Can i hook these subs to this amp!?

Question

Hey, i have 2 12" MA Audio HK120XC subwoofers and a Kenwood KAC-9104D 1800w Mono D amplifier. will these two subs be able to hook up to this amp. the subs are also Dual 4-Ohm Aluminum Voice Coil subs each.

Answer 1

good choice of amp, I have the same one and it pounds...now onto the question.

The rms rating of those subs is 600watts.

The wiring will be a little tricky. You can't wire them all in parallel as that would be a 1ohm load, which the amp puts out 900 watts rms at that load...that's too much.

So what you want to do is wire each sub in series making each sub an 8 ohm load, then wire the two subs in parallel from the amp. That would make a 4 ohm load and the amp would put out 500 watts rms and that would be just fine.

use the second picture down in this link for each speaker separately
