okay any how...

i got a dual 2ohm voice coil woofer... and im running it with a fosgate 500s amp...
right now i have it hooked up in a series... (4ohms)... and i kno the 500s amp can make more power at 2ohms... but how could i wire both coils to get 2 ohms?
or if possible... can the 500s amp handle 1ohm? (parallel setup...)

how would i get the max power out of my amp using just one woofer... with dual 2 ohm coils...

 

The only way you can wire that sub is either a 4 ohm or 1 ohm load. I would not recommend connecting a 1 ohm load to that amplifier.

 

what if i ... just wired each coil to a channel.. cause its a 2 channel amp... 2ohms to this channel and 2 ohms to the other channel... what would be 2ohms x 2 .... ?

Yes you could do that but will end up with the same amount of power. Read the specs for the amp to decide what it would be. They usually always give a 2 ohm rating.

 

you won't always get the same amount of power, and you may run into cancellation between frequencies...

 

one sub...

 

get another sub

Huh He is talking about a single sub. What cancellation?

 

does it look like want want to buy another woofer?

 

Why did you raise you false floor so high? Is you spare still available? You used up the whole trunk with MDF with only 1 sub. With all that weight you can redue you whole setup and stilll have room. Take a look at my systems it can give you a idea.
What kind of car do you have?

i didnt use mdf... and i dont care about my spare... and my set up probably weighs less than yours...

 

might be lighter, but your setup probably doesnt sound as nice

 

thank q for taking out the "****" in your comment... but one sub... no crossover... stock front speakers... of course its gonna sound decent... but not the best....

So you didn't use mdf for your setup. Whatcha use plywood or particle board?


All I'm saying is that you can still have room with only 1 sub and amp. But it's your car you laosfu .

 

he was talking about running left channel to one voice coil, right channel to the other.

 

is that an HX2? if so i would just go and get the dual 4ohm sub or add another dual 2ohm sub.

You care to explain how your going to get cancelations. Left channel is the same as the right. both are in phase.
