Im about to install my sub and amp, but I ran into a small issue. Do I want to configure the sub to be 2 ohms or 8 ohms? Thanks

Try cardomain's subwoofer wiring config: http://www.cardomain.com/shop/woofer..._subs=4%20ohms

 

it depends on what your amp can handle. most likely you want to configure it for a 2ohm load if your amp can handle that

 

is your sub a dual voice coil sub and what are the resistances on the individual voice coils, that will determine which configurations you can achieve

 

Ive got what is listed in my sig, JL 500/1 and a 10W6V2 D4

Thanks..

 

The 500/1 features JL Audio's "Regulated Intelligent Power Supply". It is intended to maintain consistent, linear power output. The 500/1 is rated @ 500WRMS 1.5-4.0 ohms. I'm not sure it's rated for an 8-ohm load. You should be running the voice coils in parallel to present a 2-ohm load to the amp.

 

yea redlude97 is right...i saw on ur sig it said u have a w6v2 and a 500/1. the sub is a dual voice coil 4 ohm sub which means u wire it at 2ohms

 

Yeah, I needed to know if your VCs were D4 or D2, but to get a 2ohm resistance, wire them in parallel, which means hooking positive to positive and negative to negative, and then connecting to the amp. Easiest way to do this is the connect 2 short wires to each of the positive and negative connections, and then running the longer wire to the amp from one of the voice coils
