I cant hear bass in my little 8 inch sub when. I have hooked up my jensen 340 watt.

Yes they information available on them they are still around. You will need a class-D 300 watt RMS amp to run them at perfect power if i remember right they are 150 watt RMS,, 450 watt max per sub.// just never mind the max it means nothing. They are a 4 ohm sub i believe so you would want to get a 1 ohm stable amp. two 4 ohm subs can be run at 1 ohm wired in series. they are actually made by audio vox corp.to wire them is easy ill give a link to do so easy to use. and handy. let me look for some info on your sub...? Yes there is info out there here is another link. Need additional help give a shout.

1st have your subs facing inwards towards the front of the car, not facing out the boot, This creates a better bass.

Wire 1 sub to one channel and the other sub to the other channel.

Turn down your gain as low as possible and then power everything up.

turn volume to desired loudness and then start turning up the gain slowly, if distorts a little turn in back down a notch.

avoid using bass boost, I agree it sounds great but it puts more strain on your amp and shortens its life.

after sorting out your gain, tweak all others until sound is bassy and clear with no distortion.

If you would like to use bass boost, turn on bass boost first, then up your gain etc.

Connecting the two voice coils of each driver in series (+ to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.)

Yes, technically you can, however you will be putting both your sub and your amp at risk. One of the worst things you can do to a sub is underpower it. The easiest way to explain it is n ot giving enough power to the sub leaves it starving for power. The motor structure ends up working too hard to try and move the cone properly and what happens is the sub will usually seize up rather than blowing out in the term you usually hear (ie, I had my system cranked up and I blew my subwoofer).

Secondly, in an attempt to get any real sound out of the under powered sub, you'll probably end up cranking the gain and bass boost on the amp which ends up overworking the amplifier quite a bit and can in turn lead to fried out amp chips, burnt up circuit boards etc.

Thirdly, by maxing the gain bass boost you're going to end sending a lot of distortion through your subwoofer in an attempt to get some decent bass. Distortion kills both subwoofers and speakers alike.

So to answer your question, yes you can hook up your subwoofer to that amp and yes, it will probably play for a while but I wouldn't recommend it. Look for a class d or mono block amp to push your sub as these will give you the most power and best heat dissipation. They are designed to push subwoofers specifically and you will get better sound and longer life out of your equipment. A good rule of thumb is look for an amp within 100-150 watts of both your RMS power handling and your Peak power. Remember, when it doubt, always go a little bigger on the amp side of the spectrum. It's easy to "tune down" an amp by having the gain and bass boost at a lower level (50%, 25% etc), than to turn 'em all the way up just to get some bass and end up prematurely blowing out your sub, amp or even worse, both.

the XS1010 sub has an RMS value of 150 Watts and a 450 peak.

AP hasn't released the RMS values on the vs2044

they are so many ways to run a dvc sub, let me know what ohms the coils are, and i will give you the ultimate bass that will hurt your hearing.

this is caused by inproper wiring from the speakers/subs to the amplifier.. an amp will still put out power to subs and speakers when it's wired improperly but it won't last for very long doing it... 6 months is longer than usual....

MAKE SURE UR GROUND WIRE IS TIGHT, AND MAKE SURE UR RCAS ARNT NEXT TO THE POWER WIRE.

you are probably mising to power on the factory amp from the vehicle

Hi Trim God,

 

I do not reccommend that you push the Pioneer speakers over 100 watts.  The jenson will already drown the car with bass through your pioneers so much you will want to turn off the bass boost when playing some low bass hip hop songs. It changes from one venue of song to another, so I just keep the jenson bass boost off and use my head unit to adjsut the sound to fit my listening prefences. I am telling you man, you will be blown away .  Hook up the pioneers straight to the Channels,. do not bridge.  I put Subs in my truck though.  I used the Pass output to send the audio to me Jenson 2 Channel 600W amp. I drive one 10 inch enclosed JBL Class A/B Sub. I bridged the output of the 600 W amp to the 10 inch sub  in my Z28.  The pioneers never get drowned out.  I did smoke my 2 channel Amp one time. and also took out a MTD 10inch sub. I am talk shooting flames and smoked the whole car up. I think if you bride the XA4150 to the pioneers, you will have the flaming smoke problem in no time.
