Subwoofer wiring...(Quick question)
Subwoofer wiring...(Quick question)
I am installing two Kicker Comp VR dual 4 ohm 12" subs in my neighbors car tomorrow and I want to be sure I wired them correctly. I am trying to achieve a 4 ohm load to the amp. This is a chart of what I'm trying to do:
2 DVC drivers with Voice Coils in Series / Parallel
Connecting the two voice coils of each driver in series (+ to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.) will result in the following impedances:
Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 6 Ohms
Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 4 Ohms
Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 2 Ohms

This is a pic of the actual sub wiring. I assume the pole connectors with the white dots represent one voice coil? That is the part that confuses me. Is the picture wired correctly so far? To finish the wiring would I need to connect the two remaining positives together and the two remaining negatives together?

wiring subwoofers
to get 4 ohms load, you have to wiring each speaker to be 2 ohms(use jumper wire hook both + sides together, then - sides together) on each speaker. Instead of 4 wires coming from each speaker you should have 2 by wiring in parallel. Then you hook the 2 wires from each speaker in a series configuration. Join the + wire on one woofer to the - wire on the second woofer, then the remaining +and- wires to the amp. That will get you 4 ohms load.
