RealTime Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 I will be finally installing my Audioque 3500.1D in my vehicle. I will be wiring three dual 2 ohm subs into it. The amp will see close to a 1 ohm load (1.33 ohms before amp rise). All the subs will be wired and at the end of the run there will be a one positive and one negative 10 gauge wire going to the amp. My question is how would I wire the speaker wire to the amp? Will I just wire the positive lead from the subs into both of the positive inputs on the amp and then wire the negative lead from the subs to both of the negative inputs on the amp? thx
08tahoe Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 No, you don't have to use both positive and both negatives on the amp. The 2 + and 2 - are just for easier wiring and inside the amp they become one.
RealTime Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Posted August 24, 2012 So I can just wire to one positive and one negative, right? Thanks
Ambassador of Bass Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Yup exactly what youngsticky said +1 You can do one neg and one pos lead to the amp... like for example if this is your amp speaker ouputs (-)(-) (+)(+) then wire like this (your - from subs)(-) (+)(your + from subs) hope that makes sense...thats how i always do it Audi A6 Quattro Wangin' Wagon Pioneer Premier DEH-P5901B Headunit w/ IPOD control American Bass SQ5.25 in the Doors Compression Drivers and Horns under Dash 2 American Bass SQ475's for Mids/Highs4 American Bass HD 15's American Bass 500.1 17cuft 3/4" Double Baffle Birch Enclosure 240sqin port @38hz1/0 AWG Stinger big 3 under hood4 Runs of 1/0 AWG Stinger Power and Grounds Stinger Fuseblocks(3) XS Power D3100 Powercells120 amp AlternatorBlue Streetglow Underglow and Interior with Music InterfaceEscort Passport 8500 X50 HardwiredScanGuage II with voltage Readout
