Audiopipe amp 1000w on 2 8" double ended bazooka

if this is for residential, then you probably don't have the space or amps available in your breaker panel to use one of these. you will need to call an electrician to replace your panel.

a side note... these are VERY expensive to opperate. I wouldn't use an electric tankless unless you have no other choice. Use a tank style electric unit, much much less to opperate

To allow two speakers to be connected in parallel. However, this should only be accomplished by a technician as it can easily overload an amplifier. When two 8 ohm speakers are connected this way, they are seen as a 4 ohm speaker by the amp and if the amp is not rated for that impedence, then it will overload it.

best way is to just run the volfenhag with a set of wires for 2 channells(one set per coil) left and right @ 4 ohms per channell. The CVRs you can parallel the coils(2 ohms) and run a set from each sub to the amp in stereo left and right. This will give the kickers a little more juice than the 12 but should be fine.

IF ITS A POWERED SUB,,JUST USE RCA JACKS TO THE SUB TO THE RECIEVER VIA THE PLUG THAT SAYS SUB

when bridgeing an amplifier it always sees half of whatever load you have on it, so if you have a 4ohm speaker when it is bridged the amp will see 2ohms, so yes you can bridge the 4 ohm speaker

A 2 ohm stable amp should be able to be bridged to 1 ohm (consult owner's manual for bridgability), but a 4 ohm speaker is a 4 ohm speaker and would need to be parallelled with another 4 ohm speaker to provide a 2 ohm load.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_aad3edb7dfa380b9

you can only bridge it if your amp is made for it......the only other way is to have another of the same amp.......tell me what you come up with

It sounded like you checked, but I had to ask.

Lets see if the Bazooka is the problem:
If you have two other speakers around somewhere, you could try hooking them up (one to a channel, un-bridged). Start with the gain at it's lowest and slowly increase it.

If they work, good news. If not, we've isolated the problem to the Amp.

Your Bazooka: Is it a double or single speaker?

Some tubular models don't allow easy access to the back of the speaker to find out the impedance rating.

Speakers rated at 4 Ohms or less wired parallel on bridged connection will trigger the Amps self protection mode.

This test should tell you if it's too low.

Try your bazooka on a single channel (instead of the bridge).

Start with the gain at it's lowest and slowly increase it.

Try these and get back to me.

Good luck

The easiest way to think of wiring voice coils and subs is this:

• Two items of the same impedance in parallel = Half of the impedance
• 4 ohms in parallel with 4 ohms = 2 ohms
• 8 ohms in parallel with 8 ohms = 4 ohms
• Two items of the same impedance in series = Double the impedance
• 4 ohms in series with 4 ohms = 8 ohms
• 8 ohms in series with 8 ohms = 16 ohms

In this case, you want to wire two subs, each with dual 4 ohms voice coils, so that the total equals 2 ohms. Your options are:

• DVCs in parallel, 2 subs in series = 4 ohms
• DVCs in series, 2 subs in parallel = 4 ohms
• DVCs in parallel, 1 sub = 2 ohms

With two, dual 4 ohm subs, you can only have 1 ohm or 4 ohm total impedance.

While I don't have any first-hand experience with either Bazooka amps or Memphis subs, this review pretty much says what I initial thoughts were. The amp will do the job without much fuss, so it mainly depends on whether you can get it for a good price.
BUT........
There could be a issue with your sub. According to Memphis, your sub (assuming it's the single voice coil version) is only good for about 250W RMS (let's ignore peak power for now). The ELA500.1, on the other hand, puts out 375W RMS at 4 ohms. You could very easily overpower your sub with that amp.
