Actually if you follow along you wills tand a much better chance than them. I would look to see if there is any members local to you that could help you out. This board is kinda small, so you may want to try a more populated board. well, i mean look at the number of responses so far, theres been li...

im going to best buy to have the amp tuned after i install the second subwoofer. already made the appointment. i didnt have much luck trying it on my own, and i will most likely return the dmm. i think the amp i have will be fine powering two subs as long as i have someone tune it that knows what th...

ok, i am just trying to figure this out. this picture shows exactly how my setup is wired right now. http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1DVC_2-ohm_2ch.jpg on that picture, where the red and blue wires are connecting to the amp, is where i put the positive and neg...

Depends on the power. You only apply the DMM across the channels you are using. For instance if you have it bridged, across the two bridging terminals. If you are running two channels, then you just pick one channel. The reason the gains so far up is because its a lower end amp- you are milking it ...

The ONLY way to successfully wire your setup is to series both coils on each sub (4 Ohms) and run to each channel. The rest for your purposes is meaningless as this is the only way you can run it. lol i would never run it any other way. that what im doing right now. i will run 4 ohms from each chan...

when you have one subwoofer, you put the amp in bridged mode right? so when you get two subwoofers, does each woofer put out less power than one would in bridged mode? or is it the same?

The final value you found is what you adjust your gain to until you see that voltage number on your DMM. so even tho im powering 2 subs into the amp, both at four ohms, its still 220 rms x 4 ohms, then square root of that. correct?? i will tell you guys how it went when i do this tomorrow. thanks f...

do you factor into the math how many subs you have, or does it not matter since it is separated by 2 different channels?

well im only setting the gain this way i will fine tune differently. but is that math correct?
