how to wire the amp outputs for subs

[Rocky213 10+ year member]

hey boys, i have the power t1500bd...i was wondering if i could still wire the amp bridged style even though its not bridgeable..i dont understand why theirs two outputs when its one chanel..i have two 4 ohm T1's wired in parallel but how do i put em in the amp if theirs two outputs and i have one wire

If it's a mono amp and has two sets of outputs it's just for convenience. The outputs are connected internally.

so just use one or one of each

You can use all of them man. You have dual + outputs that are CONNECTED INTERNALLY. So if you only need one of them use one, but if you have two subs it would be better to use both, one for each sub. Same goes for the - outputs.

That question gets asked a lot. Why can't people understand it? I have that exact amp. Maybe I should take it apart and show them that it is connected internally and they connect in parallel once you utilitze both sets of terminals.

This.

Basically what hes telling you is both of the output terms are EXACTLY the same. I have one DVC woofer and I am using both output terms on my amp, one + and - set per coil.

so i can wire each my subs in paralel seperately and have a seperate wire for each of them going into the amp

As lomg as your amp will support the resulting ohm load.

Yes just remember if you wire the subs to the amp using both sets of terminals, it's the same as wiring them in parallel and using one set.
