Help with sub wiring and ohm loads. Also, anyone have a 12" Kicker Comp for sale?
Hey everyone.
I just received a new sub box for two 12" subs (Previously I was using just a single 12") I have one 12" Kicker comp sub (4 ohm), and two really old 12" RF Punches (both 8 ohm and I'm not sure if they are DVC's or not). I prefer to use Kicker subs for this box. It's a sealed box by the way. Not sure how the RF punches sound in it. My question: If I got an 8-ohm Kicker sub,and ran it with my current 4-ohm Kicker sub, parallel bridged to my amp (a Lightning Audio S4.600 4-channel) would that be a 3 ohm mono load? I'd really rather have a 4 ohm mono load but my kicker sub is a 4 ohm sub, so I believe another 4 ohm sub would be a 2 ohm mono load on the amp. I wonder if a 3 ohm mono load would be alright for this particular amp. Also, anyone happen to have a 12" Kicker comp C12 sub for sale? Any help would be greatly appreciated. You may email me at Thanks in advance |

This also means that twice the power will be going to the 4 ohm sub in relationship to the 8 ohm sub. |

you are better off getting another 4 ohm. Check out jl audios website. They have wiring info and what the total ohms equal in different combos. You can hook up two 4 ohms dvc and end up with 4 ohms still.
