how to wire my amp?
Monday, April 25, 2005 2:31 PM
i have 4 DVC 4 ohm subs. i want to get atleast 1500 watts to them at 4 ohms. now if i wire them in a parralel series it will bring a 2 ohm load. and if i wire them in series it will be a 4 ohm load correct?.

second question is this amp states that it is 1500 at 4 ohms. now i realise that is rms. which is what i am looking for actually. but is it possible to run the amp at 2 ohms bridges with a parralel series. or can that amp not handle that?

4ohm mono is all your gonna get. personally i would use a more effecient class D amp for your subs...

you can wire your subs up 2 ohm mono or 0.5 ohm mono
1ohm stereo, or 4 ohm stereo.

find an amp that does it's rated power at 2 ohms.

here's my suggestion...

without knowing what subs you have and the power ratings for them, can't recommend much.

the only amp to relly help you is a jl audio 1500 watt amp its 1500 and all the amp runs is 4ohm no matter what ohm u got the subs wired think like this it's like you pay
67 cents per watt price really shows a difference in car stero

Yeah...we kinda need to know what subs you have. But otherwise...


You can wire your 4ohm DVC subs to that amp in two channel mods. Wire them in series...1 sub per channel and you'll get a 2 ohm load....or 800 watts per sub (or so the ad states). The amp is 2 ohm stable in 2 chanel mods. Thats pretty much the only way to wires DVC 4 ohm subs to that amp.
