July 19, 200817 yr i dont own a sundown 1500d but if they use 2 + and - speaker terminals, then they are internally bridged together basically for the sake of easier wiring capabilities.So... if this is true, if u are trying to hookup just 1 dual 2 ohm sub to your amp, you would run each wire to each terminal...So on your sub, the + and - of one side would wire to the + and - on the amp and the + and - of the other side of the sub would run to other set of + and - to the amp.While you do not absolutely need to use all terminals on the amp, if you do not, the resistance must already be 1 ohm once connected to the amp. Otherwise, you run each coil to the amp which is 2 ohms per side, but internally bridged parallels it down to 1 ohm.
July 19, 200817 yr is this the right configuration to achieve a 1 ohm load?My MTX TA81001 has 2 terminals like that and thats how it says to hook it up.

July 19, 200817 yr nice pic.... I wish I was better at that stuff.... took me like 6 tries to make a diagram for a friend
