Sub install

[Macario Marino]

Ok so I ended up buying a box from a local shop I'm running 2 12" hypnotics 2000 watt subs and a bass infernal 3000 watt amp( bought both of those at a special at another local well known audio shop) and I wired them in series and my friends uncle who has a shop said my subs are a cheap brand but I know dB drive makes those 2 products I mention. But my question was what do you guys think of my setup, and also how do I wire the loc I have the sn15 I think that's the model it I read the manual but have no clue how to wire it I know the left and right channel but I'm left with two extra wire that says something about a ground. Well any feedback is appreciated thanks. I'll upload pics later.

Two Extra wires that say ground. Lol you are joking right. You should onley need one growd and that would be for the amp itself as for the sub need to know If there are single coil or DVC and what inpadense they are they should say on the box or on the back of the sub. If you are still not sure need the whole mode number of the subs on the side of the box As fare as what you have you can make anything sound good if wired right

They are DVC 4 ohm. They safe way is to write them at 8 ohm each and the mono at amp Amp will see a 4 ohm load What does the amp do at 4 ohm.

For 8 ohm wire VC1 + to vc2 - that will leave with vc1- and vc2+ run them into box wiring cup and in the back of box wire both +- in to amp bridge if am is a mone amp there should only be one set of out if it is a stereo out there should be writhing on the amp that says what + and - to hook to for amp bridge

So basically I will make a jumper wire from one voice coil to the other and then I I power sub number two from sub number one right?

Jump at the speaker yes but run both set of lead from the box to the amp if you jump wire in the back of the box one speaker will get more power then the other one stip and twisted them to gather at the amp

Ok I got it now I'll do that tomorrow oh and I have one more question which way is better front fire or rear fire? The shop told me rear fire is better than front fire.

[lfree11012]

Rear and if wont fold the set down too if you don't Mind looking at the back of the boxes. You lose 3-5 db because the set is up

Thanks I appreciate your help I'll wire my subs tomarrow the way you said, once again

[Macario Marino]

I'm about to connect the power wires to the subs but I ran into a problem how do I connect the remote wire if I have the stock radio?

[lfree11012]

There are a few ways to get it there is a remote turn on int the back of the radio or you can run to a fuse that turns on and off with the key Look for the wight wire come out of the back of radio or blue whit Wh stipe
