Wiring up dual voice coil subs
 

I have 2 Audiobahn 12's that are dual voice coil, I have a dual 12" speaker box that has only one terminal for speaker hook up. How do I wire these subs up inside the box?

Counting on you DCA and Remmy!

Depends on what amp you are running and how many ohms each voice coil is. Lemme know that and Ill tell you how to wire it up.

More then likely it will be series each sub and then parallel them to the amp.

Nice diagram. Thats pretty much how ya do it. I have more diagrams in the stickies if you wanna take a look at that.

What is the OHM specs... we dont need all of that.

thats all it tells me

hmm.. we cant really tell unless we get the ohm specs. [&o]

With 4 voice coils total, assuming they're 4 ohm, you're stuck with either a 4 ohm setup (LEVIII's diagram) or a 1 ohm setup (look in sticky for diagram), which your amps says it'll handle.

I think that everyone's asking you for the specs of your subs, not amp to make sure they're 4 ohm voice coils.

I have the 12's so I guess they are 4ohm coils

Looks to me like the amp can handle 1 ohm to so hook all the posatives to the 1 posative and all the negs to the one neg and youll be pounding at 1 ohm 800 watts.
