did I do it right?

[jason_r83]

I have a pioneer 760 watt amp and one DUB 800 watt sub. The sub is dual 4 ohm. I bridged the amp. Here is a little sketch I did. Did I wire it right? thanks I've never had a sub that had four inputs on each side. I've just had subs that had two inputs and that was it...lol

p.s. I wont know if it works or not for awhile because I dont have a new head unit yet. I'm working on installing the sub and amp as we speak...

it has two of these on it- this one and one on the other side

get a DMM, does it read w/e you think it should?

I dont have anything hooked up yet, so I dont have a way to tell

Go an iPod ? hook it up and jump the 12+ to the remote.

that amp is NOT stable to two ohms bridged.

UNBRIDGE the amp and wire one coil to each channel, positive to positive - negative to negative.

so that will work if I just wire one channel to each side? Someone told me about doing it the way I did it but instead of running the wires from one side of the sub to the other with the same polarity; to criss cross them, positive to negative and vise versa...

should I do the wiring option #2 as seen in this link? I just find it wierd to be cross a negative with a positive, but then again I've never had to deal with a sub that had more than two inputs... thanks

the amp manual says that it's stable from 4-8 ohms when bridged...

coils show impedance w/o power

you could do it that way but you will be getting less power from your amp....wire each channel to 1 of the coils thats your best option you have in this situation...
