Is there any way to do this with 2 sets of terminals?

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

I am going to do a 2 ohm load from my 2 BLs with 2 ohm DVC

here is how I m supposed to wire them up..

But I am trying to figure out if there is a way to wire them up to 2 sets of terminals?

here is a pic of what my terminals looks like

If it is not possible at all then I guess I could just use one terminal.. (i d prefer to use 2 if possible)

Any input would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Easy. Wire each sub to 4 ohms to the terminals, run both terminals to the amp for a 2 ohm load.

Hmm? how can I do that?

I m kinda a noob at wiring stuff, I only know what I m supposed to do, thats it lol

Why not use just 1?

So I am assuming that I should do this http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard/1_2ohmDVC_4ohm.gif

and then how do I wire both of them to the amp? just both of them directly to their own set of + and - on the amp or what?

From the look of it, I think I m wrong? Shouldnt I wire the + terminal to another + terminal and then go down to the amplifier's +.. same thing with the - ??

haha I dk, I just feel that since I have 2 sets then I gotta use them both or it ll look funny if I just use one.. lol

Like I said, if I have to use just one, fine then..

And I think I want to do 2 sets cuz I am bored lol, I wanna play with my subs so I can just play with wirings for now until I get my amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yup, that's what each sub will look like inside the box. I assume you have a monoblock amp? If so, just put both + on the terminals to the + on the amp, same for the -.

but then it will be 4 ohm load from both of them?

shouldnt both +'s and -'s be together going to the amp?

or the mono amp's terminals are already connected with each other?

Sorry, like I said, I m a noob at this sometimes

After you wire them to 4ohms in the box do this......Pretend the subwoofer terminals are the box terminals.

I'd use 1 terminal.

so is this correct? lol

If so, then I learned something lol, I never knew that the amp have 2 sets of + and - that are connected to each other

Stupid question- am I looking at any kind of performance loss or anything with this set up compared with using just one terminal? thanks

Yes that is correct, and no, there is no difference.

im doing the same thing here so this picture what i did will work too? i put in 2 terminals and basically just wire 1 of the amp power wires to the matching +- and then run it through to the matching +- sub?

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

based on what everyone says, this will work..
