Bought new sub for old amp, confused :confused:

[92CordDX]

Okay, so i have a 10" Xplod being pushed by a 680w Jensen 2,3,4 channel amp.


I just purchased this sub to replace the xplod, but a friend told me i cannot run ir with my current amp necause the sub is a DVC @ 2Ohm.

here is the sub:

can anyone help me with what type of amp to purchase? my friend said a Mono class D amp, but i'm still confused.


Thanks

There are two different ways to wire it, 1 ohm or 4 ohm.

Get a amp that supports either.

Wire It To 4ohm.

Wire It To 4ohm.

Yup, in series....that is the best way for your application.

Hey guys, thanks a ton for the help, im sure ill still need this when i reinstall all of the components and stuff.

i decided to sell my current sub/amp since i have the new sub coming, and upgrade the amp as wqell to a Kicker 300.1 amp

= 4ohms

[92CordDX]

okay guys, i got all the stuff ehre and awaiting installation,, i just don't understand this DVC and Ohms stuff AT ALL!


yeah sorry for the confusion, it's a kicker 300.1 and a 2 ohm DVC 10" kicker sub.



wire it in series or parallel?

[floored]

Youre amp can put out 150 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (300 watts x 1 at 2 ohms).
the sub is 50-300watts rms.
Wire it in series wich will make it 4 ohm.

I think in this case you should have got the 10"kicker dvc 4ohm that way you couldve brouught it down to 2 ohm.


is the sub still brand new? if so try n return it for a 4ohm

[92CordDX]

So i cant run it at it's highest potential as of now?

[floored]

nope. can you return it. the 2 ohm and 4ohm are the same price

[92CordDX]

Okay,, sweet.
im chatting with an online rep at crutchfield right now, so ill try to get this sorted out.


But you're syaing with the 2ohm, it can run at 150watts? an with the 4ohm, it can run at the full 300?
