Here's an example diagram for connecting two 4-ohm DVC subs to a mono-channel amplifier: Wiring terms you need to know.. All the wires depicted in the Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams are speaker wires. For wiring subwoofers, we recommend using wires of 12- to 16-gauge in size.. Result: GOOD - Amp power output will be the max. rated power. Each speaker receives ½ of that. 4 Ohm Stable Amplifier 2Ω DVC Subwoofer Wiring Diagram This diagram shows how to wire subwoofers for a 4Ω stable amplifier (mono or each channel for multi-channel amps) for the best compromise between Ohms load and power output. Wiring for 1 to 4
A DVC speaker has two voice coils, each with its own set of terminals. Because of this, DVC speakers (typically subwoofers) offer more wiring options than SVC speakers. Note: Many of the wiring options shown in this application may not be compatible with your amplifier because of low impedance loads. Please check your amplifier owner's manual.. Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofer: 12 Ohms; Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 8 Ohms; Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 4 Ohms; Dual-1.5 Ohm Subwoofer: 3 Ohms; One DVC driver with Voice Coils in Parallel. One Dual Voice Coil Speaker in Parallel. Connecting the two voice coils of the driver in parallel (+ to +, - to -) will result in the following impedances: Dual-8 Ohm.
