Is this the correct wiring

Bronze Member Username: MercsableKalamazoo, MI USA Post Number: 59 Registered: Apr-06 | I am wondering if this is the correct wiring. I ask because I am not directly connecting each sub to the amp..the one sub is indirectly wired. Surprisingly, this is not an actual photo of the subs. I had to draw them by hand.  |

Bronze Member Username: MercsableKalamazoo, MI USA Post Number: 60 Registered: Apr-06 | Well then I guess I dont understand. I had 2 SS Rl-P 12s 750wrms a piece 2ohmDVC wired at 2 ohms. My infinity amp puts out 1300wrms at 2 ohms. Then I decided to wire one of the subs by itself and it put out a 4ohm load which my amp puts out 854 at 4ohms. My single sub alone sounded better in both SPL and SQ than when there were 2. WTF..?? |

The way you have it, twice as much current has to flow through the wires between the amp and the double connection. The wire may not be heavy enough gauge. |
