wiring sub and amp combo

Hey guys need some help on wiring up my sub and amp. I have an audiobahn aw1000q sub, specs are below: Quite simply, the High Excursion series is Audiobahns most versatile subwoofer. The non-pressed, non-transfer paper cone and PHAT 2 foam surround combine to deliver quick, distortion-free bass response. The baskets are made from ultra-stiff chrome plated cast aluminum, and even the back plate is part of a gigantic machined and chromed Bolt-Tight motor structure. Designed for an awesome combination of sound quality and power handling, the High Excursion AW1000Q features 120 oz. double-stacked Strontium magnets, a vented and extended pole piece, and a 2.5 " ASV former with dual high-temp 4 ohm voice coils. Note: If you are wiring this DVC sub for lower impedance, make sure that your amp is compatible. Most car amplifiers are stable down to 2 ohms in standard mode, or 4 ohms in bridged operation.     * dual 4-ohm voice coils     * non-pressed pulp cone     * huge foam surround     * frequency response 23-500 Hz     * power range 50-600 watts RMS (300 watts per coil)     * peak power handling 1,200 watts     * sensitivity 91.1 dB     * top-mount depth 5-1/4"     * sealed box volume: 0.4-.95 cubic feet     * ported box volume: 1.632 cubic feet The amp I have is a memphis st500d amp, specs are below: The subwoofer has 2 voice coils, connections on each side. The thing thats confusing me is that there are 4 wire terminals on each side for a total of 8. How do I wire this up with my amp for best performance without damaging either component? Thanks guys, Deep

thx for the quick reply. After browsing the audiobahn site for a while, I stumbled upon the tech tips article. Anyways, I will hook it up as you described. Thanks for again for your help.

Hooked it up, sounds good! Thanks stevdart!

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