Wiring Question about an Audiobahn AW1200Q

[venom107 10+ year member]

I just got my sub in the mail yesterday, but there is one thing I have to ask. The sub is a DVC 8ohm sub but on each side of the sub it looks like 4 wiring terminals which should I use and why are there extra. I know this may sound pretty stupid but I don't want to wire this wrong. I'm looking to wire it to a 2 ohm load.

For convenience, the give you two clips for each terminal, in case you have to put two wires to one terminal. For a single 2 ohm load, wire like this.

I also just recently received my aw1200q except it's a dual 4ohm voice.. so just get an amp that's 2ohm stable (assuming you only have the one DVC).. and hook it up like the diagram above..

Hey, I just checked with Audiobahn and it says that the extra terminals are like a Y setup that way you dont have to attatch 2 wires into one terminal its supposed to make hookup easier and I have to admit it does. I just used the diagram that came with the sub and hooked it up to a 2 ohm load and everything works great. I've got it in a sealed box for now but thats just a temp setup until I can build my ported box.
