Sub wiring

Bronze Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 96 Registered: Dec-04 | Can anyone tell me what ohm to wire these subs at? They are Pioneer 12" TS-W305DVC. On the backs it says Dual 4 ohm voice coils, 400w nom, 800w max, 2/8 ohm impedance. This is how they were wired, not sure what ohm it is. The amp i'm running them with is a A1200 PPI 4ohm stable. |

Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Post Number: 218 Registered: Mar-06 | i think that would put it at 8 ohms |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 5877 Registered: Dec-04 | Hey Steve that way you have them wired makes no sense. @ of the vc's arnt even powered. go to any wiring page and wire them up to a 4 ohm load. that amp is not stable under 4 ohms mono so don't run it any lower. If you want to run it at 1 ohm get a ono amp and in this case let me know because I will buy the a1200 from you. |

Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 105 Registered: Dec-04 | Hi James,it doesn't sound very good at 4ohms at all. The way i had them wired they sound alot better. Really hit hard. A car audio shop here in Baltimore told me to wire them up that way but i was running an older fosgate amp at the time. I know it is only 4 ohm stable thats why i wanted to rewire them. It must be some kind of competion setup, lol.... Surely must be somone on here that has seen this before. {HELP} |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston, MA Post Number: 274 Registered: Mar-06 | Original pic was driving coil 2 and 3 at a 1 ohm load, Thats why it sounded like it was hitting harder. |
|
Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 106 Registered: Dec-04 | Thanks Marc, do you have pic for the 1 ohm load? |
|
Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 107 Registered: Dec-04 | Also marc, would i get a better SQ out of the subs if i damppen the inside of the box? |
|
Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 108 Registered: Dec-04 | Anyone know if that would help? |
|
Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 109 Registered: Dec-04 | I ended up wiring them up @ 1 ohm, they sound so much better, thanks marc:} |
|
Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston, MA Post Number: 283 Registered: Mar-06 | Cool, |
|
Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 110 Registered: Dec-04 | I think i might look for an Orion amp on ebay though, one that can run 1 ohm stable. Did PPI make any older amps in the art series that would run stable at 1 ohm? |

Silver Member Username: LittleguyPost Number: 112 Registered: Dec-04 | The subs hit so hard marc, when i play a cd it skips when the bass hits:} |
|
