Is it ok to put two speaker wires in one outlet?

Question

i got a kicker zx750.1 amp and it has two outlets one for negative and one for positive and i got two subs that are 2ohm dvc and i have two positive wires and two negative wires coming out my box terminals, is it gon be cool to put both the positives in that one positive outlet and the two negatives in the negative outlet?

Answer 1

Do this to the wires coming from the back of your box, connect positive to positive, and negative to negative, then take some more speaker wire and attach the positive to your positive wires, the negative to the negative wires, then connect the positive to you positive connection on your amp and the negative wire to the negative connection on your amp. DONE.

Answer 2

You can do it - just be careful - The more speakers you put on one circuit the lower the resistance load goes. If you are putting 2 speakers into one output that you are lowering the 4 ohm load to 2 ohms - and I reallize that amp is rated at 2 ohms - but that doesn't mean it won't run hotter that way. Just because an amp is rated at something doesn't mean it likes to run that way all the time... and the minute you hit a really low note and the amp has to push out a burst of power - the signal could clip causing the resistance to drop to almost zero - which could damage the output transistors in the amp... you could probably run it like this with no trouble as long as you don't turn the volume up to the point of distortion.

Answer 3

yes it would be alright since your subs are 2 ohm DVC's you probably have each sub at a 4 ohm load now so if you put the 2 +'s and the 2 -'s together you would get a 2 ohm load which is best for that amp

but if you have each sub at a 1 ohm load DO NOT BRIDGE THEM TO THE AMP because that will make it a .5 ohm load kickers amps can only handle up to a 2 ohm load

Answer 4

Yes

I have a huge audio system
and im an idiot
i experimented with it
you can stick as many
negatives and positives as
you want in

now an example of something
that isn't ok using a 18 vlt adapter
for a speaker that is for 9vlt
bad result

Answer 5

you have two sets of wires, so you have two single voice coil subs (my assumption)

it should be ok. most svc subs are 4 ohms, so it should be a 2 ohm load, which is ok for that amp.

Answer 6

I seen people lift up their carpet and run the wires along the edges of the wall. i have also seen faux baseboards where you run the wire along the edge of the wall and cover the wire with the faux baseboards.

Answer 7

it may burn up your amp. its not safe for your amp. i wouldnt do it. get a 2 or 4 channel amp

Answer 8

i don't think you should be messing with anything like that man trust me you do the wrong thing and it can catch on fire you should talk to professional about it man.. just ask an electrician

Answer 9

heck no

Answer 10

yeah its ok
