Thread: dual voice 4ohms x2??? please help!

are you wanting to run each sub off its own amp or both subs off one amp?
Not gonna happen with 1 sub 1 amp. you have to wire the subs together and to one amp to get a 4 ohm load. 4ohm DVC=2ohm or 8ohm load. two 4 ohm DVC=1ohm, 4ohm, or 16ohm. you want to wire them series/parallel but you will need 4x the needed wattage of each VC or double the wattage of the 2 vc's together. so if there 150w per vc you would need a 600w RMS amp. what model subs and amps?

Thats a goood idea!!!!! will it work lol??? makes sence i think!!


so take a -/+ from on side to one channle and the same for the other side to one amp

then the same for the other sub to the other amp?

i have a multimeter but how n ware would i do that??? sorry i understand what you mean! just not quite sure how

set it to measure ac voltage and connect to the speaker outputs. make sure the voltage reading is the same/close enough for each channel.
