Quad VC

[joeldirt 10+ year member]

I have been trying to find wiring configurations all over the place. No luck. The reason being is I am buying two 12" Immortals with Quad 2 ohm voice coils. I just don't want to mess up when trying to wire them to a one ohm load. Thanks

Now, in the above pic, just pretend that two subs are a single sub. But basically you'll want to series-parallel each subs VC's (so that each sub is 2ohm), and then parallel the two subs together (for a final 1ohm load).

But, like I said, with a little imagination the above pic will work for you.

i think thats gonna be mildly complicated with 8 vc's tho unless you wire on each sub=4 vc's in parallel for .5 ohm then wire the subs together in series to get 1 ohm. anyone--that sound right?

Or this pic might work for you:

You'll want to follow the same scheme as the middle sub above for each individual sub (it will give you a 2ohm load/sub), and then wire the subs together in parallel (for a final 1ohm load)

so in other words.... I hope I got this right. I will wire the power wire from the amp all the way thru all voice coils up to the last one. and end it there. And do the same with the negative side. that will end up with a one ohm load? That sounds basically what I was thinking. Hope I got it right. Thanks

squeaks pic is correct. Just combine the subs into two sets.
