w7 wiring...

[chris96camaro 10+ year member]

I am hoping to soon be getting a 12w7, with a 1000/1. Can somebody tell me how to wire the sub to this amp? This 3 ohm/1.5 ohm voicecoil stuff is confusing to me. Can anybody help?

And i did search and cant find exactly what i need...Thanks

There is no option for 3 ohm oin there

Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofer: 3 Ohms

Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 2 Ohms

Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 1 Ohms



Is anything about that right?

1 SVC driver

It just doesn't get any easier than this: two terminals (+ and -) on the speaker, and two leads from the amp also conveniently labeled + and -. The rest is history.

3 Ohm Subwoofer: 3 Ohms

4 Ohm Subwoofer: 4 Ohms

8 Ohm Subwoofer: 8 Ohms

12 Ohm Subwoofer: 12 Ohms

Or is it that...

With negative from amp to negative from sub, and vice versa for positive

Well, is the sub a single voice coil sub or is it a dual?

If it is single then take the + on the sub to the + on the amp, same with the negative.

If it is a dual voice coil sub, then take the + on one side and connect it to the + on the other side of the sub with a wire. Then take another wire, shove it one of the same terminals and then send that one to the amp (do the same for the negative). That way will give you a 1.5ohm load, because if both voice coils are 3ohms, 3/2 is 1.5.
