Does anyone know if i can wire the 2 4 ohms voice coils in series and get 8 ohms on this subwoofer to put in my home theater speaker box?Thanks

yes you can, run the positive from your amp to positive on # 1 coil run the jumper wire from negative on the # 1 negative to the positive of # 2 coil run the negative from # 2 coil back to the negative of your amplifier this is series 8 ohms

How do I connect my subwoofer to my Sony STR-DH 800 if my subwoofer has two wire connector?Do I need to buy another subwoofer to fit onto the subwoofer port on the STR-DH 800?

If u have 2 subs DVC 4 ohm each. Hook them up into 1 ohm parallel connections and you're all set! have fun!

Well this subwoofers are 4 ohms , and your average home audio systems are 8 ohms so I won't recommended for home audio.

No they can't without re-wiring them. On the back of the box there is just one spot for connecting to the subs. Yes that is correct. They are two 8 ohm subs wired in parrallel to achieve the 4 ohms.

You loose power by going with the 8 ohm. The lower the resistance, the higher wattage output you get. If you went with a dual voice coil 8 ohm and wired it in parallel (pos to pos) this would get it to 4 ohms.

Only 4 Ohms. You'd need the dual voice coil version: Infinity Reference 1262w 12-Inch 1200-Watt High-Performance Subwoofer (Dual Voice Coil)

You need to dual voice coil 4 ohm with that amp. You can only drive as low as 2 ohms stable with that sub set if you try for 1 ohm you will end up with a 1/2 ohm load. And the amp is not rated for that

you can wire the sub as low as 1 ohm and the speakers to 2 ohm i believe on this amp. so yes you can do 2ohm for the sub "which would be a dual 4 ohm or dual 1 ohm dvc" and do your front stage at 4 ohms.

they are 4 ohms each coil. i wouldnt recommend wiring them down to 1 ohm because i had them at 2 ohms with an ssl 4000 watt amp and blew them. they say 2500 but they cant really handle as much as they say and they dont hit the lows as well as i hoped for. but anyways. the subwoofer will come with a wiring diagram on how to wire them to 2, 4, or 8 ohms. if you want a good cheap subwoofer i recommend the power acoustik mofo series. with sub woofers you get what you pay for. mofo's are definitely worth every penny. i had mine replaced with the mofo 122x. good luck and keep the bass bangin!

Is the resistance 8 ohms total, or 8 ohms per channel? If it's 8 ohms total, you would want to hook up, for example, two 16 ohm speakers, not two 8 ohm speakers. Basically, if you have two speakers with 8 ohms of resistance each (for example), that would result in 4 ohms total. I don't know if that helps at all...

You will have to run them in series and wire them for 2 ohm because it wont push enuff watts for both subs at 4 ohms

Ive got mine hooked to a pioneer premier 12 in 2ohms and its really really loud I have to keep the subwoofer line way down. Im sure it would be similar for yours in 4ohms its a very strong amp. Works great ive had a few different kenwood amps and they always perform.

They have a switch on the back of the subwoofer. Makes you be able to switch from 1 to 2 to 4 ohms. So technically yes.

The five passive modular speakers are 8 ohm. I don't know what the sub-woofer is, but since its an active sub-woofer (has it's own built in amplifier) I don't think it will matter.

You may want to series the 2 voice coils to get 8 ohms, then run the amp in bridged mode. The 2 amp channels will see an equivalent of a 4 ohm load each.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub
