SA12 D2 wiring question.

[KMS 10+ year member]

I'm not sure if it's any of the two terminals or two specific ones I have to bridge in order to get it to run at 4ohms. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

You have to run + to + and - to -, then to the amp. Bridging takes place at the amp so with no additional info, we can't help you any more. Typically, if it's a certain set of terminals, it will be marked. Otherwise, you can typically use either set. Please tell me you're not trying to bridge a mono amp.

4 channel crescendo 1000c4 bridged to run a dual 2 ohm sa12. i need to run a bridge wire on some terminals on the sa12.

If your wanting a 4ohm load at the amp then run the sub coils in series (+ to - then remaining + and - to the amp). Then you can bridge two channels of the amp and get watever the rated power X 2 @ 4ohm. From their website it says 500 X 2 Bridged @ 4ohm so that is how much the sub will get if you wire it the way I have said.

WTF? This would make the final ohm load 1 ohm if you did it this way.

OP, do it like the guy above me said. Connect a + to a - and then run the other + and - to the amp. That will give you a 4 ohm load.

Maybe my words didn't flow right, but I was afraid he had no idea what he was doing since he was talking about bridging a sub. I then gave him directions of how to wire the sub to an amp, in hopes that he had a mono amp capable of a 1ohm load. I know that still sounds odd, but that's what was going through my mind...along with the alcohol lol.

this, also make sure you connect from one coil to the other not the same coil.
