How to get the most outta this amp/sub setup
Tuesday, April 12, 2005 3:52 PM
ok so ive got this amp Clicky here for amp info


and this sub.

Click here for sub specs

And i was wondering what i can do to get the most power to the sub?

Would i run one plus from one channel and one neg from the other channel. to one side of the Sub. Then run each of them to the positives and negs on the other side of the sub?

So itd go
channel 1 + to Voice coil 1 + to Voice coil 2 +
channel 2 - to Voice coil 1 - to Voice coil 2 -

is that the correct way of getting the 800 watts outta the amp. and the most power to the sub?

the way i understand is that amp can handle the 1 ohm so wire it like that, . use the positive from the left channel and the negative from the right

Specs say 2ohm max, so you'll need to wire this for 4ohms.

Bridge the amp.
AMP- to VC1-
VC1+ to VC2-
VC2+ to AMP+

Yes, but make sure you hook it up in bridged mode.

Left Channel + Right Channel -
