subs. This is poor matching choices by me of course but was wondering if you can see any way to wire this how I need them to be? The amp I ordered is rated at 500w x1 @ 2 ohm on the sub channel (dyno tested) which matches my power on the subs. At 4 ohm, the sub channel only does 300w which is only 150w to each sub. That's not a lot.... Any suggestions other than buy different hardware? Note: my subs are separated in truck boxes. Not ideal, I know.

HAY Mr Price I’m considering using a duel 4 OHM coil 10in Alpine R sub. 600 watt RMS mated to two mono block Alpine MRP 500 amps. I’m considering the 300 rms x two for the 600 I need but Im wanting cool runnin amps as well. Is it safe to wire one amp to one coil pos-pos and neg -neg and second amp pos-pos and neg-neg to the other coil not crossing any connections ?????????? Not really wanting more thump then that due to the rear hatch being above the sub box in a C4. And the box will be just a foot away from the back of the seat and head. This sub is larger than my older earthquake sub from 2009/10 model year and that one pounded well enough for me. I just hope this isn’t over kill at this point. Whaa u think??????? Sir

Hello, i have a dual 4ohm and my amp cannot handle the 2ohm load on bridge channel, my only option is serie 8ohm load, my question can i wiring only on one coil for 4ohm load or my sub will not be happy?

What's the best dual 1 or dual 2?

Thanks for doing this video!!

I have a single coil sub and a dual voicecoil powered house amp. So how would I hook up my dual voicecoil powered amp to my single coil sub???

I have 2 dvc (4 ohm) subs that I'll b using in a home theatre but my amp is only stable at 8 ohm bridged, can I just use 1 coil from each sub? Technically this would make it 8ohms at the amp. I really don't want to buy another amp nor subs.

I already have a JL audio jx500/1d 500rms@2ohm and 300rms@4ohm. Should I buy the Kicker Comp RT DVC4ohm or Kicker Comp RT DVC2ohm? Will I hear huge difference running the same subwoofer @500rms2ohm vs @300rms4ohm?

Sky Kam I’m no expert and neither is my brother, but he says 100 watts difference like say from 100 to 200 isn’t that noticeable... but that’s just my 2 cents. Personally I’m going to install a 5 channel amp (maybe kxa800.5) with 4 infinity kappa 682.11 cf speakers and maybe the Kicker CompRT CWRT101 (43CWRT101) shallow subwoofer. It’s all going in my F-150 2006. I think it’s going to sound good.

Multiple subs in Parallel or series?

question. I just bought 2 subs that are rated DVC 2 ohm. But'.. I had two other subwoofers rated at 4 ohms DVC.... now I know that the sub with DVC 2 ohm can be wired as a total of 4 ohms sub. and the other DVC 4 ohm can run at either 2 ohms or 8 ohms. my question is. can I use a 2 ohm DVC wired in series which is a total of 4 ohms. plus a DVC 4 ohm wired in parallel which =2 ohms.. I know you can use a combination of parallel and series to end with a total of 6 ohms. with those specific subs. I don't know if I'm correct or not. the question is? is it safe? thanks a bunch

How would you wire a jl audio 13.5 w7 to a single 1000w amp

I mean can use the single connection instead of two in the dual voice coil?

How do you keep a single 4 ohms sub wired as a 4ohm sub??? Not trying to lower or heighten the sub ohms.

Ok so I just installed a skar SDR-12 I believe and it was a dual voice coil setup first time ever trying this, sadly I didn’t see this video prior to install but I’m wired exactly like diag. #1 but I’m not sure what ohm level this sub is for but I believe this is a 1200w rated sub I’m running it on a 500w JL amp with it and the sound quality seems to be great and hits extremely hard when turned up, just curious if anyone running a similar setup and is wired differently 👍

Good work brother

Can a single DVC 2 ohm sub be wired under 1 ohm?

Abher Lowkz sure, your be @2 ohms at the amp. If your amp can power the sub at 2 ohms your be fine. If your amp is rated for 1 ohm your get about half its rated power. Safe no matter what tho.

great video..

Great job on explaining the difference in each set up JP!!! You are right It does get a little difficult as you add multiple sub's because you have to watch your impedence if not you can easily burn your amp!!! I learned that the hard way when i first got into car audio!!! 👍👍👍
