i am a total n00b at this whole electricity thing. I mean watts, volts, amps, ohms, impedance. its all chinese to me. I need some guidance. In a nutshell what Im trying to do is add a sub woofer to my home stereo. 1st of all I need to build an enclosure for it. Yes I only have one. (Rock Fosgate 15"...

So I recently bought a used amp, a Pioneer GM-X862. I also just bought a new 12" DVC sub, the Infinity Reference 1252w Now, since this is a dual voice coil sub, I can either get a 2ohm or 8ohm impedance. Here are two examples of what I could do: http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter...

This raises another issue regarding speaker wire, impedance, etc. 1 for the pros here to contemplate. Whenever I am cutting my wires to run from amp to speakers, I measure the length I need to run to the speaker furthest from the amp, then cut both or all 4 wires the same length. My logic here is that...

You need 4 ohm marine grade speakers that can handle 20 watts RMS. I am also in the process of replacing the outside speakers on my camper. Mine are only 2 - 5.25" Jensen speakers, so you know how bad that sucks. I found some Polk marine grade on Crutchfield.com I have my mind set on. I am planning...

how would i hook up 2 4-Ohm DVC subs in parallel so i can get it down to a 2-Ohm load for my amp i need the subs to be receiving 1200 watts RMS. im using an Audiobahn a2300HCT 4800W Max, High-Current 2-Channel Car Amplifier RMS Power Rating: 300 watts x 2 chan. @ 4 ohms 600 watts x 2 chan. @ 2 ohms 1200...

I just purchased a Pioneer DEG-P5000UB h/u for my 2002 Silverado and I am looking for some advice in selecting speakers. I'm wanting to replace the four factory speakers with speakers that will give me a nice warm, rich sound. Subs are not in the plan until sometime in the future. I'm looking at the...

i have a valor vpa1005 and i'm not sure what the impedance is the description sounds like you can run it at both 4 ohm and 2 ohm. i already have 4 ohm speakers hooked up to this five channel amp, and i wanted to get a sub. preferably what would be better? because the rms at 2 ohm is 600 w and at 4 ohm...

Ok, I have two Kicker L7's when I got the subs I made sure to get 4ohm subs because that was what my el-cheapo amp put out when bridged(I have two of the el-cheapos, each powering each sub). This is how it is ran: Ok, so according to the diagram, it is putting an 8 ohm load onto the amplifier and the...

i am using a speaker junction box to power 3 pairs of speakers (one pair being bose, the other two KLH) from a david hafler 220 amp. it blew yesterday. could the speaker junction box have had an effect on the speaker output of the amplifier? twenty years ago this amp was state of the art equipment. please...

What about 2 speakers in series on the left and 2 speakers in series on the right on the "A" channel let the "B" channel do the sub-woofers(s)? Even though it is old, would the fact the reciever being rated at 100+ watts per channel and will never be cranked that high for just TV audio factor into things...
