2ohm Dual Voicecoil Wiring

[R33 pearl orange]

Hi guys

Was wondering if it is posiable to hook up a 2ohm dual voicecoil 10" sub to a 2ch amp

mainly can i connect left ch to voicecoil 1 and right ch to voicecoil 2

there is a dodgy drawing below to show what i mean

thx all in advance

Yes if the AMP can handle two ohm loads in stereo mode

and you will need some sort of crossover set to about 80hz , depending on the rest of the setup and box type.

you didnt' mention the type of amp or power of sub or amp so don't blame me if you put a 10000 watt amp on a 10 watt sub in free air setup..hahahah

hehe thx i know about all that but thers no wiring diagrams for this set up

the system is amp 2ch pioneer GM-X802 into a small QMAX ported 10" box with a precision 2ohm dualvoice 10"sub 250w cont

the back of the amp reads - continuous power 150w x 2/4ohm or 420wx1/4ohm then below it says load imp 2-8ohm

hey Ash

the pioneer is rates at 150W x 2ch @14.4V 2Ohm 0.4% THD

so the amp will take the 2Ohm could but 300W amp and 250W Sub ,, hhmmm

although given you get exactly the same power in bridged mode (300W x 1 @ 14.4V 4Ohm 0.4%THD)

and less potential issues, I'd bridge the apm and wire the sub coils in series

my 2 cents

Here is a good link to sub/amp wiring. Have a browse through it.

I agree with Ash, run it in series then bridge the amp, the speaker will handle the amp if crossover is right for the box specs and not distorted or bass boosted to the max,

the pioneer is closer to 80watts at 4 ohms in stereo at 12volts hence the model number 80watts x2channels =802

bridged it should be about 300ish at 12-13.8volts , 14.4 volts is a pipe dream for most cars.

aim the speaker towards the back of the car or opposite corner to load it up the best.

this is a diagram of how to wire the sub at 1ohm or 4ohm configuration ..

i would wire the sub in 4ohm configuration then bridge the 2 channels together so you dont overload the amp and it will run the sub , tune it from no gain on the amp with the headunit to full listening vol then adjust your amp power till the sub distorts then turn it back till its smooth , set the lowpass filter on the amp firstly b4 you do anything , if the amp has an adjustable LP frequency set that to about 80 or a little less pending your tastes and go from there .......

hope that helps
