I just opened up the loaded box I purchased that contained 2 P3 12" Rockfords. I found that they are 4-ohm DVC, which sucks unless you have a 1-ohm stable amp....which I don't. Anyway-I was confused by the wiring done in the box, so if anyone can help that would be great.
The positive of each voice coil was run to the positive of the chamber's speaker terminal. The negative of each voice coil was run to the negative of the chamber's speaker terminal. (Both chambers were done like this.)
What impedence would this be if hooked up to one amp? Thanks!
if u hookd 1 amp up to both subs like that itd be 1ohm if i understand you correctly. What ohm do u need to be at? 1ohm and 4ohm are ur options if its a mono amp.
Yeah it's a mono amp...it's the Kenwood KAC-9102D. I don't beieve it is 1-ohm stable. What would be the best way to get the most power to each sub? It's 1000W peak and 500W RMS @ 4 ohms, 1700W peak and 850W RMS @ 2 ohms. Thanks
and each sub is 500 rms. so you would be underpowering them ALOT, but thats all you have to work with. you have to wire the subs together like this to the amp:
each sub have its own amp 
each sub have its own amp 
both subs run with one amp 
both subs run with one amp
