If they are DVC subs, the pos and neg terminals with the dot are one coil, and the pair of terminals without the dots are your second coil. with a sub that has dual 4 ohm coils, you'll end up with a single 2 ohm, or single 8 ohm load after wiring the coils in parallel, or series respectively. do you have one sub or two, and is the amplifier a mono amp or two channel? how low of a load does it support? 2 ohms (stereo)? |

I have four DVC 4-ohm Audiofonic (ADF-272; 600rms/1200peak) 12 inch woofers, an Autotek MX-1500 amplifier, and a problem wiring them. How in the heck do I wire these speakers? The Autotek MX-1500 is 1ohm stable |

Silver Member Username: Iowahawks19Post Number: 272 Registered: Jun-05 | well i have 2 dvc subs and according to RF wiring wizard i would either have a 1ohm load or a 4ohm load, so im getting a mtx942.2(which is 940w@14.4/700w@12v) wired in a 4ohm load * 235 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms * 470 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms * 940 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 * stereo or bridged mono output * 4-ohm stable in bridged mode * Tri-Way capable * requires 4-gauge power and ground leads plus a 150-amp fuse and fuse holder - wiring and hardware not included with amplifier * PWM MOSFET switching power supply * Intelligent Surface Mount Technology for cleaner sound and greater reliability * variable (40-200 Hz) high-pass/low-pass crossovers (12 dB/octave in high-pass mode, 24 dB/octave in low-pass mode) * ThunderEQ Bass Enhancement (0-18 dB bass boost at 40 Hz) * preamp outputs * 17-13/16"W x 2-1/8"H x 9-3/4"D so will 2 DVC 4ohm subs make the 4ohm load i need? and how do i wire it |

Silver Member Username: Iowahawks19Post Number: 300 Registered: Jun-05 | thanks bryn, Glass just knocked me off course when he said 2ohm load or 8ohm load but i THINK he was talking about just 1 dvc sub, so i'll take RF wiring wizards word for it and wire my subs like that Thanks for the help guys |
