Total Noob Question - wiring subs to amp

[TzA]

I am designing a box for x2 C2 Audio Team 1K 12's... I have always run just a single woofer, so i have never been met with this "issue".

My amplifier is a Crunch GP3000D-Pro, it is a mono-block amp but has 4 speaker terminals.

• Can I wire each sub independently to 0.5 ohm, giving me 1 ohm total at the amp (before imp rise, of course) if I am going to utilize both sets of terminals?
• Is it best to just wire them together to 1 ohm and use 1 set of speaker terminals on the amp? (if so, please give reason why...)
• OR, does it make almost no difference at all?

Thanks in advance!

Seriously.... 60 views and not a single comment.

Bumpin this ish to the top. Someone please put some input here!

I'm probably wrong but If you wire each speaker independently at .5 ohm to each set of terminals the amp will see it as .5 ohm not 1 ohm.

edit: You can wire the subs together and use just one set of terminals if I'm not mistaken.

What's the impedance of your subs?

that would have been a good thing to put in my OP. lol.

Each are Dual 1 Ohm.

The 4 speaker terminal are for ease of wiring they connect inside

Wire like this

I see that, that is how I would normally have wired them.. but I was thinking that since the terminals are all connected (mono block) that I could just wire each sub independently.. So I am not wiring the subs together in the box. This will allow me to have thicker speaker wire.

Can anyone give me any details if I should NOT wire my subs independently?

Noelito - you say to wire my subs like shown above, why wire this way and not independently?

It is called wiring them in "Series/Parallel" ... (SER/PAR) ... to achieve a 1-Ohm load.

Just do it. smh

Do you need some extra wire? I'll give you some.

Wow.

If you wire each sub to .5 and connect each sub to the terminals it will see it as .25 ohm. The terminals will parallel the ohm load if you use both sets so just use what the wiring diagram is above
