New member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 5 Registered: Jun-10 | There are 8 places to hook up outputs on my sub (the sub itself not the enclosure/amp) There are 8 connectors on the underside of the sub 4 on either side. I think they were connected to each other at one point? |

Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 652 Registered: Sep-09 | you only need to hook up 2 of the four on each side and you link one set to the other, thats a dual voice coil sub. the terminals are just made like that for ease of use. |
|
New member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 10 Registered: Jun-10 | Correct? http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vI9-vJ5PJIbrVoovWd6Pb1k0NUFVwc1YVaS8GoLyAqQ ?feat=directlink |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 659 Registered: Sep-09 | close, positive wire on one side negative on the other then one wire linking the remaining connection. do you have a multi meter? |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 11 Registered: Jun-10 | multi meter? and you mean that small gap? link those? so its a full circle rite? |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 12 Registered: Jun-10 | Better? http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/1ov_b7vQ-HY10s9mAalaElk0NUFVwc1YVaS8GoLyAqQ ?feat=directlink |

Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 660 Registered: Sep-09 | like this http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp~Q~1~I~22 and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter also need to see both sets of coils. |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 662 Registered: Sep-09 | whats the ohm loads of these coils any way? whats your target ohm load? |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 13 Registered: Jun-10 | no idea what you talking about when you get into ohm's, target loads, etc... is this correct http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/0K-cAEgRi_ndVhB_loOLl1k0NUFVwc1YVaS8GoLyAqQ ?feat=directlink |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 664 Registered: Sep-09 | thats right if you are going to use a 1 ohm load, this is if its a dual 2 ohm sub if its a dual 4 ohm thats a 2 ohm load. ohm refers to the resistance the sub presents to the amp witch determents the amount of power the amp will see. if you don't get an amp thats 1 ohm stable it will keep cutting off on you if that id a dual 4 ohm sub then you only need an amp thats 2 ohms stable. and you wire the sub to match your application. |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 15 Registered: Jun-10 | I look up the model it says, two 4-ohm voice coils, so as I've got it hooked up now its a 2 ohm load correct? so, with 2 of the subs I would need an amp that could be stable at 4 ohms, correct? |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 669 Registered: Sep-09 | eather 4 ohm or 1 ohm depending on how you wire the two together. whats your budget for the amp and what is the RMS ratting of these subs not the peek. |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 16 Registered: Jun-10 | the subs are ts-w254dvc I'd like to spend under 100 on the amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 671 Registered: Sep-09 | ok so you need ~500 watts total...... the RMS is 250 watts BTW. this is the only thing i found in your price range that sounds like its worth a dam. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_23623_Rockford_Fosgate_R250-1.aspx maybe http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_19264_Kenwood_KAC-8104D.aspx your budget is two small. |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 17 Registered: Jun-10 | Whats RMS? |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 674 Registered: Sep-09 | RMS is the power the sub can handle normally, going over RMS on cheep subs is a great way to kill them then wonder why they died. |

Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 675 Registered: Sep-09 | or if you want the full def hear is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square |
|
Bronze Member Username: EggcreamPost Number: 18 Registered: Jun-10 | Where do you wire the remote start? more specifically witch wire on the back of the head unit. |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 679 Registered: Sep-09 | you mean the remote wire not the remote start, if its an after market head unit it should be the blue wire. |
