does it matter which coils i connect with one another?

im wiring to 2 ohms with 2 2ohm subs

part of that you have to connect a + and -

well would it matter which coil i connect to each other?

like

should i connect 1st coil + to 1st coil - ?

or 1st coil + to 2nd coil - ?

dual or single voice coil?

and yes, it does matter. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

No you can not wire - and + together on the same coil, they have to be different coils.

Dual voice coils 2 ohm each

is it right to connect the 1st coil + with the 2nd coil -

then connect the other + and - with the other sub or amp

but the main thing is, do i have to cross the coils, or do i match coil to coil

pretty sure you match coil with coil im so confused what your saying

ok u are confusing me!!!! u first said u cant mix coils, now u say u do....

ok i AM wiring to achieve a 2 ohm load...

i have a mono amp and 2 2ohm subs, i will wire them like this....

THE TERMINALS with YELLOW dots are voice coil #1 ones without are voice coil #2

WHICH picture would be correct? #1 picture or #2 picture!?



ORRRR

ok yea the rockford didnt help my specific question as to if you can connect same coils or not

but i got it now, thanks

and the difference between the two pictures is the TERMINALS look for yellow dots..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

o my bad man i got it now

well i wired my homies 2 lightning audios VC2 like

all negatives conected together and then all positives connected together and his are dual 4ohm so it drops it down to a 1 ohm load

The first picture is what you want. You cannot connect + and - on the same voice coil, because you aren't putting it into the circuit.
