How to wire 2 dvc subs to mono amp?

How do I wire my 2 JL W3v2 DVC subs (4 OHM) to my JC Power 1000.1D 2 channel amp?

  • Amp: 2 Channel, JC Power 1000.1D (I think its 1000Watt peak at 1 ohm, not sure at all though) Subs: 2 12'' JL Audio W3v2, 4-Ohm DVC (3oo watt rms) So, what I am asking is ...show more

  • Answer:

    Ok I can't find any information on this amp. Who makes it? Is JC initials for the actual name? I need to know more about the amp to ensure that I give accurate information. The first answerer seems to be assuming things. I also can't find the subs... http://www.termpro.com/articles/spkrz.html there's info about speaker wiring and math equations to support when I say, wiring in Parallel will give 2 ohms not 1. I doubt your amp is 1ohm stable. Parallel means both speakers connect to the same amp terminals. So both speaker positives twist together and go under the bridged positive of the amp. Same for negatives. Make sure both wires are the same physical length. This is of course assuming you can bridge to a single channel. Since they are single coil speakers, I don't see a practical way to lower the impedance of the individual speakers without bridging and running in parallel. At 4 ohms you would cut your power significantly. You need to confirm the specs on both items or give us a better model number that ban be researched.

wirring parralel 1 ohms easy. wire positive to positive negative to negative on the inside of the box (on each speaker ). now bridge the amplifier and run positive-pos and negative-neg to one side of the box. then run positive- positive negative-negative to the other side. do this exacltly like i just said or you could burn the amp. if you have questions or need a diagram feel free to email me floydb2nd@sbcglobal.net. this will only work for 2 4ohm dvc subs. adding more speakers or trying a different way may burn your equipment. please do not try if you do not fully understand.
