Wiring 2 DVC Subwoofers to Mono Amp with 2 speaker terminals

[connorwongtellem]

If I'm wiring like the title says say the Amp is rated at 500 watts RMS at 4 OHMS and 1000 watts at 2 OHMS, if I ran speaker wire from each sub to the terminals for 2ohms would it deliver 500 watts for each channel (1000/2) or would both terminals produce 1000 watts of power?

what amp is it?

We need sub impedance for each coil to help.

If its 2ohm per coil then it'll work the way you want it to. If they are 4ohm coils on the subs, you're going to get 4 ohm load unless your amp is 1ohm stable.

For 2ohm/coil subs: Wiring the sub coils in series, that is the (+) from coil #1 to the (-) of the coil #2 on the same sub will give you an 4ohm load. Do this for both subs. Wire the remainder terminals in parallel, (-) on sub #1 to (-) on sub #2 to (-) on amp. Repeat for (+). That will result in 2ohm overall load and "500W" per sub

For 4ohm/coil subs: Wiring the sub coils in series, that is the (+) from coil #1 to the (-) of the coil #2 on the same sub will give you an 8ohm load. Do this for both subs. Wire the remainder terminals in parallel, (-) on sub #1 to (-) on sub #2 to (-) on amp. Repeat for (+). That will result in 4ohm overall load and "250W" per sub

So your saying that each terminal would put out half of the RMS rating based on Impedance like 1000 watts at 2ohms would be 500 watts RMS per terminal.

What amp is it and what is the impedance(ohm) for each voice coil?

Can't answer the question without this information.

Look at it this way:

You speakers and the way they're wired determine the load that the amp will see. This load will determine the power you get out of the amp or the power you need to get from the amp. The lower the load, the easier it is for it to produce the rated power. I halved the power each subwoofer receives because you have two subwoofers with equal loading ( I'm assuming).

Follow this link on determining how to set up your system and if you have the right components.

I hope this helps? sorry if it doesn't, I sorta skimmed
Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams
I came across this when I wanted to know more about wiring for ohms. Just about any combo. Mono, 2CH, 4CH amps with 1 to 4 subs DVC or SVC

EDIT: haha terra4r beat me to it with the link (same site diff info)
