Heres what i have

 

(2) 2ohm RE audio SRx10" subs 300rms each

(1) Sundown audio SAZ-1000d

---RMS power, 2 ohm linkable/dual mono

1800W x 1CH

----RMS power, 1 ohm mono

1000W x 1CH

----RMS power, 2 ohm mono

600W x 1CH

----RMS power, 4 ohm mono

300W x 1CH

 

Now my Amp has 2 sets of speaker outputs (A/B), i assume they are wiried in parralel internally.

 

i purchased the amp a mono D block because i wanted to run the system at 2ohm load and wire it like this

2DVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg

 

Thinking that my amp would run 600rms x1 @2ohm divided by 2 because I'm using to subs i would be right were i wanted 300 RMS to each sub. Now i open the amp and see it has 2 sets of speaker outputs i really have no idea how to wire this.

 

should i just use one of the speaker outputs and wire it like the diagram posted above??

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Check out this website. It has alot of info on Ohms. You want to get the most out of a sub but you dont want to burn up an amp. Also if your amp is a 2 channel and its bridged then there should be a line over the output terminals to tell you which positive and negative to use. You would be using the just one of each channel making it a single channel amp. You should get more power out of it that way.

It dosen't matter if u hook one sub up to the left pos and neg and the other to the right pos and neg or if you hook up both to one set like in your picture the extra set of terminals is just a convenience factor the amp isn't going to regulate what ohms it sees. IMO I would hook up one set of speaker wires just to have less wires to hide. And if your unsure get a dmm and check the ohms.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
