GiAnT4LYFE Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Ok guys, let me preface this by saying I was always told that there is no such thing as a dumb question. I have the DC 2k amp and bought my 2 Level 4 12's which are dual 1ohm voice coils. On the amp there are 2 neg outputs next to each other and 2 pos outputs next to each other. When I went to the12volt.com, it shows me how to wire these subs down to 1ohm using only 1+ and 1- output. That has left me confused on how to wire these subs down to 1ohm. The box is built and has 2 sets of terminals on it. Hopefully I've given you enough info to help my dumbass out. If you need a pic of the DC 2k outputs, just let me know. Please help me figure out how to wire these up correctly. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 the speaker outputs are the same channel internally. they add the second terminal set for ease of wiring. you can wire them up just fine using one side.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) if you have 1 set of speaker wires coming from the box to the amp, just use 1 pos and 1 neg.. they have 2 speaker terminals for more wire, so if you wanted to run another pos and neg from the speaker box, from the same spot *saying you had the subs wired inside, and bolts on the box for the wiring* you can run 2 pos and 2 neg, its just for more flow thats all' 1 pos and 1 neg is fine though Edited August 18, 2011 by Team_DC-Derrick Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

jmilch Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 They are internally combined. For that amp, you won't see any real gain in using 2 sets of wires. I would wire it with a single set going to the terminals.

ChevyBoy95 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 the speaker outputs are the same channel internally. they add the second terminal set for ease of wiring. you can wire them up just fine using one side. x2, its so you dont have to jam 2 8ga into 1 8ga hole depending on how you wire the subs.
