Subwoofer Box Wiring 2 Ohm Kicker Wiring Diagram

The amplifier produces 750 watts rms at 2 ohms final impedance so need to find subwoofers that when wired properly produce a 2 ohm load.

Subwoofer box wiring 2 ohm kicker wiring diagram. Kicker s tyson coker an 11 year technical support veteran shows how to wiring a dual voice coil subwoofer in series. This example shows how series wiring can make a 2 ohm dvc subwoofer into a 4. Your ad blocker is preventing this page from displaying correctly. Single voice coil wiring options.

Now if you look at the description for the kicker. Wire a 2 ohm sub to each terminal and the amp sees one ohm as its total load. Your amp won t like this and will probably shut down or overheat. Check the amplifier s owners manual for minimum impedance the amplifier will handle before hooking up the speakers.

The following diagrams are the most popular wiring configurations. The second speaker output terminal is there for convenience and if you hook a speaker to each terminal it would result in the two speakers being wired in parallel cutting the total impedance in half. Below two 2 ohm dvc speakers single 2 ohm load diagram shows two dvc 2 ohm subs with each subwoofer s voice coils wired in series to form a 4 ohm speaker 2 2 4 then the two 4 ohm subs are wired in parallel with each other to form a single 2 ohm load. The rms ratings match up very closely so this setup if we can get the wiring right will work great.

They show a typical single channel wiring scheme. The location of positive and negative speaker terminals have been reversed in one or more diagrams for easier readability.
