    Travis find out what the amp is stable at then wire you voice coils and amp to match. Wiring them in parallel will be have the ohms of one coil, in series will add the ohms together. Then run to the amp. Same thing goes for the amp outputs, bridged will reduce ohms at the amp. Too little resistance gives you a lot of bang but can over heat your amp.
    ediit: Here is a better diagram.



    Like it says, make sure the amp can handle a two ohm load when bridged. Some 2 channel amps dont like 2 ohms in bridged mode. If you wire it up this way and the amp goes into protect, you'll have to wire it at 4 ohm bridged.

    Why do that when can reduces the wire and keep from frying one coil.

    People that do it your way don't understand wiring and audio ie the Community. And that's bad coming from me.

    Clarke is correct. With two 2 ohm coils, you will want to run themin series and bridge the amp to the combined 4 ohm load. Alternatively, you could run them in 2 ohm stereo, just run a set of speaker wire to each coil. I would run it bridged personally.

    This is just one sub correct?

    I should take Fred's advice on this kind of thing

    For the record:

    HP: the first way you described to wire it ("red-red, black black; red-red, black-black) is 2 ohm stereo, which is the same as 4 ohm bridged. With (2) 2 ohm voice coils, there is not really a way to wire it to a single 2 ohm nominal load. It is either 1 ohm (parallel) or 4 ohm (series) Chances are the amp that Travis has is not stable at 1 ohm bridged, so 2 ohm stereo/4 ohm bridged is probably his best bet.

    Ryno, one minor thing: When you said, "Wiring them in parallel will be have the ohms of one coil, in series will add the ohms together" you were incorrect on the first part. Wiring them in parallel will show HALF the ohms of one coil. Also, I have no idea what this meant: "Why do that when can (?) reduces the wire and keep from frying one coil.

    People that do it your way don't understand wiring and audio (?) ie the Community"

    Anywho, just wanted to try and salvage a little accurate info out of this. So far as your last couple of posts, carry on. Though perhaps it would be better suited for the kitchen, or a boxing ring, or Glaucoma clinic.

    Seems Travis got it squared away now anyway.

    To set everything straight: as I originally drew I bridged the amp and ran the sub in series to get a 4 ohm load.



    I could have went with the sub in parallel (1 ohm) but would more than likly blow the **** out of amp and had it sound like ****.

    So these aux. fuel tanks that mount in the bed, typically under toolboxes....these jsut drain into the main tank via a T in the filler neck? Maybe I am not up on fluid dynamics, but wouldn't it over flow out the fill cap? Creighton?

    there is a small ball valve in the T that prevents overfilling, plus the fill caps seal pretty well.

    I think it's illegal to have one gravity feed from the bed to the OEM tank. That's why you see so many with pump handles on top.

    Only illegal on a gas motor. If it weren't legal you couldn't get installed by a dealer and nothern tool wouldn't sell them and the t fitting

    The reason you see so many with pump handles is that people use these tanks to fill up their equipment.

    OK. I'm just going on the experience of trying to help my brother find a place that would install a setup like that in a Dodge diesel about three years ago. Couldn't find a place that would do it without adding the caveat that it would have to be a cash deal and they wouldn't put their name on it. I'd check a TxDOT regulation book before doing that to a brand new truck is all I'm saying.

    never had a problem getting someone to install one in Harlingen, Elliff Motors did the setup in my FIL truck
