Could you rephrase what kind of amp do you have? What kind subwoofers do you have and How many subs do you want to wire it to?

Thanks

Wire both positives of the sub to one side of the amp and both negatives off the sub to the other side of the amp. Just that easy.

I have used that amp with a different single 10" dual voice coil sub. It ran 2 ohm mono no problem. But correct me if Im wrong, isnt that sub dual 6 ohm voice coil, if so than you are just gonna run at 3 ohm mono which most amps made today can handle.

ive tried that and looks like the speaker is going to pop out and loud banging noise like that way the amp moves it more at lower volume but when you turn it up looks like speaker cant hold the power

Chicomax,

You are putting well over 500 watts rms into that sub.  I remember that amp it was well underatted but can't remember the output. 

It looks like everyone is pulling out their old equipment.  I will have to look for my old books next time I am at my parents.

I gotta quick question.

the 2200gtx amp specs are:
Key Features:

  • 200 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
  • 250 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
  • 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
  • stereo or bridged mono output
  • Tri-way capable (Tri-Way Crossover required)
  • requires 4-gauge power and ground leads — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
  • MOSFET power and output stages
  • preamp- and speaker-level inputs
  • preamp outputs
  • gold-plated connectors
  • variable low-pass crossover (50-300 Hz, 12 dB/octave)
  • variable bass boost (0-10 dB at 40 Hz)
  • 15-3/4"W x 2-3/16"H x 10-7/8"D
  • warranty: 1 year

Just out of curiousity. If you wanted to wire the amp to TWO DVC's Subs
and bridge it MONO output . It should hit 500 Watts RMS x 1 @ 4ohms right?

If so would it be wired up as option 2 correct? Just wanted to know if i was looking at this perspective correctly.

Is it possible to run that 2200gtx under option 1?

What the hell is this used for?
Can anyone explain what this this little module does?posted_image

If my researching is correct:

*" The PAC TM-100 Tri-Way crossover allows you to power a pair of stereo speakers and a subwoofer simultaneously from a Tri-Way compatible 2-channel amp. It's a cost-effective way to drive a subwoofer.

The TM-100 has input and output wires that you connect to your amp's speaker outputs and to the wires leading to your speakers. A 12 dB/octave low-pass filter sends frequencies below 100 Hz to your subwoofer. A 6 dB/octave high-pass filter sends frequencies above 100 Hz to your main speakers. Handles 250 watts RMS per channel. 4-3/4"W x 2-1/16"H x 3-13/16"D. 1-year warranty.

Important Note: A Tri-Mode or Tri-Way compatible amplifier is required."*

This module will allow a Tri-Way amp, To not only power subs but also speakers such as 6x9's.
Was wondering, by adding this tri crossover, will any power be lost from the subs, vis-versa?

Your amp puts out

2 X 150 @ 4ohm

2 X 300 @ 2 Ohm

and 1 X 600 @ 4Ohms

Well, if you tried wiring the way I said and it seemed to be too much power for the driver then the only other way to do it practically is to wire it in 6 ohm stereo, that is one voice coil to channel one and the second voice coil to channel two but I know that it should have worked fine the other way so I would guess there is some other little demon at work in your system.

ravendarat,dont know because it seemed that the speaker could not handle the power,so i hooked it from on negative to positive then power to other positve then ground to other ground

That is how you wire in 12 ohms and that should make that amp produce practically no power. I think I would get that whole deal checked out because it seems like there is something wrong there

Wire the amp like a regular stereo amp.  This should give you approximately 150 watts per voice coil.  In order to keep the coils in sync. get yourself a RCA splitter and split the signal from the right/left channel of the pre-amp/radio RCA's to the amplifier.  If you don't want to do this you can always wire your sub down to 3ohms and run it off of the left/right side of the amp.
