I was wondering if anyone could give me some assistance with my system. i have 2 Audiobahn AW1205Q Subwoofers. i'm trying to get the most power out of my amp as possible. the amp i have is a Kenwood KAC-8104d. But no one is familiar with the subwoofer due to each sub having 8 terminals. Thats right 8. can someone please let me know how to get these set up the best way possible
What you have is known as a Quad voice coil woofer, that's right it has 4 voice coils. You need to determine the impedance of the coils so we can help you. We will also know the minimum impedance load your amp can handle.
Ok i already have that info for you: the Amp is the info on top and subs below

According to the specs you posted on the woofer, it is a dual voice coil woofer. There should be only 4 connections on such a woofer. How many tinsel wires are there that go from the connectors to the cone of the woofer? Are there 4 terminals that do not have a wire coming from them?
If you do determine that there are only 2 voice coils per woofer, follow the below diagram to connect them to your amplifier.
Option 2 (series/parallel) = 2 ohm load
Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono |

Yes there are only 2 wires coming from the 4 teriminals on each side. so how do i know which terminals to use or due it matter
