wiring dvc sub in a toby sherrif box

Bought one empty in great shape for 30. It had a speaker (DVC) in it but it sounded like doodie. I can't remember if the single dvc Speaker that Toby had in the sherrif boxes was wired similar to the ranger boxes that used 2 SVC. I remember the ranger box worked on a push pull system. One of the subs was wired reverse and those toby boxes rocked. Now I'm thinking the sherrif works the same, the guy I bought the box from wired the sub wrong is why I thought I sounded like doodie.

Any help from someone? I'd love to know as I'm about to put this in and wanted to know before hand if anyone remembers the Toby boxes and how they were wired.

what on earth are you talking about man? toby box? can you post a picture, im sure i can help you out with the wiring but i need to know what you are working with.

Toby inc is a small local independent that was known for his car subs & enclosures that required less then 100 watts. There are a few variations, the ranger box is a dual 10 inch sub that is in a large box the has 2 10 inch subs. One is facing up the other is facing down. The woofers are wired differently then a normal dual sub set up, both of these are SVC. Since they are inverted next to each other ( not on top of each other) one is the downward facing sub pushes and the upwards sub pulls. They work together to give more bass. Well the box I bought is a DVC single 10 inch box that is mounted facing down into a box. Here's a few pics so u get an idea of what I'm talking about. Since its a single DVC sub I wasn't sure if it was suppose to be wired one normal the other backwards like the ranger box. If u still don't understand ask a Local installer u know see if they know what Toby subs are and do.

Forgot the pics


This is the outside, and here's the inside.



I've googled info several different ways. Only hits im getting doesn't talk about wiring.

This box with the sub wired right can out perform some sets of 12 inch speakers.

Website to Toby with specs on boxes so u see what I'm talking about and not laugh saying " Yea right a single 10 out performing 2 12 inch speakers "I've heard and owned a few of these boxes. Know what they can do.

Nobody????

It was 1985 when I first heard the name, and I have not heard it since then. The guy that told me about it came from a Shop in Lake Charles, and had worked somewhere in Texas prior to that.

All I can tell you is that if you are using a Push Pull configuration, you do need to wire the woofers out of phase. Voice Coils of each woofer wired in phase with the other coil on that woofer, but woofer 1 wired out of phase from woofer 2.

if you are working with a single DVC sub woofer then you cant wire them out of phase, just wire it like it was two normal subs. you can pull up the sub woofer wiring calculator on this site and it will get you to the right final ohm load for your amp.

Well I'm local, not sure how to wire subs in or out ta phase. If I saw a configuration It wouldn't be a problem. Only thing stopping me from just trying different wiring till it sounds better is the thought of dropping my sub amp. I'll be wizzed if I blow a channel. I'm using a Sony d class amp, which has dual speaker outs. I'll check the sub config on here, I just know I would feel better before trying different doodie.

Checked the sub wiring on here, only shows series and parallel. Nothing mentioned on phasing in and out.

every wiring option given will be "in phase". if you can confirm your amps lowest stable ohm load and the ohm rating for each coil of your sub woofer, then we can help you get as close as possible to the maximum ohm load supported by your amp without overloading it. it will be one of two options, either you will series the coils, one positive from one coil and one negative from the other coil with a jumper in between from the remaining positive and negative, or parallel wiring which is basically wiring each positive and negative together. series wiring will raise the total ohm load and parallel wiring will drop the ohm load, depending on the lowest supported ohm load of your amp, one will be a better choice than the other.

I'm good with 2 ohm load on a 4 ohm speaker, meaning that I'd prefer my amp to be at a 2 ohm load. My weak point in car audio is ohm loads and crap. The rest I've got down, so using both r/l channels I'll run it normally to the box but once there can try the series and parallel. I just don't want to screw the amp up.

On one of the woofers, connect the positive wire to the negative terminal, and connect the negative wire to the positive terminal. Do this to only one of the woofers.

ok lets get this straight, are you using one sub or two? because im under the impression that you are using only one sub and IAAI seems to thin you are using 2 subs. its important to get this part straight.
