how should i wire my amp and sub????

Question

amp is "kenwood kac 8103D", 1000 watt mono block
500 watt rms at 2ohms and 300 watt rms at 4ohms......
_and_
sub is "JBL GTO1200B"in original ported enclosure at 250 watts rms (4 ohms) and 1000 watt peak. its single voice coil.

how do i wire this and at wat ohms load shud it be 2 or 4. to get most out of the sub?

Answer 1

Your maximum input power in rms of your sub is 250 rms. You total power output @ 4 ohms is 300w rms. So as you can see the amp exceeds the maximum power allowed by your sub. Your best option would be to get a more powerful sub or a smaller amp. I suppose you cant just by a new sub so connect the sub just to the channel @ 4 ohms. But don't set your gain to max neither turn up your volume too high since your sub is exposed to be blown because of too much power.

Answer 2

If you just have a single subwoofer with a single 4-ohm voice coil, then you don't have the option of wiring it for 2 ohms. Just wire the positive speaker terminal to the positive amplifier terminal, and the negative speaker terminal to the negative amplifier terminal. You'll end up with a 4-ohm load. I doubt you'll have a problem with the power difference if you don't abuse it, but be sure to turn on the amplifier's sub-sonic filter since you're using a ported box.

If you have a second subwoofer, you could wire them in parallel for a 2-ohm load and each sub would get 250 watts.

Answer 3

the present passing in the process the wires will reason the wires to warmth up if no longer adequate guage. think of of the tens of millions of little electrons pushing and shoving returned and forth, all this action reasons friction on a molecular point and of direction all of us comprehend friction equals warmth. In a greater guage twine there is extra area for the comparable variety of electons. it is quite that straightforward. Use as heavy a guage speaker twine which you will. you will have not got any sign loss and little warmth.

Answer 4

4 ohms would match up good, also less work on the amp.
