I have 2 RE Audio SEX12D4's in a sealed box. Both have their own terminals, they are wired down 2 ohms. If I plug them together at the terminal on the amplifier, the amp has 2 speaker outputs, even though it is a monoblock amplifier. If I plug them together, will it be wired down 1 ohms pushing 1700 watts now? or will they both be at 2 ohms pushing 1200 watts, 600 watts to each?

 

I think if you connect the like-polarity wires ( + with +, and - with -), then connect them to one terminal at the amp, you'd have the 1 ohm load you're looking for.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure, right now I have them plugged into the two terminals on the amp, that being the positives and negatives have their own terminals. I will try what you suggested today, see if my subwoofers sound louder, I know that the lower the impedence the less resistance, but I am not sure on the difference it makes to the subwoofers. I am not new to subs and amps, but I've been installing them into my cars for the past 2 years. So I guess I am still sort of a novice. Thanks for the advice! I will repost after I change the set up!

 

I don't suspect you'll hear a difference. I'm pretty sure that the amp is seeing a 1ohm as it's hooked up right now. The two terminals are allowing you to hook the subs up in parallel, and dropping the load to 1ohm. I think you could wire the subs in series, and raise the load to 4ohm - but why would anyone want to do that? lol

 

See that's what I thought too, when I plugged it into a mono amplifier with 2 terminals that whatever the ohms is on the subwoofers, it will see that divided by 2 which will equal 1 ohm at this point. And why would someone want to put it at 4 ohms? Less power and more resistance. Unless you only have 1 voice coil 4 ohm sub, lol
