how do i wire this sub
Sunday, March 29, 2009 7:02 PM
hey im new to the forum and i was wondering if anyone could answer my question based on what amp and sub i have.
i have this sub
http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Kicker-CVR12
and this amp
http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-XM-ZR1252-2-CHANNEL-CAR-AMPLIFIER-800W-XPLOD-AMP_W0QQitemZ290305860048QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item290305860048

i realize there are a few ways to wire this one sub because i have a two channel amp and a 4ohm dual coil sub, so what is the best way? thanks

Put a coil to each channel. That's about the only way, unless you run it 8 ohms mono.

2 ohms would be parallel, and you can't run that amp mono at 2 ohms. It'll AKSPLODES!!!!!!!

thats it just put + and - from each channel to each pin on the sub? seems simple enough.

Yup. Set your gains, hook up sub, enjoy your tunes.

Esploding amps is gooooood fun if you dont want them any more.



So is filling an Xplod subs cone with paint thinner and hooking it to a battery charger and lighting it on fire.......

Good times. But dont do that BTW.

Granted that isn't the best amp. It may just run at 2ohms, but you'll have to try it if you want to possibley throw that money away.

To many factors with music, rather then straight tones, are involved. Imp rise could be high enough at notes, where as on other notes it could be to low.

I wouldnt suggest it. My Pyramid even ran at 2 ohms. But it clipped the signal to hell and heated up in about 15 minutes enough to where I had to shut it off. So do what Lanman says.

Gain set properly, there shouldn't be a problem. I have ran a profile amp at 1ohm for a year or more and no problems in the past.

But again. I would go with what you feel is safe.
