Got me off in my feelings and this is a damn car audio vid! Lol! My bad yall! Lol!

Amen! Thank you Sundown for this video. It is amazing how I get an amplifier in, repair it, send it back out just to get an email saying "It only lasted 10 seconds". I ask what's your connected load... you know how this story goes. I deal with this issue every single day. I will point people to this video!

Newbies need to do some research before installing for the first time. Great demonstration

Rookies and Keyboard Commandos should save this video.

Thanks pal, checked my subs, one is at 2.1ohms, the other is at 1.9 (the base resistance of the probes is 0.1 so well within tolerance. Checked the positive and negative input on the amp, 2.4ohms. Perfectly explained and understood, cheers.

That is awesome that you showed how sensitive the voice coils are most people don't understand that when you're checking then and they're talking around you that vibration from their voice or yours can also make it jump just enough to make your multimeter not read right

I was always curious on how those worked luckily my monoblock amp has 1 positive and 1 negative but now I know thank you Derek!!

Great video!! I always use my fluke meter just to double check all my wiring.

Thank you for making this video. I've met a lot of hard headed people in my life time that never listened.

These videos make community 100 times better.

This man explains it plain easy to understand terms I had soany questions about car audio and he answered the. All in just a few of his videos

Good explanation. I'm not an installer, but I've done a few systems for people and the amount of people who rig their stuff up, or use lamp cord, or run a power thru the door jamb is crazy I've seen nightmare wiring hit hard as hell and I've even told them.. your playing with fire

Great explanation, wish i had this video years ago when i first started, could we get some dyno videos of the sia series amps? Specifically the 1750 and 1250

You did great explaining a one channel amp perfect..

I wired my d2's to 1 ohm each and used all 4 outputs on my sfb, I figured it would see the 2 ohm load. Now I hear it's actually at .5? Thanks for saving me on that one. I knew it was one channel, glad I didn't rock it at full tilt yet.

Scary world i had some1 tell me were i should set my lpf on my 80 prs for my 15 yr old full range amplifier im old school tho and love voltage and audio! Id like to know more about time alignment and how to correctly use a 80 prs head unit.Good job guys yall handle it good.

I remember a guy arguing with me on youtube in like 2007 - 2008, and he called me an idiot because I didn’t “bridge” my “monoblock” amp correctly in a testing video I had up (only had speaker wire connected to one set of terminals for my testing). I couldn’t help but laugh, as I repaired amplifiers and knew exactly what I was doing. I tried to explain that it was a single channel mono amp and the terminals were wired parallel internally for convenience, and it didn’t matter which set I used, and it was not a 2 channel so you can't bridge it, but I don’t think he could comprehend it was not 2 channels, and in his mind I was the idiot for not bridging it right; some people swear they know everything and you simply can’t educate them. I think I got this a few times over the years.

Thanks for the informative video Derek! If you happen to see my comment would you please let me know which model of the ExTech DMM you are using?? I'm going to buy myself a new meter. Btw I'm glad you said what you did about the craftsman meter, I had been looking at them but not now.

I’d like to know about mono amps that have 2 RCA inputs. Can we just use on of them?

It would be nice if you showed how to wire it using 2 speakers both being dual 4 ohm speakers, I think they would each need to be wired to 2ohm each right then when there hooked to to mono amp it would equal 1 ohm total

Thank you for the video. On a monoblock amplifier with multiple channels, is it a correct assumption that each subwoofer is playing the exact same signal "performing identically" (in theory) to the other subs since there is only one channel? Are all bass frequency amplifiers "Mono" amps?

I bought the sdx 1200.1 , what size speaker wire do you suggest? It’s about. 8’ run and is pushing a xxx12 from wetsounds. My boat already had 12 gauge ran to a free air sub. Also, I had a 1’ run on the amp and went with 4 gauge wire from the perko switch. Do I need to go bigger?

Best way to wire 2- dual 4ohms 10" cvx. 2ohms or 8ohms/ parallel or series on a Sundown SIA 2500d amp?

I have a taramp 1200.1 and it only has one screw in for output (as in one positive and one negative) I keep coming out at .5 with 2 12s in a box please tell me what I'm doing wrong I got both side of the dual voice coil speakers wire together then speaker wire running straight to amp

Smdh just like when I had to tell someone who’s kinda getting big now that gain matching isn’t just matching the gain nobs on the amps lol there are some special ppl in the world ! Great video! This is ganna get saved in the audio help file! Now I can just send them this instead of explaining it ! I literally argued with someone a couple weeks ago that was trying to tell me that your in advanced one with project spl lol they didn’t believe me.... sent them your build playlist lol 😂

the resistance on the leads on the multimeter is high. recommendations would be to use a higher quality multimeter.

amazing how something is so simple that some cant comprehend

Thank you so much.

I have a loc wired connected to a bass processor by rca. I have 2 mono amps with only one set of rca each I want to connect the processor to. How do I do that with rca

What would everyone suggest I look at if my subwoofer starts humming as soon as I plug the rcas into the amplifier. Kicker comp vr 15” with Jensen 1200 watt mono amplifier? Thanks in advance. I can’t figure this out for the life of me

I have 2 nemesis audio amps 6k monoblock can they be strapped together even tho they don't have the audio outputs just 2 inputs and I was wondering if you could strapped them together please help!!!!

1 question : I have SUbwoofer DVC 4 ohm, can I Connect to 2 Channel Amp ? 1 Coil to Channel 1 and 1 coil to channel 2 ?

I’m just wondering if it would lower or raise impedance internally

So are there any advantages to having a monoblock amplifier, or is it better to have a two-channel amplifier bridged into 1?

Great job Derrick

2 questions. 1) is the 1200.1 sufficient to run a SA v2 10"? 2) i have (8) 6.5" component speakers that handle 100W RMS and (4) 8" tower component speakers that handle 150W RMS. What amp do you recommend for these?

so does 2 8 ohm loads to a mono dual output amp give you 4 ohms?

how do I know if its 2 omh amp. I have 3 jl infinite baffle 2 omh 12's for my boat and need to know what amp iam gonna need to have to run all 3 at 2 omh.

if I wire two subs to it will it split the power between two subs or will it send all power to both subs?

So how do wire 2 4 ohm dvc subs the correct way to a mono block amps C

When are you doing another build?

Can i wire a sub and speakers on the mono?

I looked for a really long time to find this explanation.

So can you still run 2 subs on a mono amp?

So since the amp is wired parallel internally. You could connect your dvc 2ohm subwoofer voice coils in series inside the boxes ( 2 voice coils on 1 sub tied to gather in series) run the + and - to the boxes terminal cups and take each speaker box cup and wire it to the 2 separate terminals on the amp that are hooked up in parallel internally. Makes a 2 ohm load correct? 2 ohm dvc subs VC hooked in series on each sub and then tied then hooked to the amplifier in separate connectors where they then are parallel??? Using both terminals on the amp but pulling just 2 ohms 🤷🏻‍♂️. In all the diagrams the hook on speaker to another and then pull from one terminal on the amp. But should be same to hook each sub to the amp by itself since the terminals are hooked in parallel inside the amp 🤷🏻‍♂️.

A quick looksie in the good old manual would tell you that. Manufacturers put those papers in there for a good reason. When in doubt do what the Manufacturer says they've spent alot of time and money to find the best way to use their products. Unless it's an alpine subwoofer then ignore anything they say

Why is there a red and white input? On the RCA side?

So you can you do 2 subs on a mono amp?

Doesn't some left channel signal blend with right channel signal and viceversa?

My amp wiring kit says for 2 Chanel the amp is a class d both 1200 watt max

That is my favorite amplifier mono one channel amplifier..

Hey I need your help, I've been trying to get my amp fixed and filled out the form to send it to you guys but I never received a email from you guys and now the lady that answers the phones won't answer or call back for some reason PLEASE HELP...

Its funny you make this video... Me and ur techs was telling storys the other day about this...

Thanks for explaining this

If people would just read the instructions and not be ashamed to ask questions it would make life a lot easier for everyone

Excellent explanation, My question is if my amplifier is mono block and only has 1RCA input will it hurt it to run the right and left from my stereo into a single input to the amplifier

If it's an sfb/sia amplifier then the output rca doubles as an input as well. This is covered in the owner's manual.

@yootoo567

If you mean by putting left & right RCA into a Y adapter, then Yes it will hurt, only need one RCA to go into the amp

I have an even dumber question I guess. My headunit only has one subwoofer out. How do I hook he rcas? Do I use a y splitter or just connect one of the rcas?

Older amps like audiobahn i remeber it had a 1plus and 1neg but now you see them diff

So the tester adjusts it? And what are ohms? So confused rn tired of blowing these things up

Maybe a video that might help would be how to wire multiple subs to one ohm... or running parallel and series... great job explaining for people that may not be sure or don't know!

Is the $150 challenge going on this year?

I totally respect everything your saying, however I have a set-up that consists of 1 6k Sundown mono block amp, 2 v3 x12s (D2) wired to .5 ohm. I also have big 3 wiring, 370 mechman alt, and a limitless cyber 12k for over a year now.

That’s good information man

i learned this in middle school

Back to the basics!…..I get a shit eating grin every time I see people,and there 1 star reviews on Amazon how they blew there amp or subs up.

Can only imagine the frustration, just to have to make this video...

Do a video how wire a 1ohm speakers v1 to a 1 ohm in a amp I know but so everyone knows

Maybe label the outputs on the amp as channel 1 like you do with the ones with multiple outputs. People will still get it wrong but at least it’s there lol

I need your reply I’ve waited days plesse respond nothing yet I have two duel 2 e 15 subs I have the 1000 d amp wired to 1ohm would be louder to add a second amp To each sub because I’m pretty sure one amp doing two subs is given less power

There's always a story behind every "stupid" warning sign/label. Maybe printing on the amp telling the user that the outputs are bridged might save some RMA headache in the future?

Great educational video for noobs

If you don't understand this you shouldn't be installing any amplifier yourself

It’s so sad videos like these have to be put out

I can't believe ppl actually think there's 2 channels 🤦‍♂️I hope manufacturers don't start only putting 1 set to squash confusion cuz I like the 2 outputs. Insane someone can understand ohms law but not understand they're not 2 channels 🤷‍♂️

Just last week... Had the same discussion.. after 5min I gave up explaining to the guy. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Rather hear BASS than BS 😂 DLS used to make their amps pretty asshole-proof. On my 12 year old CAD15 it says at the (double) speakerterminal: MIN. 2 OHM EACH!! Problem solved 👍🏻

Good god..it's so easy to just ask before blowing shit up..I'd rather look like newbee than a moron for not asking.

Lol they think nomatter how they wire it it's always 1 ohm 😂 that is sad.

@Rolling Thunder 420 are the bass remotes for SIA and SFB amps different? I would compare the two myself and see but I only have a SFB5000 amp. I do not have a SIA amp to where I can compare or see if the plugs are in any way different, or to check and see if either remote has a different amount of wires. You've had both series amps, therefore I'm assuming you are able to do a detailed evaluation of each remote to see whether the remotes, wires or plug-ins are in form, fashion or way different from one another...
