FATTY

I am just about to hook everything back up after I decide how I want everything layed out.

Anyways, one more time.

One wire should go from the - terminal on one side of the sub to the + terminal on the other side.

One wire should go from the + Channel 1 line to the + terminal on the sub.
One wire should go from the - Channel 2 line to the - terminal on the sub.

Right?

Also on my amp it says "Speaker Bridged" with a line going from the + on the Left Channel to the - on the right channel. So those are what I am supposed to use correct?

When I took everything apart My sub was wired up to 8 ohms but they were wired only to the + and - on Channel one. Channel 2 was for the other sub.

 

Yeah everything you said is right.

Well when you were running two subs, you could have both subs wired to two ohms on each channel, and that would have been fine. But forget about that until you get another sub.

When this sub or amp blows you should look into a new setup. A single quality sub with a nice amp will sound much better and get louder than both your subs were before. And this sub WILL eventually burn a coil, the amp may survive since your running a 8ohm load which is nice to the amp.

 

Cool, thanks again for the help!

Everything is good to go, just need to put the fuse in and its done! I'll let you know how it goes and pray for no fires!

As far as the sub, I have had it for almost 4 years and I got them used, one of which already had a blown voice coil. So so far its been a great setup to me and are you sure i'll blow this voice coil since its not getting close to its RMS?

 

Well if your under it's rated power than no it will be fine. Well I guess with that amp, your never going to hurt those subs it just doesn't make enough power. Also you have been running it at 8ohms, which really protects both your amp and sub, at the cost of inefficiency. Now if you were to hook that sub up to a real 500w amp, and blast your music everywhere you go like me, it wouldn't last too long.

 

^ True! However, this sub may be on its way out, it makes sort of a clunking sound.

So fatty, how was it wired up then? The sub was wired up to 8 ohms, but the wire went to the amp to a single channel.

Pics in a second and it is louder
