I just got two Audiobahn AW1006Q subs and a A2150 amp and need to know how to get these thinds wired up.  They are dual voice coil and have to sets - and + for each coil.  Any help would be appreciated. 

thanks in advance

I did a search for the specks on the amp & got no results. Could you post the specks on both the amp & subs so we can help you.

It looks like from thier site that the amp is 1 ohm stable but Im not seeing those subs on thier web site. All I need to know is how many ohms those subs are rated for and them I (or we) can help you wire those correctly. Check and make sure you gave the correct model number from the subs. Are they an older model maybe?

Your subs have two sets of binding posts for an installation like yours where you are 1) connecting voice coils, and 2) connecting subs.  The idea is that you don't have to use the same binding post for two wires, but in some cases you will as you see below.  Not all the posts will be used.

You have a 1 ohm stable amp as I noted from the post above.  The subs are DVC 4 ohm, so each sub's coils will be wired in parallel.  Use any one of the + and - on each coil to the same polarity on the second coil.  Do that for each sub.  Then the two subs are wired together in parallel for a total sum of 1 ohm, and again, use any post from sub one to sub two,  one + and one -.  Connect one + and one - to the amp, using any one + and one - on the amp.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

There we go...........no post is used for two wires.  I should've got that on the first post.  As you can see, any positive from sub one to sub two.....same with negative.

ok  Stevdart , your a good teacher............tell me one more thing please.......if these subs are DVCs(as in dual voice coils) why does each sub have 4 sets of terminal post. I see how you show it to be wired but dont understand the 4 terminals instead of 2 sets of pos. & neg.?
