Subwoofer Box Wiring 2 Ohm Kicker Wiring Diagram

4 ohm mono is equivalent to 2 ohm stereo.

Subwoofer box wiring 2 ohm kicker wiring diagram. Two 2 ohm dual voice coil dvc speakers wiring diagrams. Now if you look at the description for the kicker. So go to the wiring tool and type in 2 subwoofers. The location of positive and negative speaker terminals have been reversed in one or more diagrams for easier readability.

This example shows how series wiring can make a 2 ohm dvc subwoofer into a 4. Below two 2 ohm dvc speakers single 2 ohm load diagram shows two dvc 2 ohm subs with each subwoofer s voice coils wired in series to form a 4 ohm speaker 2 2 4 then the two 4 ohm subs are wired in parallel with each other to form a single 2 ohm load. Check the amplifier s owners manual for minimum impedance the amplifier will handle before hooking up the speakers. The second speaker output terminal is there for convenience and if you hook a speaker to each terminal it would result in the two speakers being wired in parallel cutting the total impedance in half.

The following diagrams are the most popular wiring configurations. Wire a 2 ohm sub to each terminal and the amp sees one ohm as its total load. Your amp won t like this and will probably shut down or overheat. Kicker s tyson coker an 11 year technical support veteran shows how to wiring a dual voice coil subwoofer in series.

The rms ratings match up very closely so this setup if we can get the wiring right will work great. The amplifier produces 750 watts rms at 2 ohms final impedance so need to find subwoofers that when wired properly produce a 2 ohm load.
