What kind of wire do I use to connect Pos and Neg on 1 side of the 13W7 in order to get a 3 ohm impediance.

Is it a Dual 1.5 or something?

Run a jumper from positive on the first coil to the negative on the second, then hook the other two up correctly.

Coil 1 - Positive and Negative

Coil 2 - Positive and Negative

On Coil One, join the Negative to the Positive on Coil 2.

Then, from the amplifier, run the positive and the negative to the two left terminals.

Use a piece of speaker wire, 10awg, 12awg, whatever, just not 18ga or something stupid and jump the two coils together like I said.

I know your probably right, just one more question, in the picture, it shows that Coil 2 is the only 1 that is getting pos/neg together. It looks like Coil 1 is then getting hooked up to the amp.

In order to wire a DVC 1.5 to 3ohms

You need to have a jumper from a positive to a negative between the two coils

You then hook the two remainders up normal.

In that picture, coil 1 is on top, coil 2 is on bottom. The jumper wire is between coils.
