Disconnect the subs amp from the driver. Run wires directly from the driver to whatever amp is now powering it. If the drivers impedance isn't too low, that should work.
What won't usually work is a one or two ohm car woofer on a home stereo/ theatre setup. The impedance is too low.
a bit vague ?
I am assuming you are trying to connect a sub wooofer and a normal speaker of some kind. A sub woofer works for low frequencies so you may need a crossover to pass low frequencies to the subwoofer and other frequencies to the normal speakers.
The other reason may be the impedance of the two speakers being wired together may make the total impedance out of the normal impedance level of the amplifier.
HelloCheck the output impedence [indicated in OHms]]. You can get it from its manual. If it is designated as; 8OHms for example; you can connect one 8OHMs speaker direltly, or two 4 OHMs speakers in serieal connection. Likeways, if the output impedence is 6OHms, you can connect one 6OHms speaker direltely, or 2 12OHMs speakers in parellel. Just see, when we connect thow speakers in serieal, the impedence will be the sum of both speaker impedences. if we connect the same in parellel, the impedence will get halved. OK.
Your receiver delivers an unchanged power through its single line out jack. Therefore, if you use a Y cable to connect 2 speakers to that jack, the only thing you will get is to divide the power between the two speakers. Besides, I would not recommend this trick, as the nominal impedance would be strongly mismatched, putting in risk your system. The best solutuion seems to connect an extra amplifier to your receiver line out, and then connect extra speakers to that amplifier.
within the sub amplifier is an electronic amplifier, that is shorted and blown a fuse. This is all internal. If you can dismantle this module, I suggest do so and any electrical/electronic individual will identify the part needed. you could also check on a replacement module-complete.
He agreed to that there was a mismatch as the unit has plenty of fresh air around it, plus all the speaker cables have been tested and installed correctly.
So, off to the store where I got it from tomorrow.
Without looking up the individual specs of your speaker and amp, I'll offer a few basics when it comes to bridging an amp.
Most important...find out what impedance (ohm) that your amp can handle bridged!! If you go below this rating, you will run the risk and most likely eventually overheat and short circuit the amp. You must also know the impedance of your sub (which can come in a variety) to be able to match them. Depending on this impedance match-up, it may be less beneficial to bridge the speaker to this amp. For example if there is an impedance mismatch you'll either get less power from the amp or short circuit the amp. If you know these I can help you come up with the best solution.
If you know bridging is the best option, then you'll have to know which terminals on the amp to use in order to bridge. This is how it normally works. On a 2 channel amp...you would normally take the positive from one channel to the positive on the speaker, and the negative from the OTHER channel to the negative on the speaker...and this is how you bridge the amp. The other two channels would remain UNCONNECTED. BUT!!! you have to make sure you use the correct 2 channels...it varies from manufacturer. But take heed not overload the amp...and not to overpower the sub. There are a few different ways that you can configure the subs if you find it beneficial to bridge your amp, these would take long to explain and would depend on the impedance of your subs and specs of your amp...these wiring configurations is how you match the impedance of the speakers input to the amps output (and is very important to do correctly) Look up "parallel and series" wiring configurations. Let me know if this helps, or if you need further help. Find out the impedance of your subs and the specs of your amp and i'll be able to assist you more. Hope this helps.
just connect your subwoofer mono RCA to your amp sub single out rca connector. you do not need to megre all those 4terminals into one. in fact internal circuit of those 4rca are merging inside to one since the sub uses only a single amp. 4inputs was meant for sources with multiple sub out
