Subs and Amp for a car?

I need Help with My car audio Setup .. 3 subs 1 amp . I need to wire them correctly?

• Alright well I have a 4 ohm Kicker CVR and TWO 2 ohm Kicker CVX's in a huge box that looks like a volcano for three 12 inch subs. Now I have a Hifonics brutus 2610 and I want to wire it all at 2 ohms. Is it ok to do this because one of the subs is 4 ohms, and I dont care about blowing that one cuz I have another one and when they r both gone I will replace it with another CVX. SO basically I want to wire 3 subs to 2 ohms but one is a four ohm sub how do I do this? and Im so confused because I bought a mono amp but isnt it supposed to have only 2 speaker inputs (1 neg, and 1 pos.) Because mines has 4 but its a mono amp.... Please look it up .. its a hifonics bxi2610 Class d monoblock amp (best place to look is sonicelectronix.com) PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION I REALY NEED TO KNOW!!!! Now how to I wire them all together at 2 ohms? and I dont want to over power the amp or anything .. can I put 3 speakers to this amp? ? I was looking at this diagram http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/3DVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg but the thing is one is a 4 ohm and this diagram is for three 2 ohm subs .. also In the diagram I only see one neg. and one pos. and it states its a mono block.. why does my mono block have 4 for these .. u must look at the pictures to see what im saying. PLEASE !!! I AM IN DESPERATE HELP AND I NEED TO PUT THESE IN MY CAR B 4 I LEAVE ON VACATION!!! PLEASE HELP AS CLEARLY AND AS BEST YOU CAN!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .. BEST ANSWER GETS EXTRA POINTS ...PLZ !!!!!!

• Answer:

  I'm pretty sure each sub is DVC (dual voice coil) as my research showed. First, your amp is going to literally POUND 2600 watts RMS at 1 ohm load! NICE! If you parallel wired the 3 subs you have, do it like this: (split the subwoofer wire you have so you create 2, separate, single wires and make sure it's THICK!). Take one wire from the positive (+) connection from the amp to the + connection of the 1st sub, continued it to the + connection to the 2nd sub and then to the + connection of the 3rd sub. And then take the other wire from the negative (-) connection from the amp to the - connection of the 1st sub, continued to the - connection to the 2nd sub and then to the - connection of the 3rd sub. This will leave each subwoofer with one (1) open - and + terminal connection. Now, each subwoofer will have a - and + connection on the opposite side of each other that has no wire connected. To the 1st sub: run a wire from the - connection on one side of the sub to the + connection on the other side of the same sub. Now do the same for the 2nd and 3rd sub. You can simply follow the 1st diagram on this page that shows a picture of exactly what I just explained: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=3&I=22 This will complete your parallel wiring configuration. NOTE: If the 3 DVC subs you were using were all 2ohm, them the amplifier would see a 1.34ohm load which would drive the amp to push out almost all it's power!!!!! But, because you have one, 4ohm DVC sub in the mix, it will actually bring the impedance (1.34ohm) up to about 1.78ohm, but will still force your amp to push out a lot of watts, around 1700 to maybe 2000 at it's highest depending on how good of a battery you're using and how much power your car's electrical system is using at any given time (headlights, AC, ect.) and the quality of your alternator. I'm pretty sure my OHM configuration in the above paragraph is correct (please correct me if I'm wrong). Thanks. And like stated above by the other person, you should actually set the gain control on the amp to 50% 1st with the volume on the deck to more than 50% to make sure the subs don't get overpowered and blow.
