RickyFriery97 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42 Wire down to 1 ohm Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipsy06 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 So this set up will be able to work at a 1 ohm load??? Again Im new to this. There are four terminals on each side of both speakers. Do I run the speaker wire to on the outside terminal on positive and negative???

Nipsy06 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) One more Question... On the amp it also has 2 positive and 2 negative terminals.... Im guessing that it matters where the positive and negative cable go. Edited May 22, 2012 by Nipsy06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMac18 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Your subs are dual voice coil, so use both sets of terminals on the subs. As for your options for wiring, look here it has both options for 1ohm and 4ohm shown: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42#results Also according to the specs on the amp it should be 1ohm stable.
