personelly I would not wire that pyle with the xplod subs. Its not going to hit right and you run the chance of burning up that amp. If you don't mind me asking how much do you have to spend on an amp?

He will not burn up his amp if he does it like I said. If those Sonys are SVC 4 ohm subs and he runs them stereo with his Pyle DVC 4 ohm seriesed to 8 ohms and bridged, he will be within the rated limitations of the equipment. In another words he would not be running his amp at a steeper load then it's designed for.

does any one know if i did this right tho because that pyle isnt pushin it out like it was before. what exactly do i need to do with the dual voice coil? just run a piece of speaker wire across the back of the sub from the inner terminals to the inner terminals on the other side? And would it work better if i wired the pyle and one of the xplods in parallel and one on the xplods in parallel?? cuz i wanna get as much as i can out of that pyle

so if i have both channels going to the xplods, how am i going to bridge the pyle to the amp. I have it series but i just have a piece of speaker wire going from the pyles to one of the xplod terminals right now, but im not using them until i found out exactly how to wire this, can't afford to mess anything up. So are you saying run both channels to the xplods, then double up wires at the amp to bridge the pyle??

I believe he means to run the left positive and negative to one Xplod, the right positive and negative to the other Xplod, and then the left positive to one voice coil on the pyle, ad the right negative (or whatever way your amp works bridged) to the other voice coil on the Pyle and then one wire between the two unused terminals on the pyle voice coils.
I've never heard of anyone wiring anything up like this but I suppose it would work fine as long as you have your amp set to mono sound.

Amp L+/L- to Sony 1 +/-
Amp R+/R - to Sony 2 +/-
+ of coil 1 on pyle to - of coil 2 on pyle sub like this:
(-)(+)-------(-)(+) leaving you the (-) of coil 1 open, and the (+) of coil 2 open
Then attach the amps
L+ to the (+) of coil 2
R- to the (-) of coil 1
You will have 3 wires conneted to the L+ and R- at the amp.

SPL, i wired just like the diagram showed and the 15 wouldnt even turn on...
The only question i really had about that was the wire going from the one voice coil to the other... is that supposed to be just a single piece of wire???? going from one pos. to the other neg.???
EDIT: by the way, my buddy has a 550 watt 2 ch. bridgeable amp hes willing to sell to me for 40 bucks. he bought it (from meijers) for 100 new. I'm gunna hook it up to my truck and see how it sounds this week.
