You have to understand impedance to do this. how many ohm are your 12,s`? you can run all 4 subs in mono off one amp if wired right. it works like this, lets say all 4 of your speakers are 4 ohms. if you wire 2 4 ohm speakers in a series it looks like one 8 ohm speaker to the amp. if you wire them in parallel the amp sees it as 2 ohms, ps most amps cant handle less than 2 ohms in sereo 4 in mono bridge. so no if you take one pair say the tens run them in series now take the 12 run them in series. now take and parallel both sets to amp and you have a 4 ohm load. to better understand do a google search for series parallel circuits. also you amp should be marked for bridging if not look up the amp on the manufacturers web site most will let you download the owners manual for free if in doubt about your amps ability keep it at or above 4 ohms

Is the sony xplod cdx-gt71w able to support a subwoofer without another amp

Sure is.

The sony is bridgable as follows:

  • 100W x 4 @ 4 Ohm
  • 100W x 2 + 250W x 1 @ at 4 Ohm

  • This will allow 2 channels to run 100 watts each @ 4ohms with an additional single channel with 250 watts @ 4 ohms.


    The single sub channel is created by bridging channels 3 & 4

    I dnt know how to hook my sony explode cdx gt 200 to my honda civic hatchback 94

    The Honda Civic requires a dash adaptor you need this wiring harness to install the stereo it dont seem a dash adaptor is required for the 94 model you use the cage/sleeve to install the sony in your car you will also need this removal tool and either wire nuts, heat shrink tubing, crimp caps and crimp tool or the common solder and wrap in electrical tape method to connect the wiring harness for the honda to the wiring harness for the stereo

    I Have a Sony Xplod 800 watt amp and 2 12 inch Sony Xplod subs

    You should definately bridge them. Firstly, lay the 2 speakers face down next to each other. Note the connections +- +-. The first + will go to the amplifier. The next terminal(-) will be connected to the next speaker(+). Take the last(-) and connect to amplifier. Please note that your amplifier has a bridge section which is normally the first + and the last- on the two channels. Connect your woofers on the bridge.

    I have a 1990 honda civic hatchback si with an 89 ZC DOHC black top engine.. the rear motor mount is cracked and each time i down shift the engine raddles.. how do i change out the mount? and if possible.....

    You will need something to lift the engine so that you can take the pressure off of the mount. It sounds like your fuel pump may be wearing out and it is not responding like it should...The pump on the gas tank should be located on the top of the tank....Under the back seat....

    Change the headlight assembly on a 91 honda civic si hatchback

    I don't believe you do. You may have to take several of the clips or screws out, that also help to hold the bumper cover on , but that should be it
