can i bridge 2 subs to the same channel if the amp is bridgeable at 4 ohm?

Depends on the impedance of the subs.

 

[Hotstartup]

care to elaborate.

subs are MTX 6000 DVC 4 ohm

yeah you should be fine if you run the coils on each sub in series and run the subs parallel to each other

 

[Tinkindling]

If you run two 4 ohm devices in parallel, they will look like a 2 ohm load to the amp. If you run them in series, they will look like an 8 ohm load. An amp designed to drive a 4 ohm load may try to deliver too much power into a 2 ohm load, and it may meltdown.

I think you should consult an audio specialist before you hook everything up, just to be sure you don't ruin anything.

since he has 2 4ohm dvc subs, you can run the coils in series so each sub is 8 ohms and then subs parallel to each other to get a 4 ohm load. ive done it before you should be fine if you do it right

this is how i wired my subs. for connecting it to the amp, i was thinking of just splincing and connecting the wiring for both + from the subs together, and both -, and bridgeing those 2 lines, exactly how it is shown in the pic.

the amp is 2 channel, 2 ohm unbridged, 4 ohm bridged

wire each coil to parallel and then combine the sub in series


or

should get the same impedence. follow with what seems easier to you.

damn i hate it when the mods move stuff. i wanted this to be in GD.
