is this the right configuration to achieve a 1 ohm load?

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.

My MTX TA81001 has 2 terminals like that and thats how it says to hook it up.

its moved, sorry mods.

back to topic.

if it's internally bridged, this will be more simple. and the amp will see a 1 ohm load?

wire it whichever way is easier. it's all the same in the end.
