Simple Wiring Question

[devdog 10+ year member]

So i have 2 subs that i need to wire down to 2 ohms. They are svc @ 4 ohms. I have an AP1500 and i need to wire them parallel. This means i only have 2 wires going to my amp, but there are 2 positive and 2 negative terminals. Does it matter where i put the wires?

EDIT: Is the amp 1 channel or 2?

hmm, thought SVC only has one pair of terminals, learned something! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

and use only one pair of terminals. on each sub.

I believe he means the amp has two sets of terminals, not the subs.

thanks for clearing that up!.

If the amp is a 2 channel amp, then just wire one sub to each channel.

If the amp is a mono amp (1 channel) and has two sets of terminals, then they are just there so you don't have to try and stuff multiple wires into one terminal, they are connected internally. So you would still just wire one sub to each set of terminals.

Alright thanks a lot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It is a one channel amp so if i just put the 4 wires into the 4 terminals then it should be 2 ohms?

The website says that it is a single channel mono amp =/

Ok, then follow my advice for the mono amp...

You can wire the subs parallel and use any set of + and - terminals on the amp. Or you can wire each sub directly to it's own terminal on the amp. Same result.

Cool. Thanks again.
