Anyone know how to wire these dvc subs and what amplifier u recommend thanks
SOURCE: how to wire 2 dvc subs to a orion 2150sx ? dont
what impedence are the voicecoils?
Dual 4 - Dual 2 - Dual 1 ??
Orion SX / GS / HCCA amp Wiring guide:
Orange = Right Positive
Black/ Orange = Right Negative
Yellow = Left Positive
Black/ Yellow = Left Negative
Blue = 1+1
Bridging of SX or HCCA Amps:
1. Use the Orange wire for Positive.
2 Use the Black/ Yellow wire for Negative
3. Push "in" the Mono Button
That amplifier is only 4ohm mono stable - so assuming the subs are dual 4 ohm voicecoils...
First wire both in Parallel Independently So each subwoofer is now a 2 ohm load. (combine + and + - and- on both subwoofers)
Now Take a positive on one voicecoil of sub #1 and attach to amplifier+(orange)
Take a - on that same subwoofer and attach it to a + on the OTHER subwoofer.
Finally, take a - from the second woofer to the amplifier -(black/yellow)
Now you have a 4 ohm load on your bridged channels.

How did you "switch the sub from 2ohms to 4 ohms"?
If you have the swr-1222d as listed, your only options are wiring 1 or 4 ohm, as it is a dual 2 ohm voicecoil.
If it was wired @ 1 ohm - you may have already done the damage to your amplifier - as it is not rated @ 1ohm mono.
There are 3 reasons the amplifier will go into protect mode while playing...
Thermal - overheating due to too low impedence.
Ground Loop/Short Circuit - Blown voicecoil, bad amplifier ground, tinsel slap, etc.
Overload - Impedence not within specs.
Disconnect every wire (including RCAs) from the amplifier. Reconnect only power and ground - make a short wire to loop from power terminal to remote terminal.
If the amplifier stays on without turning off - remove the jumper, add the remote wire, and try again.
If it turns off - the problem is internal and needs repair.
Still on? plug in 1 rca, and re-try.... then the other.
Still going??
Now use an Ohm Meter - or Digital multimeter set to ohms 20, and check both voicecoils. They should read 2ohms +/- .5ohm.
If they are OK, wire up the 4ohm load (series the voicecoils) and turn the gain on the amplifier to 1/2.
Retry -
If the amplifier continues to fail at higher volumes - the thermal protection relay has become weakened because of your improper wiring, and will need to be repaired to solve your issue.

SOURCE: need to wire two dvc 15 in kicer l7 to 1 ohm
Hello goldy6569,
To wire the L72's at 1ohm, simply connect both +'s and -"s on each sub together. Then connect to your amp terminals.
With 2ohm DVC's, you can have either a 1ohm load or a 4ohm load. The diagrams are here (I know it's the website of a Kicker competitor, but their "wiring wizard" is simply the best).
Hope this helps.
SOURCE: how do i bridge 2-4ohm dvc's to a mono block
If you have a DVC 4ohm speaker, and you are using both voice coils, the amp is seeing a 2ohm load.
If you bridge the amp, you CAN run both subs as long as the amp is Two Ohms Stable.
Wire each subs voice coils in parallel.(Positive to positve, neg to neg.) (2ohms) each.
Then wire the two subs in series.(Neg from amp to neg of sub one, pos of sub one to neg of sub two. then pos of sub two to pos of amp.
If it sounds too hard, leave it as you are already running the amp at two ohms.
