I have a Kicker 4ohm DVC driven by a RF 301S amp. Based on the images below, is this system ok being run parallel @ a 2ohm load?

 

2 Ohm or 8 ohm, thats it. Which means your going to hafta put it on once channel of that amp, and only get 150 watts.

Try to return it and get a DVC 2 ohm or a SVC 4 ohm you you can run it bridged on that amp and get your 300 watts.

 

Either go get another DVC 4 ohm sub so you can run on bother channels of the amp, 2 ohms on each, or return it and get a SVC 4 ohm. Most Amps won't run 2 ohm bridged.... so check out your amp specs first. Most amps will run 2 ohms per channel but then only 4 ohms bridged. You'll burn up the amp if you run 2 ohms bridged and it's not rated for it.

I think I am going to return it and get a 2 ohm DVC Alpine Type S....

 

well...after sourcing several different places as to how I should go about getting a DVC 4ohm or DVC 2 ohm, I went with the DVC 2 ohm

The place I purchased (ikesound) and the place that installed it, said I should stick with a DVC 4 ohm for my RF 301S.

To get a better idea, I called Rockford Fosgate personally, and the rep disagreed with the idea of a DVC 4 ohm and recommened either a single 4 ohm or DVC 2 ohm.

Talk about contradictions! Based on the fact of what Bartak said and the RF tech, I went with the DVC 2 ohm. Can someone back me up and tell me I made a wise decision?

There's several ways to wire this fricken thing...and to be honest I'm so confused I can't tell which way is up. If someone has time, could you whip up a quick wiring diagram for my setup in MS paint to show how I should do this? Thanks everyone!

 

The DVC 2 ohm was the right choice. Who knows what the ikesound and installers were smoking.

I will make something on ms paint for you, just wait like 10-15 min and Ill post back here.

 

Here ya go.



Hopefully you can follow that. Hook a positive of one voice coil to the negative of the other voice coil, then the positive and negative that are left, just hook to the amp in bridged mode.

 

thanks bartak...i appreciate your help!

 

No prob.
