minilith install clarifications please , I am a little confused

Recommended Posts

looking at this in my head....I have 2 rca outputs for sub off deck....so do I need to run "Y" splitters off them into inputs 1-4 ? I think that is how I am supposed to do it. cant see what else there would be to do.

I got the rca part figured out. I ran a Y splitter from my left /right sub rca to the mono input of the amp...

but now I am confused about the response on wiring the sub. its a dual 2 ohm sub

here is what he told me. first part makes sense ...2nd part doesnt...

I have the sub wired for a 4ohm load now and its wired bridged at the amp...the amp has 2 sets of terminals for dual coils or 2 subs..

Dear Michael,

The dual 2 ohm coils can be wired in series = 4 ohm and

connected to the amplifier (200w of power) OR you can parallel

the coils for 2 ohm and again connect to the amplifier (400w)

The manual can be downloaded on our website

Might be internally bridged.

thats what I was trying to find out but he finally replied and said he made a mistake and that it couldnt be wired to 2 ohms.

He has too many amps floating around in his head. :)
