Whats the best amp for my subs?

Whats best way to wire my amp to my subs?

  • I got (2) DVC 10" subs 4ohm, (subs are rated at 750w rms)....Also my amp is a quantum 1100w mono that rated at a 2 ohm load (im pretty sure on that, i bought the amp used from a friend).. Can u tell me the best way to wire this up thx

  • Answer:

    If your total system power is 1000 watts RMS or more, you will need to: 1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator 2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery 3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire. Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail. Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php... A second battery is never a good idea as it's an added strain on the alternator to charge two batteries AND supply power for the car. The ONLY time a second battery is useful is if the audio system is to be used with the car off. A cap is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. A cap doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing esle. If the current isn't there, a cap won't help. The alternator must have at least 20% more amperage power than the entire vehicle and sound system combined for a cap to be of benefit which is ironically the same requirements for an amp to be efficient.

Connecting the two voice coils of the driver in parallel (+ to +, - to -) will result in the following impedances: Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofer: 3 Ohms Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 2 Ohms Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 1 Ohms Dual-1.5 Ohm Subwoofer: 0.75 Ohm Connecting the two voice coils of the driver in series (+ to -) will result in the following impedances: Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofer: 12 Ohms Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 8 Ohms Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 4 Ohms Dual-1.5 Ohm Subwoofer: 3 Ohms

Two 4 ohm DVCs can be wired for 1 ohm or 4 ohm. Since your amp isn't 1 ohm stable, 4 ohm is your only choice. 4 ohm - http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL-SERIES.jpg More info here http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com _____________ Clovisclovis doesn't even have the right link with the info, which is mine...
