what if he adds a second sub, wouldny 4 ohm be best

 

i know this is extrememly off topic right now, esp since my system still isnt working, but since im searching for a new sub, i figured i would ask if a capacitor would make the system sound better, or run more efficient

is this sub ok?

 

dont even worry bout that NO is the answer, they are a great boat anchor though

 

could you wire two subs to the single channel amp? wouldnt it cut down on the power? i would love to run two subs!

 

of course u can put 2 subson a mono amp. with two 4 ohm svc subs your impedience would be 2 ohms, u have to ;ook at ur amp to see what it puts out at that level

 

what do you mean by what it puts out at that level

 

how many watts the amp can produce with a 1,2,4,or 8, ohm load

no capacitor unless you want something for target practice or just want to pay alot of money for some pretty led lights and a voltage gage.



your kicker kx 600.1 puts out 600w rms at 2 ohms. to run i sub 600wrms get a single voice coil 2 ohm or get a dual voice coil 4 ohm. to run 2 subs get 2 single coil 4 ohm subs rated around 300w rms , or 2 subs dual voice coil 2 ohms 300 w rms each

 

so would that sub i posted earlier, the kicker compvr
heres the specs:
Size (IN.,CM) 10, 25.4
Impedance (OHMS) 2 or 4 DVC
Max Rec Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK/RMS)* 800/400
Sensitivity (dB 1w/1m) 85.5
Frequency Response (Hz) 25-500
Mounting Depth (IN.,CM) 5 9/16, 14.1
Mounting Cutout (IN.,CM) 9 1/4, 23.5
Min Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) 0.8, 22.7
Max Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) 3, 85
Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 1.25, 35.4
Max Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 1.75, 49.6

 

yes that would work but get the dual 4 ohm coil model

 

how do you wire the dual coils with one channel

 

nvrm, i found it on that site you showed me!! is this the correct setup for it?

just double checking, thanks

man i hope this fixes it!

 

well, it looks like the sub im getting is the dual 2 ohm voice coil, a buddy of mine has one he is giving me for 30 bucks.
will that be a problem?
