    wireine 3 12' pioneer premere dvc subs to 3 pioneer amps help!!!!

    ok, heres the dela, i got 3 12" pioneer premiere dvc subs at 500/1000 watts each. i also got 3 pioneer 760w amps. i was gonna run 1 amp to one sub each and turn the amps down. i was wondering what is the best way to wire the dvc subs bridged to the amp so i can get some hard hitting bass. i got a 12 sealed box

    here are the specs on the subs

    wire in the coils in series to the amp, making it 2 ohms... this is assuming it's two ohm capable with one output

    el alambre en los rollos en la serie al amp, hacerle 2 ohmios... esto asume es dos ohmio capaz con una salida

    now thats speaking spanish to you

    just search for how-to's and car audio for beginners on the net and you will find a ton of shit about how to properly hook that shit up

    ok here is the diagrams http://www.jbl.com/car/SubwooferWiri...ng_diagram.asp
    does the amp support 2Ohm load when bridged?
    according to what you gave us, it only supports 4ohms when bridged. check with your manual. don't run 2ohms in bridged mode unless your amp can support that or you will overhead and smoke it.
    about the subs, i am assuming that they are 4ohms per coil so it is dual 4ohm sub. am right?
    you can run one amp for each sub at 4 ohms load. it should hit hard enough. 125W per coil times 2 = 250 per sub. times 2 subs = 500W of pure bass. i just make sure you have gain set right or say good bye to the subs.

    Well, if you have 1 amp for each sub then just wire one coil to each channel per amp. That would be total of 250W per sub, 750W total. That would be more than enough to rattle some rust off the car. : )
    That is how I would do it. And yes, be careful not to have your gains set to high. With 3 subs at 750W, you should be able to get plenty of base without having to crank up the gain. Good luck.
    peace..

    damn thats going to sound nice... I just installed my new h/u alpine cda-7893 with a fosgate punch amp powering two 6x9's on the rear deck (in the middle of the stock 6's) and a Interfire 400x2w amp powering 2 600w pioneer IMPP 12's.... I love it... but for sure you are going to have more then enough bass... post again once you get the install done...

    It has to be done in the way explained above. Also if the subs are all in one box sharing air space it's important to adjust the gains on the amps the same.
    If you want to get more bass out of the subs go with a 'd' class amp or an amp that is capable of running 2ohms mono (bridged).

    the box has seperate chambers, well i am gonna try the wireing that is on the diagram first to see how it sound only because my sealed box only has outputs for one sub per chamber since its dvc the speaker has two different outputs and i cannot run both wires form the box chanber output, i may have to add an extra output per chamber

    that ain't spanish, it looks more like Altavista

    umm if your amp doesn't say "1 ohm stable" or lower then you should swap the DVC woofers for some single VC ones

    I don't suggest running each coil to a channel of the amplifer. If the amplifier does not put out exactly the same power on each channel. which it probably doesnt, you have a good chance of locking a speaker up. Unfortunately there is no correct way to hook up the system with what you have. The amps are not supposed to be run at 2ohm mono and the only choices you have with the subs are running them 2ohm or 8ohm depending on how you wire up the voice coils. If they are new see if you can trade them back where you got them for single voice coils. If not I would sell the three amps (Pioneer amplifiers are grossly overrated) and buy one .5 ohm stable amplifier.

    Im not downing your stuff or anything. Going with a theme is cool but Pioneers amplifiers are unfortunately not very good. They work fine but are WAY overrated. Good luck with your setup. If you want all pioneer look into getting single voice coil subs like I said earlier.
