Calling all Woofer/Audio Gurus.

[Seiler]

Ok. Here's the plan.

Building a new woofer box. Holding two 12's.

Specs:

Subwoofers:
Power Acoustik FUBR-12
700 watts RMS
Dual 2 ohm voice coil
1800 watts max

2-Channel Amp:
Power Acoustik LT1920/2
Bridged RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 880W x 1
1920 Max Watts

K. Old box broke...

Building new box...

Amp....

Now, on to the question. How the heck am I supposed to wire these? I use to have the positive and negative going to one terminal on the woofer itself. However, aren't I supposed to incorporate the dual voice coils and use both + , - terminals?

I went onto Rockford Fosgate and found a Woofer Wiring Wizard...

and came up with these results:

OR

Is that correct? I'm a little weary about wiring + and - together. Then again, I don't have any knowledge in this field.

Help?

after you wire it up hit it with an ohm meter and make sure you're pulling 2 ohms resistance. your speakers say dual 2 ohm so hook em up like this

just make sure your amp can handle a 2 ohm load or you'll burn it up pretty quick. it should say what load it can handle somewhere near where you hook up the speakers, or on a sticker on th eunderside next to the model/serial number

dont forget to use screws for your box. so it wont split apart again

i just read your post again...

Subwoofers:
Power Acoustik FUBR-12
700 watts RMS
Dual 2 ohm voice coil
1800 watts max

2-Channel Amp:
Power Acoustik LT1920/2
Bridged RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 880W x 1
1920 Max Watts

that amp is only 4 ohms, its not meant to handle those subs in dual 2 ohm the way that wiring diagram is set up.

setting them up like this:

should get you a 4 ohm load i believe.

someone please correct me if im wrong.

If you wire them up bridged at 2ohms they will hit much harder, but you may overstress your amp. Try it that way, and if your amp shuts off, then wire it up at 4 ohms.
