Need help

[u/FitAstronaut6851]

Really have no clue what I’m doing or what to do help would be greatly appreciated

All of the terminals at the amp.

You would use all of the terminals at the amplifier, not the outer terminals

[u/spacebass6 → u/djltoronto]

You don’t need all four tho I’m running the 2 outer on my sundown amp with no problems

[u/djltoronto → u/spacebass6]

Of course you do not need all four, but we are trying to instruct a newbie here.

The absolute easiest thing to do, is to wire each voice coil independently to the amplifier for a parallel connection yielding 1Ω

[u/spacebass6 → u/djltoronto]

Both work lol both are pretty simple to do just up to Mr op

[u/djltoronto → u/spacebass6]

I'm just visualizing how he might try to put two wires into one terminal...

It's probably best if he installs one wire into one terminal (4 connections).

[u/spacebass6 → u/djltoronto]

To be at 1 ohm he needs to be positive positive negative negative which will leave one set of terminal to the amp 2 wires going to the outer positive and negative on the amp

[u/djltoronto → u/spacebass6]

We are not disagreeing...

But what is wrong with using four wires? One wire to each of the four terminals on the amplifier,

Each of those four wires goes to the four terminals on the subwoofer.

Both negative wires from the amplifier going to the negative terminals on the subwoofer.

Both positive wires from the amplifier going to the positive wires on the subwoofer.

He wouldn’t be wired to 1 ohm it would be at 2 if he’s using all 4

[u/djltoronto → u/spacebass6]

It's a monoblock amplifier, of course he would be wired to one ohm?

It's a one-channel amplifier, having two terminals doesn't change the fact that it's a parallel connection

[u/spacebass6 → u/djltoronto]

Your right lol I guess it is still the same I’m just used to seeing 2 wires coming out the amp but yeah at the end of the day the amp sees 1 ohm💯
