Audiobahn install Help!!

[MaryR27]

I just bought two new Audiobahn 12"s to replace two old ones I have in my box. My question is there are eight connections on each speaker, four on each side. Do all of these have to be used? Or just two per voice coil?

Also can anyone tell me how I would wire these two speaker together on one channel to push/pull against each other?

The stupid diagrams in the book tell me nothing, please help!

No they are dual voice coil I think they just add the extra connections for easy of installing and crossover, but all it's done is confuse me.

ok, I think I know what you are talking about. On opposite sides of sub, there are two gold wires that come up from the cone - and where each gold wire connects to the little black plactice piece on the woofer basket, there are two connector spades. The answer is, no - you do not have to hook up all of them up. Generally, you connect the ones sticking out sideways to the ones on the other side that are sticking out sideways .... "+" to "+" and "-" to "-" , then connect the amp wires to just one set of the ones sticking straight up. This will make the sub voice coils in parallel.

Push pull ?? you mean isobarik ?

each coil has 2 positives and 2 negatives, they do this so you don't have to jam both wires in the same hole....just treat the negatives and positives on each side as the same place becasue they go to they same place its basically like a Y splitter.
