Help wiring!!

[jersyn82]

I am putting in a hdc3 12 with a twisted sounds 1.3kw. The sub is wired and in the box I built. I'm wanting to run at 1 ohm and the amp has 4 inputs for speaker wire and I'm not sure how to hook it up. I found diagrams for sub but none for amp like I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

If this is a monoblock amp and you're not running it in bridged mode (assuming you aren't), than just use the 2 outermost speaker wire terminals. Example: if the outputs are -+-+ than put your negative wire in the 1st terminal (negative) and your positive wire in the 4th terminal (positive)

Does is really matter though?

If you did your wiring at the sub, than not really. When there's 2 terminals it just gives you options for wiring. If you were trying to hook a 4 Ohm DVC sub to a 2 ohm load, you could wire each coil to its own terminal, to still result in a 2 ohm load. However, if you just did your wiring at the sub, you'll be fine. Just hook it to a positive and a negative
