wiring for 4 subs?
 

I currently have two 12in MTX subs and I was wondering how i could wire two more subs. Will i need to get another amp or a different amp. please help. THANKS

RE: wiring for 4 subs?
 

yeah you'd pretty much need another amp. The two amps will need to be connected to one another too so the sound will get to the new amp.subs.

Yeah you will most def. want to hook your two ampstogether and I hate to say this but, to achieve the best sound possiable you should probably buy two new amps of the same brand and model that way you have a better chance of them being for lack of a better term "In Sync"

I'm lost by your comment how else would you hook it up?

im guessing he is saying dont forget to get an amp wiring kit that is made to handle2 amps.

he he he ... this is what i ment ... soooooorrry [:o]

RE: wiring for 4 subs?
 

a gauge 4 power amp wiring can handle two amps. may I ask what amp are you using? Is it a mono amp?

RE: wiring for 4 subs?
 

sorry you just confused me. but if your talking to me, then yeah its better off using 4 ga wires as is keep a more constan flow of currents. the amp im using is a 2 channel bridgable amp (Fosgate P5002).

and camry313, no problem. just looking out for my felllow camry owners. :)

I'm not sure what you're pushin' but you may wanna get a capacitor and/or a larger alt. Just an idea depending on what you have in mind. Good luck though!

dont get a cap

crap>capacitors...get a BIG3 and a HO alt

Also you would want to get a fused distabution block so that you can split your main power wire into two smaller ones. I dont knwo that I would use 4 GA wire though I would probably go with 2 Gauge or maybe 0 depending on how much power you want.

RE: wiring for 4 subs?
 

(from battery) 2 gauge wire divided by a distribution block into two 4 gauge wire. then installed to your 2 amps. is enough.

You said u have 2 MTX subs? What are the specs on them such as what is their RMS/Max and are they SVC or DVC? Are they 2ohm or 4 ohm? What is your original amp that you are using? And just to let you know the gauge of the wire going to the amp 4 guage doesnt always mean that it will handle 2 amps.... Also if u are going to have 2 different amps running it s going to be a big problem to make sure u get both amps in the same phase as well as setting the level/gain.

If you are using 2 amps i would definitely use a distro block and run a 0 gauge to the distro from the battery and then split it off to 4 gauge if the power demand is less than 800w... some say 600w is the limit on 4 gauge but really it is determined by its lenth and material.

Do not get a Cap ever! Best option is to upgrade your Wires to the chassis from the battery and Power wire... Also fuse the wire. If you can get a HO alt if u want to.

My personal opinion... Dont do 4 subs... Get a really nice 15" sub and build a nice ported box to specs and juice it with anywhere from 1kw to 2kw on 1 mono block amp... First off if you plan to compete this will keep you in street B and second who the hell needs 4 subs in a trunk if its a daily driver... most likely its going to sound like crap... Sorry if im being to personal about it, but you could do better given the current situation
