hook up?
have a 1000w Lanzar amp 2 channel (bridgeable) and a 12" pioneer Dual Voice Coil sub. the sub has two sets of terminals (one for each coil) should I put one channel to each coil or bridge the amp to one channel and put a jumper from one coil to the other? or better suggestions?

Just bought a system for $40. I got two 10" Audiobahns in a sealed box, I have them wired separately right now not bridged. Its a 1400w Two Channel amp. Cant find it online right now.
They sound really good right now, but I want to see if I can get them Louder.
Ladiesman Do you think I should bridge them.
Heres the subs

in your case if your amp can handle a 1 ohm load then i would wire your pos on your subs to each other then wire the subs to the amp then do the same with the negmahifish wrote:Just bought a system for $40.

well your amp is only 2 ohm stable so that means with your subs you can only do a 4 ohm load. so pretty much wire your subs in series.. instead of me explaining this out each time im just going to give you guys a link to a site that does everything for you.. its really nice.. if you need more of an explanation just lmk and i'll help..

ok I got all set up every thing was working good sounded great! but, I turned it up a bit while I was adjusting the amp and the fuse (on the amp) blew. replaced the fuse no damage, but un hooked the main fuse (battery) and RCAs until I get this figured out.
here is the info from the Manuel's
for the amp I have a Lanzar Max Pro MXA 232
2 x 75W RMS at 4ohms
2 X 500W at Max at Ohms
1 X 1000W at 4 ohms bridged
2 x 100 W at 2 ohms
it has a 20 amp fuse
and the sub is a 12" Pioneer TS W306DVC
Nominal power 400W
Max power 1000W
Nominal impedance dual 4 ohm
it was bridged than I had hooked the sub up by hooking the wires from the terminals on the one voice coil to the others with another wire. ( I had read online that this was the better way to hook up a DVC sub)
would I be better off running 2 channels one to each voice coil?
another question I bought a Scosche Amp wiring kit with a capacitor. I didn't hook up the cap yet because I was testing out my equipment to see if it worked. should I wire this up right away or wait until I get everything else set.
any help is much appreciated

caps are useless :fyi:
well you wired them how i wouldve.. for a 2 ohm load by putting them in parallel
why your fuse blew.. idk ive never had to deal with that.. i would check out www.caraudio.com
your amp is junk too btw i hope you didnt pay to much for it!
ive heard of people putting bigger fuses in their amp.. DO NOT DO IT! keep it at what its supposed to be!

wires don't touch anywhere, I know the amp is cheap ($20 ebay) just using it until I find something good. I'll do some reading and see what I can find. if not I'll just take it easy until I get a better amp. I'm a firm believer in correct size fuses.. I spent a while rewiring a Friends car after he got sick of popping fuses and putting a incorrect one in and melted his dash wiring harness.
