Sweet deal, I don't mind that at all.

yeah, kicker usually under-rates their amps, i think my 600.1 is putting out just over 700 watts @ 2 ohm

by Darthness » Sun Jun 26, 2005 6:00 am

the amp is probably capable of putting 700w out at 1ohm... or 2...

I also got my email back from the Kicker tech and he said when you run 2 dual 2 ohm CVR's together with the Kicker 600.1 amp it will put out 700 rms to the subs. Ever heard of this?

Ok, I uderstand what is needed now. I need to run 2 dual 2 ohm sub with that amp to get it to work. Thank you very much.

nope!

sorry i missed this. i didnt read it close enough. if you get dual 2 ohm vc subs and parallel wire them for 1 ohm each and then parallel wire the pair together you get 1/2 ohm. you would need to series wire the subs for 4 ohms each and then parallel the pair back to the amp.
here is parallel wiring http://us1.webpublications.com.au/stati ... 33_6mg.jpg

here is series parallel wiring http://www.polkaudio.com/car/amps/diagrams.php

just scroll down to where it says two dvc subs series/parallel

well if you parallel wire the two voice coils together you get two ohms. if you series wire them together you get 8 ohms. there are a few different series parallel combinations depending on what you do with the subs and what your amp can handle. if your amp is only two ohm stable series wire the voice coils on each sub and then parallel the pair back to the amp. if you decide to run a second amp you can hook each subs pair of voice coils up to each amp as if it were actually two subs. this will get you a 2 ohm load and the most power.

ohho k... so in a calculator like the one at a the12v, what would i put in the form for the parallel/series calculator for a DVC sub?

by smoker » Thu Jun 23, 2005 4:23 am

or get a second amp...may be best as you already have an enclosure for these for your car...not the cheapest but probably the best sounding plan then you could run each amp at 2 ohms

I just went to the Kicker site and answered my own question. If I can try to trade the subs for Dual 2 ohm then I can wire the subs to 1 ohm, then I can wire them in parallel and it will present a 2 ohm load. Sound correct?
