Subs for Sierra

[beretta01]

Hi, I have a 2000 GMC Sierra and Im going to put a Kicker CompVX 10" in a truck box (shown here). I already have a Clarion DPX1800 amp (shown here). I still have the stock radio in my truck also....My question is that will these 2 work with each other and do I need to buy any adapters or anything like that. The sub says that it is "DVC woofer wired internally for a single 2-ohm load " and my amp says "Bridged RMS Power: 800W x 1 @ 2 ohms ". Will these work together? Thank you so much for your help.

If you haven't already bought the CompVX Id recommend going with Kickers Solo Baric L5 or L7. I have two 10inch L5's in sealed boxes with a JL 1000/1 pushing them in my regular cab Sierra and it hits harder than anything I've put in there yet! {The next runner up was 4-12 inch pioneer premiers with 3000 watts going to them} 2 weeks ago I shattered my rear view mirror with the solo baric's The only thing you should need is a High Level to RCA line converter. You just splice it into your rear speaker wires behind your stock stereo, hook it up to a ground and plug your RCA's into it and your amp. Try to find one with adjustable gain and frequency level. It will make a HUGE difference when it comes to tuning your amp and taking the high frequency noise out of the signal while keeping a strong RCA signal to your amp.

1 2 ohm DVC sub = 1 ohm load wired to a mono sub amp

 

make sure your amp is 1 ohm stable while bridged or youll end up scorching your amp

"DVC woofer wired internally for a single 2-ohm load" - This means that what you've got got is a Sub with 2 voice coils, 4 Ohms each. Wired parallel, that brings the impedence down to 2 ohms. That's the important part, because this is what the amp will see

 

I think they have the terminology on the Amp mixed up, Bridged mode is when you use 2 or more channels to power a single circuit, and at first glance this looks like a 1-channel amp. If the 800x1 @ 2 Ohm is correct though, it'll match just fine. I'd re-check the specs at another site and make sure the amp is 2-Ohm stable.

if it is a 2 channel amp be sure to check how many ohm stable the amp is when you bridge it. most of the time if its advertised as a 1 ohm stable 2 channel amp, it is only 2 ohm stable when you bridge it. Good luck
