Maybe this is a self-troll thread?

He was using both sets of terminals (which are internally the same) and two pairs of wires. sounds like a good way to get more power to a sub in my book, but what do i know?
If you don't know why you would want to do that over using one set of wires... you are not qualified to think about car audio yet. pay us and we'll do it right the first time, and we won't ruin your subs in the process.

you sound like a dummy. it dont matter if it was 4 wires or 2, it was still running at 1 ohm. i would rather only have 2 sets of wires coming out of my box vs two if its going to give the same amount of power. less clutter and there is no need to use both terminals on the amp for 1 sub.

whats the truth. he didnt hook up rite and blew it?
where is the pix of this sub?????????

the motor was fucked. cracked ect.

when i pulled the motor out it was missing a piece off. i got pissed and picked it up and slamed it down ect. but ill take a pic if its still in my work parkin lot

I'm a dummy because each of the vcs on my sub are wired to their own port on my sundown amp. You can get 2 pair 12ga wire too, you know. I know you can do it your way for aesthetics, but doing it my way will get more power to the sub. But you don't know why, and that's the (well, one) difference between me and you. Oh, and my sub still works. I still think you wired it out of phase, causing **** to break. Prove me wrong, please.

You can't see any wires in my setup anyway

i do see what your saying. i actually wire my sub the same way. if i understand correctly. yes you can jump the wires on the inside but running all the wires out of the box with help the sub play better, if im not mistaken that is. i run the wires staight into the amp, no internal jumps

one pair of wires for each VC wired straight to it's own terminal on the amp. it just sounds like good install practices to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This. I was tempted for a minute to get caught up in the latest fuckery development for a minute, but I thought better of it.

he threw it in the trash

d2 Voice coil. so there are 2 sets of terminals right..well, each terminal went to its own channel on the amp when he gave me the sub. so instead of only 2 wires coming from the sub (wiring the sub down to 1 ohm) he had one positive wire go to the left positive on the amp, and the other terminals positive going to the right positive on the and, also the same for the negatives. so it was like one coil was left, the other was right. and instead of having the coils sep. i connect the coils pos. to pos, then to amp pos. and then neg to neg and then to the amp
