Can I connect two 4-ohm subs together?

Greg, Two DVC 4-ohm subs can only get wired together to form a one-ohm load, a 4-ohm load, or a 16-ohm load. You know you can turn the volume down on a sub, if the amp makes it too loud and out of balance with the rest of the music.

Can I run a 4-ohm subwoofer with a 5-channel AMP?

Aizak, For speakers, use the wiring diagrams for SVC 4-ohm subs, as almost all aftermarket speakers are single voice coil 4-ohm devices. Have a Alpine MRX v70 4 channel+mono power. Wanting to just run sub power connection using amp. Possible? Mike, You can use one channel of a 5-channel amp for your bass and leave the other four channels unused.

How to connect two subwoofers to one AMP?

For two of them, youd need to wire the subs together in series (positive terminal of one sub wired to the negative terminal of the other while the outer terminals connect to the amp) resulting in each sub getting up to 165 watts RMS.

What are the extra terminals on a subwoofer for?

The extra terminals give you more options for wiring the speaker. The impedance of a subwoofer coil is expressed in ohms. Impedance is the amount of electrical resistance, or load, a sub puts up against an amplifiers output. Subwoofer voice coils usually come in 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or 8-ohm impedances.

How do you wire a 4 ohm subwoofer?

They are 4 ohm dual voice coil subs, so wiring each VC in parallel and then each sub in parallel will present a 1 ohm load. wiring each VC in parallel and then each sub in series will be a 4 ohm load.

Is it possible to wire two 4-ohm subs into a 2-ohm load?

Is it possible to wire two 4-ohm DVC subs into a 2 ohm load? Ive heard both yes and no. Wouldnt it work if I just used one voice coil to wire it instead of two? I have a monoblock amp. (Hifonics ZRX1500.1D) no but you can get to 4 ohm.....not great...a little low on power at 4 ohm....or go to 1 ohm, just make sure you have plenty of ventilation.

How to wire a 4 ohm to a 16 ohm coil?

wiring each VC in parallel and then each sub in series will be a 4 ohm load. and then series and series again will be 16 ohm. You only need to use one coil on each sub, then run them in parallel and you will have a 2 ohm load.

How to wire subwoofers in parallel?

They are 4 ohm dual voice coil subs, so wiring each VC in parallel and then each sub in parallel will present a 1 ohm load. wiring each VC in parallel and then each sub in series will be a 4 ohm load. and then series and series again will be 16 ohm. You only need to use one coil on each sub, then run them in parallel and you will have a 2 ohm load.

What are the inputs of a subwoofer?

Such a subwoofer has line-level inputs (which are fed from the preamplifier), line-level outputs (which drive the power amp), and a volume control for the subwoofer level. The line-level output is filtered, removing low frequencies from the signal sent to the amplifiers driving the main loudspeakers.

How to hook up a subwoofer to a receiver?

If the subwoofer features spring clips in order to use speaker wire, then you can use the speaker output of the receiver to hook it all up. This process is the same as connecting a basic stereo speaker. Be sure to mind the channels.

What is the purpose of a subwoofer in a stereo system?

This serves several purposes. 1. It enables down-mixing of a 2 channel stereo signal into a mono signal that still contains all the original information that was in the stereo signal. This is useful if you have a stereo sub signal, but only one subwoofer.

What does dual input mean on a subwoofer?

Dual input allows the subwoofer an extra sensitivity adjustment. Normally, it would be enough to use a mono LFE subwoofer signal from its processor. If you have a processor with very low output so you can use a Y-splitter. By using both inputs with the same mono signal doubles the subwoofer sensitivity.
