For example if the woofer says single 4 ohm voice coil you would select 4 ohm in the wiring tool. Step 1 choose the of subwoofers you will wire in your system from one amplifier output.
Dual Voice Coil Dvc Wiring Tutorial Jl Audio Help Center
Sub wiring diagram 1 ohm. They show a typical single channel wiring scheme. And a 4 ohm load like this diagram. Note that system 1 shows using a 2 ohm capable amplifier. Below are the available wiring diagrams for the speaker configuration you selected. The results will display the correct subwoofer wiring diagram and impedance load to help find a compatible amplifier. Determine what amplifier to use with your subwoofer system.
4 ohm mono is equivalent to 2 ohm stereo. Select your woofer quantity and woofer impedance to see available wiring configurations. Welcome to the ct sounds subwoofer wiring wizard. Please check your amplifier. If it says dual 2 ohm voice coil you would select 2 ohm from the list even if you are using multiple woofers. Two dual voice coil speakers in series parallel.
Step 2 specify 2 or 4 ohm single voice coil or 2 or 4 ohm dual voice coil subwoofers the subwoofer wiring diagram tool will then display two wiring options with the final impedance at the amplifier. Our subwoofer wiring calculator allows you to figure out how to wire your dual 1 ohm dual 2 ohm and dual 4 ohm subwoofers in several different qualities. Single voice coil wiring options. Remember each of your woofers impedance need to be the same. The resulting impedance ohm load is considered the nominal impedance seen by the amplifier. If you wire 2 speakers and the tweeters at the same time it will end up with less than 2 ohms total speaker load which isnt ok.
Personally i would recommend sticking with 1 speaker 1 tweeter or 2 speakers instead unless you use 2 way crossovers. Subwoofer wiring diagrams for 1 ohm 2 ohm 4 ohm and 6 ohm dual voice coil subwoofers and for 4 ohm and 8 ohm single voice coil subwoofers. Steve you should never assume how a sub is wired false assumptions can be dangerous you need to verify it by visually examining the wiring.
