Need help wiring

[ZCannon]

Hello,

I have 2 Pioneer TS-W310D4 subs and a planet audio ac1000.2 amplifier. I have no idea how to wire these subs to the amp correctly. Could anyone suggest a diagram that can help me?

I don't have a manual...i bought the amp from a friend.

Run the subs series/parallel and bridge the amp to run a 4 ohm load. HIGHLY doubt you will get rated rms in that amp though. Set the gains right. Go to sonic or Crutchfield for wiring.

Do not present the amp with a 1 ohm load, unless you're into car fires.

Wire each sub's coils in parallel, then wire the subs together in series for a final 4 ohm load. The manual suggests the RMS rating at 4 ohms is 700W. That'll be 350W RMS to each sub (at best), which meshes well with the 400W RMS rating of your subs. This is what it looks like:

and here's the manual for the amp: http://images.planetaudiousa.com/manuals/ANARCHY_AB_EN_UM.PDF

Make sure you set your gains correctly. There's a bunch of articles on the site, but I like this one because it has pretty pictures and includes download links for test tones:

Use a -5db, 40hz tone and you'll be golden.

Corrected haha. Was fixing that when you posted. And actually you wire the vc's series and then parallel the subs together.
