ohms Impedance Question

[nsgrossman]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the car audio scene, first off sorry for asking such a dumb question. But I have this amp and this sub (single sub) and the manual fives different ways to wire it. Apparently it differs depending on the ohms. below is a picture of what the manual tells me. Please help me if u can, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks

did that manual come with the sub??? because it makes no sense haha because im pretty sure the sub is SVC 4 ohm, ie. you run the + on the sub to the + on the amp, - to -, and thats all u can do, final ohm load will be 4 ohms

does your sub have one or two sets of terminals? if only one, then it should be simple for you to figure that out. if two, you need to find out if they are 2ohm or 4ohm each. that link shows a svc 4ohm. if thats it, just put + with + and - to -

just googled that sub and if you have the exact same on in your link, its SVC 4 ohm, so run the positive on the sub to the positive on the amp, and negative to negative, and ur done.

easy enough

there are 2 terminals on the sub, 2 +'s, 2 -'s, did they send me the wrong one?

So you need to run this @ 2ohms correct?

sorry toasted, I'm a noob, I really have no idea.

use a wire to go from + to the other + and same with the -'s. the from ther to the amp. that puts you at 2ohms

He's right assuming it is dual 4 ohms which I am sure it is.
