4 ohm Dual voice coil sub
4 ohm Dual voice coil sub
The sub is a 4ohm dual voice coil, what is the correct way to wire it to the amp, amp will be bridged (Mono) running sub only. 4ohm
The sub has two terminal blocks + - and + -
I want the best deeep bass drop not outright chavvy volume,
Thanks guys
Hi Just acquired a 12" sub (thanks terry) and a 400watt amp (thanks Chris)
The sub is a 4ohm dual voice coil, what is the correct way to wire it to the amp, amp will be bridged (Mono) running sub only. 4ohm

Thanks guys
To get 4 Ohm you need a dual 2 Ohm speaker. I fell into this trap but the lads a Bass Junkies swapped the speaker over for me.
The dual 2 ohm voice coil subs can be wired for either 1 Ohm or 4 ohm.
You cannot run single coil supply you will damage the speaker!!
hope that helps I can do a diagram if you want?

Yours would be OK if the signal to BOTH coils is identical, and the gains are also identical.

400watt bridged mono at 4 ohm, amp
4ohm dual voice coil Sub.
Why can't I just use One voice coil and NOT connect to the other, seen on a USA forum that this is perfectly feasible and used by many installers with no know problems, overheating or burnt out electric's, to me this is the simplest way to connect a rated 4ohm amp and sub????
Why do I need to connect both voice coils to get 2ohms or wire it different to get 8ohms, cant work that one out,
Cheers as always guys,
