ok i bought 2 punch 12's in a box with a 250 watt punch amp, the amp is already mounted to the box and hooked up to the speakers but i have some questions about how its hooked up and what settings to use.

--First there are 2 outputs L and R for speakers ouputs on the amp he has both speakers linked togather and wired into the R output and nothing wired to the left, he also has the crossover setting on LP (HP-Full-LP are the options) is this setup right ??? i know nothing about amps or speakers but it looks kinda weird.

--What crossover frequency setting should it be on???

--also there is a wire labled REM and it is spliced into the + wire that goes to the battery is this correct???

if someone could help me answer these questions that would be much appriciated.

L and R outputs are you Left and Right speakers connections, it may be bridged by using both channels, neg from one channel and positive from the next (not sure which L/R for Neg or Pos, maybe someone else can get that)

Crossover setting on LP is for Low Pass Frequency (BASS), Hp is for High Pass Frequency (TREBLE), FULL is everything.

REM is your Remote, something like your ACC, usually wired(splice) from the headunit to turn on the AMP when you power your head unit.

hope this helps you out...

as far as him taking one spkr power from the R and one from the L, he was bridging the amp, which makes it put out more power. It safe as long as you arent runing your amp too hard by wiring it wrong. if both speakers play, and the amp never heats up and cuts off, then it's probrably done correctly.

For your subs, your crossover should be set on LP, and around 80Hz to give a nice punch.

NO, the REM (remote, which tells the amp when to come on)wire should be SEPERATE from the one that goes straight to the battery. If you connect them to the same, the amp will never cut off, thus draining your battery when you're not in the car.
REM should be connected to a positive wire that ONLY comes on when the car is on. (you can splice the radio/power antenna power wires for your REM)
any other ?'s ...just holler.

thanks for info but im still confused at the way he has the amp setup now there is a left speaker output, with a neg and pos slot and a right speaker outlet with a neg and pos slot and he had both the 12's hooked togather going into the right speaker outlet and no wires at all going into the left speaker outlet.

that's not realy the right way to bridge em.
what kind of woofers do you have ?? 2 12" i know but are they DVC (dual voce coil?) probrably 4 terminals on each speaker

or SVC (single voice coil) 2 terminals on each speaker.

either way, you dont wanna bring that punch amp down below 4 ohms.
Tell what kinda woofers they are and i can explain more

there are 2 wires comming from each speaker then he has the neg on one the the neg on the other hooked togather same with the pos them they hook into the right speaker output neg and pos terminals.

go to the 3rd page in here-> http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/html/asb/...r-1221d_om.pdf

its alpine but it shows diagram on couple of ways to hook up your sub to your amp.

well since you're using a rockford amp. they cant be bidged to lower than 4 ohms mono.

so your best bet would be to hook them straight up, one speaker to the left terminals of the amp (+ to + and - to -)
and then the same on the right side with the other spkr.

In theory if he bridges the subs correctly(at 4ohm mono), or runs them 2ohm stereo he should get the same amount of power...

That is if he has each sub wired at 2 ohms...

if he runs em 2 ohm stereo, he'll only be able to use one channel because he has only 2 (4 ohm)_ speakers

therefore it wont be the same power as running 4 ohm mono.
Plus, rockford amps Love the 4 ohm mono configuration, they almost "double" their power when ran that way, versus stereo configs

don't run the subs in stereo mode when they are both in the same box!!

so what way should i have it hooked up??? i guess it dosent really matter cause right now the 2 speakers are hooked togather making them 2 ohm then hooked to the right outlet of the amp

--ps what cant u run stereo if the speakers are in the same box??

run one speaker to the left side of the amp.
and the other speaker to the right side of the amp.
You cant bridge those speakers with that amp because it will heat up and cut off eventually.

i dunno what the hell caus44 is talking about.

why do u say that??? the back of the amp says u can run it at 2 ohms so i dont see a prob with them being bridged?

does the amp say...
2 ohms bridged
or
2 ohms stereo

i mean, correct me if i'm wrong. But i thought rockford amps are to be ran bridged at 4 ohms.
The way you have it hooked up now (all 4 speaker wires on one side of the amp) is running 2 ohms stereo
