Hey all. A simple question (I hope).. I'm wiring:
2x Pioneer 2ohm DVC subwoofers, coils in series for a 4ohm load for each subwoofer.
into a 9103d Kenwood Class D amplifier. I'm looking to put the two subs wired in parallel together so that there's a total load of 2ohm going on the amp.
My question is that when I've done this, I'll have two wires that need to be attached to the amp: one going from the amp to the +'s, and one going from the -'s to the amp.
My amplifier has two sets of terminals, "+ + - -". Which ones do my two cables go into?! Again, I'm looking for a 2ohm load on my amp.
Thanks! |

mmm.. Thanks for the link. I'm wiring them into the 2ohm config (2nd diagram).. But I don't know how to connect the cables to the amp, where in the diagram has + and - where the amp would be. |

To build on that, I mean that I will have only 2 wires, but 4 terminals on the amp. Which 2 should I use? Or do I somehow use 4 wires? |

it doesn't matter which (-) and which (+) you use. Just make sure the (-) wire goes to a (-) terminal and the (+) wire to a (+) terminal.
Think of it as just one speaker output, but two places to connect wires (since that's what it is). |
