ok heres the deal i Have 2 audiobahn awis15" quad coil woofers {2000 rms 4000 max each} and 1 earthquake d3  amp{3000 watts at 1 ohm, 5-6000 watts at .5 ohm } i need to know how to make jumper wires stick together and exatly how to make them i dont know what to  do solder the wires, make two wire fit into one terminal but wouldi have to use smaller wire or can i use wire that can handle5000 watts and doubdle it up in the terminal i gave 4 - .4+ on just one woofer i know how to wire them in parallel but im notr sure about jumper wires at all any info is good info i hase spring loaded terminals [:errr:]

since you have the two qvc you will only be able to run the amp at 1 ohm, what guage wire are you planning to use for speaker wire?

i talked to audiobahn and they said 10 guage wire should be good i need it to hold bout 3000 watts max.  WHY can i ONLY runi the amp  at 1 ohm?? each voice coil is 3" 2 ohms if you want more stats on my woofers go to http://www.audiobahninc.com look up the immotal series awis 15 is quad coil,  awisd is dual vc   i would really like to know why just one ohm??? doesnt make sense

you can get each sub down 0.5 ohm there fore you can only run the amp at 1ohm if you want to take the risks you can run your ap at 0.25ohms.

if you run all four coils in parallel on both subs, to get a 0.5 ohm load,  then run the two subs in series you can get a 1ohm load, also if you run pairs of the coils in parallel than the two pairs in series, to get a 2ohm load you can then run the subs in parallel to get your 1ohm load.

oh i thought it was about the "jumper cables"? the reason is because you have 8 2ohm voice coils, you can look on any page and i really dont think you will find a way to wire them in .5ohm with just the two subs.
