Yes, you can wire a dual 2 ohm sub to 2 ohms. There are two ways to do this:
1. Series wiring
To wire a dual 2 ohm sub to 2 ohms in series, you need to connect the positive terminal of one voice coil to the negative terminal of the other voice coil. Then, connect the positive terminal of the amplifier to the remaining positive terminal on the speaker, and connect the negative terminal of the amplifier to the remaining negative terminal on the speaker.
2. Parallel wiring
To wire a dual 2 ohm sub to 2 ohms in parallel, you need to connect the positive terminals of both voice coils together, and connect the negative terminals of both voice coils together. Then, connect the positive terminal of the amplifier to one of the positive terminals on the speaker, and connect the negative terminal of the amplifier to one of the negative terminals on the speaker.
Which wiring method should you use?
The best wiring method for you depends on your specific needs and goals. If you are looking for the most power handling, then you should wire your subs in series. However, if you are looking for the most efficiency, then you should wire your subs in parallel.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each wiring method:
Series wiring
Series wiring is the simplest way to wire two subwoofers. To wire two subwoofers in series, you simply connect the positive terminal of one subwoofer to the negative terminal of the other subwoofer, and then connect the positive terminal of your amplifier to the remaining positive terminal on the speakers, and the negative terminal of your amplifier to the remaining negative terminal on the speakers.
Series wiring will increase the overall impedance of your speakers. For example, if you have two dual 2 ohm subwoofers, and you wire them in series, the overall impedance of your system will be 4 ohms.
Series wiring also has the advantage of increasing the power handling of your speakers. For example, if you have two dual 2 ohm subwoofers, and you wire them in series, each subwoofer will be able to handle twice as much power as it could if it were wired in parallel.
Parallel wiring
Parallel wiring is a bit more complicated than series wiring, but it has some advantages. To wire two subwoofers in parallel, you need to connect the positive terminals of both subwoofers together, and connect the negative terminals of both subwoofers together. Then, you need to connect the positive terminal of your amplifier to one of the positive terminals on the speakers, and the negative terminal of your amplifier to one of the negative terminals on the speakers.
Parallel wiring will decrease the overall impedance of your speakers. For example, if you have two dual 2 ohm subwoofers, and you wire them in parallel, the overall impedance of your system will be 1 ohm.
Parallel wiring also has the advantage of increasing the efficiency of your speakers. For example, if you have two dual 2 ohm subwoofers, and you wire them in parallel, each subwoofer will be able to produce more bass output for the same amount of power input.
Which wiring method is better?
The best wiring method for you depends on your specific needs and goals. If you are looking for the most power handling, then you should wire your subs in series. However, if you are looking for the most efficiency, then you should wire your subs in parallel.
If you are unsure which wiring method to use, it is always best to consult with a qualified car audio installer.
Additional information
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when wiring a dual 2 ohm sub to 2 ohms:
- Make sure that your amplifier is stable at 2 ohms. Not all amplifiers are stable at 2 ohms, so it is important to check the specifications of your amplifier before you wire your subs.
- Use high-quality speaker wire. High-quality speaker wire will ensure that your subs are getting the full amount of power from your amplifier.
- Make sure that all of your connections are tight. Loose connections can cause your subs to overheat and potentially fail.
