Can you connect this amp to a duel voice coil sub and if, how? Thank you.

Amp wants a 4 ohm load, and performs best at that resistance. How many terminals does your sub have (I presume 2) and what are the drivers' impedance? Whatever you do, you MUST attain a 4 ohm NET resistance

The dual voice coils can be wired in Series http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/subwoofer-amps-high-pass-filters/25112-ep4000-maelstrom-x-ii-2.html

Yes u can depending on the ohm of your subs. You want to run it at full power so that would be 1 ohm load. So you need 2 dual 4 ohm subs run them parallel. Meaning + to +and -to -. Had my bench tested it pushed right around 1300 rms at one ohm. Just set ur gains right and run 4 gauge nothing less. This amp pushes my eclipse like crazy and they are 600 rms a sub. Hope this helps.

Yes because this is a one channel monoblock amp the one channel works just like a 2 channel bridged. Now this amp is rated at 14.4 volts to push 650 watts continous (rms) at a 2 ohm load and at a 4 ohm load it will push 400 watts continous. So make sure you get the right ohm subs. If you want to push the full 650 watts make sure your sub is 4 ohm single voicecoil or if its a dual voicecoil you can use 2-8 ohm subs just make sure the subs if dual voicecoil are wired to a 4 ohm load before you connect the sub to amp, when you connect to the amp it will read 2 ohm so you will get the full 650 watts.

I had this set up for a while. Wire the subs to 2ohms. Better to over power a sub than under power

If it was the dual 4 ohm voice coil subwoofer it would be fine, the way you'd have to wire the dual 2 ohm version won't give the sub enough power (wired in series for 4 ohms). The amp I got was tested to put out 631 watts rms total, but wiring is the problem here.

Yes, I believe. The sub has dual coils and are each 4 ohm I believe. But if I remember my audio correctly, which I think I'm wrong, is when the coils are wired up, it adds to a 2 ohm speaker. Idk. But I am pretty sure that the coils are both 4 ohm. Hope this helps

Right now I have this running to my sub amp. I use the radio for my mains. Just have to adjust the levels to make it sound right.

Wire the sub at 2 ohms if it's possible. Makes the amp put out max power and sub slap. If your sub is not a dual voice coil 4 ohm, get one.

You'll be under powering the sub almost 1000 watts. Cause the amp puts out 1800 watts @4ohms and 2500@ 2 ohms. So if u don't already have a sub, try a 2 ohm one it should work better.

i wouldn't, running in parallel only changes the wattage/ohm count. you can at your own risk though, but the point of the crossover is to change the frequency range to usable for the tweeter. i tried it a few years ago with a set of crossovers and blew them in a few months on just the deck.

Hi. I don't know for sure, but my understanding is that you cannot bridge this amp. Cheers

yes that will work be sure to look up diagram for dual speaker coils if you wire it for 4 or 8 ohm the 8 ohm will reduce the watts by around half the rms supplied by the amp

I dont think so...This amp is not work for Sub....only small out put 2 channel and will be work on regular output.

Yes.. Just have to make sure your sub runs at 2 ohms and hook it up the right way

It is a quite impressive 5 channel amp for the size and price. It will power as many subs as you would like provided you can wire them correctly(ohms law). Although I would agree with josh below, one is probably best. I am using one dual voice coil sub at 2omhs It only has one sub channel output if that is your question. I was so impressed with this amp when I bought it for my truck, I bought two more, one for the Camaro and one for the boat. I threw away or gave away every other amp I had.

Yes it will work but your going to have too much power. Your probably going to have to turn the gain on the amp all the way down. Are you going to run one or two subs. I would run two at 4 ohms if you have a choice.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub
