wiring subs to .1 ohm

[Tyler24 10+ year member]

I have a DC audio 1.2 k, and 2 DVC 4 ohm subs, now the amp has 2 sets of speaker inputs 2 pos, 2 neg, do I still have to wire them together the traditional way or can I wire them separate? And do the 2 sets of inputs bridge internally? Thanks

Uhhhh .1 or 1?

.1 would fry that amp bro

Sorry typo just 1 ohm

Wire all positives together and all negtives together. Called Parallel wiring

Like that ^

OH. I see what you're asking. Yes, the outputs are internally bridged. So each sub could have it's own positive and negative terminal if you wish to do it that way.

Ok makes sense, do my end wires pos&neg have to come off each sub or can I run the final wires off of one sub?

Ok db-spl but how would I go about that? Cuz they have to be wired together?

They do get wired together. Through the amp. Those output leads are bridged inside the amp..

So would I still have to wire the subs together or could I go separate with each sub having a jumper then + & - off of each sub?

You can do either. they both bring you to the same final impedance.

Ok so that diagram u showed I wouldn't have to wire them together at all? Just a +&- jumper on each sub then the other +&- to the amp? Repeat for each sub?

If you wanna use all the terminals, it gets wired like so:

Ok exactly what I was looking for, so I dont have to use any jumper wires on each coil?

Wire ea sub to a 2ohm load back to on set of +,and - terminals,and the amplifier bridges internally for dropping to the 1ohm load on the subs impedience.This amplifier and others like it with dual connections are made to eliminate that extra Jumper exposed wire from sub to sub
