Select your woofer's driver quantity and voice coil impedance to determine available wiring configurations. The resulting impedance load will help you determine a compatible amplifier. Choose Woofer Configuration <Select Quantity> 1 Woofer 2 Woofers 3 Woofers 4 Woofers <Select Impedance> Single Voice Coil - 4Ω Single Voice Coil - 8Ω Dual Voice Coil - 2x2Ω Dual Voice Coil - 2x4Ω Available Wiring Diagrams The impedance at the left of each diagram is the Nominal Impedance as seen by an amplifier. Select an amplifier optimized for this impedance. CAUTION: Some or all wiring options may not be compatible with your amplifier due to low impedance loads. Please check your amplifier's manual for impedance guidelines. Maintain proper polarity to prevent amplifier & woofer damage. For ease of use, some diagrams have (+/-) terminals intentionally reversed!
