How do u hook up a "2-ohm" 12"sub to a 2 channel amp ?

Question

Ive just bought a Kicker Solo-Baric L7 S12L72

12" Dual 2-ohm Voice Coil Woofer (750watts)...How do i hook up 2-ohm to my 2 channel bridge amp (1000watts) and I need to know how to break it in? Thank u

Answer 1

wire coils in series to the amp in bridged mode and this will give you a safe 4 ohm load to the amp. if you dont know how, take the positive wire from the amp and go to coil 1 +, now take that coil 1 - out over to coil 2 +, and now take the coil 2 - back to the amp. this will create a 4 ohm load and your good to BOOM!!!

Answer 2

if you have a two channel amp it normally has the speaker output (s***w and plates)

1st  2nd

+ -    + -

to wire it in bridge you wire the + on the 1st chanel and the - on the second (normaly both ends of the outputs)

this way you have the power from both chanells running thru the sub.

to brak the sub in have it running low (turn your base right down as low as it can go) have it at about half volume so the sub is hardly moving, run it like this for a few hours and feel to see if the rubber has started to get warm.

if so turn it up a little (not to much)  and get it slowly moving more and more keep repeating until its almost fully moving.

do this over the minimum of about 8 -10hrs to allow the rubber to loosen if you do it to quickly the rubber can split.

withing the first 2 months never turn it up full as soon as you get in the car allow a 10min warm up period.
