I have a MTX 421D mono block and two Audiobahn AW1006T subs. The subs are dual voice coil and i want to wire them to my amp to get the full 420watts going to them how would i wire these to get them to 2ohms stable cause 1ohm is too much for the amp.. any help is appreciated maybe a wiring diagram...

would option 2 work?

Sub 1

Amp Speaker 1: + + -
- + -

Sub 2
Speaker 2: + + -
- + -

thats what the setup looks like now could i bridge can i wire each sub to a seperate speaker output wired parrallel??

sub specs pleeze..

if dual 4's, you can't get a 2 w/o passing on one of ther vc's

imported_JohnnyToronto

^ what he said, if they are dual 2's you can do it, if not, you're SOL.

imported_jayp6969

Their dual 4 ohm but i saw a wiring diagram on that site that says u can do it to 2 ohm

imported_loudsubz

using just the subs themselves you CANNOT wire them to a 2 ohm MONO load

the best you can do is a 4 ohm MONO load to the amp with 2 DVC 4 ohm subs

4 + 4 = 8 ohms

8 in paralell = 4 ohms

or 2 ohm in paralell with 2 ohm is 1

the only other option you have is to use impedance matching transformers

Whiplash

yup..
you can get 4 or 1

since ya got a thing for that site...

now i looked on audiobahns website and it says i have a dual 2 ohm but every where else says this sereis is 4ohm so what should i wire it 2

Whiplash

they're dual 4 ohm..

see where it sayd "Operation" 2 or 8 ohm?? means it's a dual 4 (series or parallel operation)

Whiplash

wtf?? wait a sec..
looking at VC it says 2.5" dual 2 ohm..
then operation would be 1 or 4

if i get a chance i'll call Tim tomorrow but i'd say it's a misprint..
look at the other 2 subs

imported_jayp6969

yeah i was thinkin a miss print too so i guess i gotta get a better amp then

Whiplash

or get a twin to the amp you have..

imported_loudsubz

measure ur coils

imported_jayp6969

how do i measure them postivie and negative prongs on the same of the subs and just set it at ohms?

Whiplash

yup
