hooking up dvc subs

hello.

i have 2 fusion powerplant 15" subwoofers and a fusion fp1402 amplifier

these subs accept 4 ohms per each coil, so in total there will be 4 coils correct?

now how do i hook up the subwoofer so it will have the correct impedence and squeeze the most power out of the amp

4 ohm bridged seems to output the most power but how do i hook up 4 ohm bridged to these subwoofers at 4 ohms per coil loading?

if anyone can help it would be much appreciated, thanks.

wire each set of coils in seiries. that will give you two 8 ohm woofers. then wire the two woofers in parallel with eachother. that will reduce the over all load to 4 ohms. if you dont understand this just ask and im sure one of us will be able to dig up a picture and more details. im just in a hurry and hoping to give you an idea of what to do.

AMP +    -----------SUB 1---------------SUB 2                            - terminal to + terminal

AMP -     -----------SUB 1---------------SUB 2                            + terminal to - terminal

is this right? this is what ive pictured in my head anyway.

Your amp will output 200 watts per channel at 2 ohms.  Bridging the subs to the amp at a 4 ohm load is the equivalent of a 2 ohm load on the amp.  You can connect in either of two ways...first as shown in this diagram.

As shown, the coils are wired in series.  The two subs are parallel-wired, and the + and - symbols at the left side show connection to the bridged terminals on the amp.

The second way you could use is to connect one sub to each of the amp's channels.  However, the voice coils would be wired in parallel for this, not in series.

ok looks like im thinking correctly :)

the amplifier is 2 ohm stable, so wiring it the way that diagram is, wont be an issue? and it will be getting the maximum amount of wattage possible out of the amplifier? or is there another way to squeeze more power out of it. voltage at the power wires is 14.1v when the car is turned on

at 4 ohms bridged it says 350wrmsx1 at 12.6v

so wouldnt it be 350wrms into each sub? or am i wrong?

No, that's total output.  It would be slightly higher while driving with the 14 volts from the alternator.

You can power the subs at any wattage up to their RMS.  The subs will still perform at the 175-185 watts they each will get, but you won't be turning heads from a block away until you get a bigger amp.  But they should still be pretty loud if you build a good enclosure for them.
