How do you wire sub speakers to change omes - Kenwood KSC-WA82RC Car Subwoofer

YOU CANT SWAP OUT WIRES, WONT MAKE THEM SOUND BETTER, GET BETTER SPEAKERS, WITH THE SAME OME RATING.

Check your subs impedance to establish speaker is working ,Check crutch field advisors website for sub box construction and detailed wiring instructions.

what happened just prior to the sub failure? Have you tried a continuity test across the sub speaker coil?

Hi, It could be that you have the wrong omes 4 omes instead of 8. That means the amp has to put out more power to run those speakers. Check that you have the right omes. Good luck

hi,
if ur amplifier have a pre out, then u can connect that to ur L/R input of ur sub woofer.

if not the only way is, connect ur amplifiers speaker output to sub woofers speaker input and then connect ur speaker to sub woofer speaker output terminal. remember don't inter change positive and negative wires.

if ur amplifier have speaker A,B connection then it is very easy. connect the speaker A to ur left and right speaker. then connect speaker B to ur sub woofer's left and right speaker input. be sure to make that speaker A and B switch is in on position. the power on both and check it. ( use good quality speaker cable to connect the sub woofer)

your sub woofer is designed to work , both at low level and high level input.
ok

henrylshelt,
Your sub should turn on into standby mode when plugged into AC power without being attached to the receiver. If it does not follow the list below. If it does, the sub needs a signal from your receiver via either by line-level (RCA) or the speaker wires to turn on out of standby. Ensure that the cable or wires going to your sub is in fact sending a signal while the receiver is on. To Test, (speaker wires) hook up a different known working speaker; (line-level) Some receivers have a menu option to turn the LFE output on and off, ensure that it is on and producing a signal.

Diagnose the problem:
1) Remove all wiring to/from the unit except for the AC plug (use a different known working AC outlet), will it turn on? If so the other outlet is not working.
2) Remove the woofer, does the amp have a fuse that need to be changed? Change the fuse. If it blows again after replacing and turning back on, the speaker is blown; go to #4.
3) Unplug the woofer from the amp, does it turn on? If so, go to #4.
4) The sub need to be serviced. http://www.jbl.com/EN-US/Support/Pages/SupportOverView.aspx

-Hope this helps, Chris.

i guess ur talking about four nos of  4ohms 10" speakers. two speakers of four ohms connected in series gives 8 ohms, but if u use parallel connection u will get half of individual ohms i.e 2 ohms. so connect two speakers in series and another two speakers in series. parallel the two serial speakers and voila... u get a 4ohms speaker with double the wattage.
parallel connection - connect +ve to +ve and -ve to -ve.
series connection - connect -ve of one speaker to +ve of another speaker so that u have +ve input to one speaker and ground(-ve) on the second speaker.
So, two separate series speaker then parallel the two series speakers.

You just need to connect a 1.5 volt battery to each speaker wires (disconected from amp) plus to plus etc. for a split second. The speaker should pop, if working.
Though I must say it sounds like the amp that's faulty, not the speakers, from what you say.

You can y out from the main out to the sub.This output is post volume control. set level on sub to desired balance of lows feq to highs

Get a powered sub-woofer that has speaker level inputs, then run your front speaker wires into the sub-woofers speaker level input and then run a set of speaker wires from the sub-woofers speaker wire output to your front speakers. This is a common way to use a sub-woofer with a receiver that doesn't have a sub-woofer output.

Most powered sub-woofers have these connections, just check it out first before you buy one. They look like speaker jacks on the back of the receiver.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
