Series Wiring

I have a Dual Voice Coil 2OHM sub (It's a Kicker CVR), but i'm running into a problem with the diagrams...I want series wiring for a 4 OHM load on the amp, but how do I hook second set of wires up (The ones that don't go to the amp)....



Positive to positive and negative to negative? That won't complete the circuit though, so the voice coils won't work...hook them together with one wire? I'm guessing here!

Re: Series Wiring

hook it up just like the diagram shows. the + and - with 2ohm written between them are each a coil. the signal passes through one coil then through the other coil.

Re: Series Wiring

So Use 2 different wires (+,-) for the positive and negative? Or one wire to connect the coils?

Re: Series Wiring

Positive from the amp to positive on one coil, then negative from the coil to positive to the other coil, then negative from the other coil to the amp, just like the diagram. Series wiring is just that wired in series, you need 3 pieces of speaker wire.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
