Need wiring help

Recommended Posts

I have a Kenwood KAC-9104D amplifier and im getting 2x SPL dynamics V300d2 woofers. i want to run them @ 2 ohms. I know how to wire them 2 ohms, but which Amp terminals i have to use?

Here is amp manual: manual.kenwood.com/en_contents/attachDownload/6013

I didnt check the manual, but I think I remember it just having 2 positive and 2 negative speaker posts. so just series up each sub for a 4 ohm load per sub, then wire each sub to its own - and + at the amp and the amp parallels them itself internally for a 2 ohm load.

or you could just wire the subs series-parallel in the box and just run one length of speaker wire from the box to the amp and just choose what - and + to run because it doesnt matter either way.

x2, check out www.the12volt.com for both of the wiring diagrams he mentioned if still confused.

Its real simple, if you wire each sub to four ohms and then together at 2ohms before they go to the amplifier (then you have 2 wires, one positive and one negative that go to one positive terminial and one negative terminal on the amp). If you wire each sub to four ohms and let the amp do the dropping down of the ohm load then their will be four wires (two positive and two negative, each wire goes in its on terminal). Hope this helps.
