Subwoofer Wiring Wizard, One 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker
Below are the available wiring diagrams for the speaker configuration you selected.
The resulting impedance (ohm load) is considered the "Nominal Impedance" seen by the amplifier.
Note :
One or all of the wiring options shown in this application may not be compatible with your amplifier
because of low impedance loads. Please check your amplifier owner's manual to determine
the best wiring option and verify the overall impedance load is compatible with your amplifier
before making any connections. When making any connections, observe proper polarity to prevent damage
to your amplifier and/or speaker system. *The positive (+) and negative (-) speaker terminals have been
reversed in one or more diagrams for easier readability.
One 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker
