how should i wire these subs?

Hi!

I own a monoblock with 2 speaker outputs. I have 2 subwoofers but they are different, one is a Vibe SVC 4 ohm and the other is a Pioneer 4 ohm DVC. How should I wire them up to get the lowest impedance as my amp is 1 ohm stable.

I have already joined the two voice coils on the pioneer in parrallel so its now 2 ohm. Should I now wire it to one of my speaker outputs the the vibe to the other speaker output?

Or should I join the 2 subs in parrallel then wire them to one speaker output?

Thanks.

The connections to the terminals are in parallel inside the amp anyway. You can use both sets... Put the 4-ohm woofer on one, and the 2-ohm woofer on the other. The 2-ohm woofer (parallel wired 4-ohm voice coils) is going to demand twice the power of the 4-ohm woofer. The total impedance will be perfectly safe for the amplifier, but the 2-ohm woofer will likely be louder. I can only tell you that there is NO way to get an optimal connection for the two woofers you have. It won't ever happen. Even if you only use one voice coil on the DVC woofer, (which, YES, you can do...) it'll still be nowhere NEAR optimal with different woofers. Ever. Get two matching woofers.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

i see that alot on another forum, im guessing that means thanks? lol id stick with the dvc sub an leave the other for a back up1000 watts of lp, now need sum hp an mids

does the amp an subs rms rating coinside at all? its not a 1200 rms amp an 250 rms sub is it? oh yeah an "cheers" back at ya lol 1000 watts of lp, now need sum hp an mids

Yeah cheers = thanks.

The 4 ohm DVC sub is 750W rms and 2000W max Pioneer.

The 4 ohm SVC sub is 550W rms and 1600W max Vibe.

The amp is a fusion amp with 850W at 2 ohm and I think it was either 1200W or 1400W at 1 ohm.

those are sum gd numbers there, id say you got enuff to work both subs an not really tell the diff between the 2, at least not a negative diffrence1000 watts of lp, now need sum hp an mids

Thanks Sthrnbmpn

so itll be a 3 ohm load on your amp, not including box rise, so at 2ohms your 850 then 3ohms would be 625 watts1000 watts of lp, now need sum hp an mids

Hmm...Why 3 ohm?

I wired the voice coils on the pioneer in parrallel so that should be 2 ohms, the other sub is 4 ohms.

1/4 + 1/2 = 0.75.

1/0.75 = 1.33ohms!

Where did you get 3 from?
