way too much stuff to read.........if u wanna do a 2 ohm load on a mono amp u can use any subs that are 4 ohms and u wire em in paralell and its a 2 ohm load.
caraudiosuperstar @ 2009-03-31 10:17:32

Neither. For a 2-ohm load, you need either SVC 4-ohm subs or DVC dual 2-ohm subs. Wire the SVC in parallel; or for DVC you need to wire each sub in series then wire them together in parallel. Those are basically the same subs, just different boxes. Get a pair of 12" L5 dual 2-ohm coils. Then build a box, or have one built.
chris_harper1970 @ 2009-03-31 10:27:33

When you wire something in parallel it cuts the ohms in half. With that being said, it depends on how many of these woofers you want to use and if they are dual voice coil or even quad coil.



1- DVC 4 ohm sub wired parallel will= 2ohm load to amp



2- single voice coil 4 ohm subs wired parallel will= 2 ohm load to amp



Here is a very helpful explanation site.

"caraudiosuperstar" got it partly right.

If the subs are 4ohm SVC then yes you can wire them in parallel for a 2ohm load.

But those L5 subs are DVC,so in order to get a 2ohm load on a mono amp you will need the 2ohm version wired in series/parallel like this.

Use option 2

Thats great
BretP @ 2009-03-31 11:50:07

Yeah because the 1000 watt amp should push it....

pimp my car stereo...?
[Question]
i've got a small hatchback, and wanted to improve my car stereo by buying some extra kit for it. i have nooooooooo idea abou it at all though (i dont even know the difference between a sub and an amp!!?), but want to spend between £100 and 150 for the time being. what do i need to get and what could i aim at getting in the future? is it something i can fit myself with some instruction? i'm quite able, and technically minded, but suck when it comes to soundsystems!!

thanks

An extra battery or two hooked up in "series" will give you that extra umph you need.

can i use 2 identical amps to power 1 dual coil sub?
[Question]
i have a dual coil sub & 2 identical 500 watt amps. the sub is 1000 watt rms. can i use 1 amp per coil. the ohms all match.
Steven C @ 2009-03-31 10:33:03

[All Answers]
no. That is a bad idea. They would fight and overheat the coil most likely.
Doug W @ 2009-03-31 10:39:50

yes u can...........DOUG.......doesnt know what he is talkin about, the gains, and settings on the amps need to be absolutely identical........
caraudiosuperstar @ 2009-03-31 10:43:31

YES YOU CAN!

You must match the amps perfectly- down to the millivolt.



use a multimeter to read the volts coming out of the amp's speaker wires.



Turn the gain knob until you reach the same voltage output on both amps.



Use a bass cd so you can play one specific note to your amps.

(repeat a 35hz note or something)



most people match their amps at a very low volume level. Remember, i said "millivolts" not "volts". If the amps are matched down to just a 1 volt variance then you WILL blow your sub very quickly.



When you think you have them matched- Test the voltage at different volume levels once or twice to make sure they are the same or are very close. a couple millivolts difference is ok.

No sound coming from car radio, but the power is on..?
[Question]
The front right speaker is blown for sure.. its been so for a couple weeks.. just thought I'd mention that.



Anyway, after a couple seconds I cant hear the sound from my radio. But the power is still on.. I can see the CD still playing. When I remove the faceplate then put it back in, the sound starts playing then once again stops. Any idea what might be the cause?



I have a warranty on my speakers that I've had for about 2 years now, but I just want to know whats wrong first.. because I dont think one blown speaker should completely cut off all sound?? I dont abuse the speakers or anything either.. just wear and tear..



Its an aftermarket Kenwood CD/mp3 receiver.

sounds like a loose connection
gbradleyb @ 2009-03-31 12:16:12

I personally would replace the speakers anyway, that is what warranties are for, when something stops working and its not from abuse. As for the sound problem,

I'm no expert but its most likely from the radio. It could be as simple as a bad connection between wires. Or the radio could be dying and needs to be replaced. Also, don't rule out the car, my car had trouble a while back with its electrical system and the hint for me that my car was about to die was I'd lose the radio.

If you have a friend with a similar size radio, maybe you can try switching the two. If the radio still fails in your car then its the car or connection between the two, if its fine in your car then it was the radio.
