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...

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 have an old JL Audio 12 ohm subwoofer sitting around and I want to install it in my truck. I have a few amps but I'm not sure how to power a 12 ohm woofer. The one amp that I'm thinking of using puts out a mono 4 ohm load. Can I use this to power the 12 ohm sub? If not, what's the best way of powering...

I have MRP-F550 amp that i am planning to run bridged to drive 2 Kicker CRV10- 2 ohm subs. The alpine documents state 90 watts x 4 at 4ohms 125 watts x4 at 2 ohms 250 watts x2(bridged) at 4 ohms No listing for bridged 2 ohms Will the 2 ohm subs work with the without causing damage? What happens if you...

Basically, i have a Sony receiver with no preamp outputs, and i want to maintain all 4 of my 4 ohm speakers, and add an amp with speaker-level inputs. I don't want to touch the front 2 speakers, but would like to add an amp and a subwoofer to the rear while keeping the rear 2 speakers Would running the...

The amp I recently got for free from my neighbor... The Sub I bought a year ago and has never been used (bought a new truck). It's not an exact match as far as specifications go, but my preference is to use this amp no matter what. Preferrably with this combo (lowest cost option for me) and wire it so...

I have a 92 Celica, It comes with a 10 speaker system. (4: 6.50" speakers with tweeters each and 2: 4" speakers) It also has a 6 channel amp. I plan to change the entire system. For speakers I will be using Component Polk Audio db6501 in front and rear. They are rated at 300 peak and 100 rms and at 4...

I m looking to swap out my speakers and I have a few things I need cleared up after looking around. When installing amps do they have to be the same impedance as the H/U or can you hook a 2ohm amp to a 4ohm H/U? Also if im gonna connect the front speakers to the same amp all I need to do is make shure...

If your amp pushs 400 watts at 2 ohms and you hook two 4ohm speakers up to it are you 400 wats to both speakers or 200.
