Yeah its ok...but i don't recommend this...if given no other choice one might go for this "Jugaad"

No JB, you did not get my point. I was asking "can you think of any other rational/safe way to mate this amp and sub?"

Autophile · 5th October 2005, 12:00

What sub does he have on him ?

navin · 5th October 2005, 12:02

i dont knwo the model but the amp is a 20W / 2 channel and the sub is a 4 ohm DVC.

navin · 5th October 2005, 12:03

i'd love get vivek's take on this as well. as a DIY he might be able to think out of the box.

That amp is flea powered to handle a DVC 4 ohms subwoofer. Its better that he should use this amplifier for the speakers and buy 502 for the subwoofer.

a new amp is not an option JB.

Autophile · 5th October 2005, 12:19

Hahahhaha...i would still go by bridging the amp and wiring the sub in series.

Vivekphadnis · 5th October 2005, 12:49

Each voice coil is 4 ohm. So, why can't he wire each coil to one channel?

navin · 5th October 2005, 13:41

thanks JB. so pranil has 3 options.

How would I connecta 2 channel amp to a DVC sub......is series better or parallel.

Autophile · 6th October 2005, 12:41

What amp do you have and sub...then it will be easy for us...

If you have 2 Ch amp then bridge it and wire your 4+4 sub in series.
