Amalan Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) ok this is going to seem like a stupid question but i need someone to tell me if i wired this right. i am used to svc subs not dvc so when im looking at this dvc wiring diagram i find it a bit odd. i am using temporary speaker wire in these pictures just so i can see if thats being wired correctly. so help me out just check this and tell me whats wrong. this is the wiring diagram that nick at fi sent me so i tried to follow that since this is the first time ill ever be wiring dual voice coil lined the subs up the same way in the diagram sorry for the blurry picture but the right is + and left is - red=positve, black=negative subwoofer number 1 2 wires in the red 2 wires in the black both connected to the amp and subwoofer number 2 subwoofer number 2 wires being connected from subwoofer number 1 this is where i started to second guess myself cause this looks weird and i feel like its wrong that is the right side of subwoofer number 1 right side of subwoofer number 2 did i connect this right? and on a side note i am going to go pick up some wiring tomorrow so i was wondering if anyone knew what gauge wire would be ideal for this wiring diagram setup, i am running about 1800 watts at 1 ohm Edited April 14, 2007 by Amalan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 youre wrong. you connected it to only one voice coil on each sub. thats the reason the wiring looks funny in the last 2 pix. recheck it. need be, ill pull my subs out tomorrow, throw them upside down, and take a pic of them wired. try it again. its not hard at all. btw, run atleast 12 gauge for wire.
