Illustration: = is wire
VC #1 VC #2
+ ========= + ==
- ========= - ==
Then they would run out of the box in one wire, with a postive and a negative, and be able to run it to the terminals on the amp. I think what I am saying is right, but I really do not know. I was almost sure it's wired to 4ohms now, as each VC is wired seperate, and it's a 4ohm sub. The Monoblock amp only has one + terminal and one - terminal right? Hopefully you guys can confirm. I really, really appreciate all this help. I'm trying to learn myself, but nobody ever learned a whole lot without some good help  Thanks a lot guys, look forward to hearing from you. |
This post is a few days old, hopefully you have it figured out now but in case not........you have two sets of wires coming out of your box, if you twist together both positive wires and then both negative wires that will give you one set(a single positive and a single negative) to hook to your amplifier......it's the same as hooking it up at the sub inside of the box, either way works. This will give you a 2ohm load to your amp, there is no way to wire up this sub as a single 4ohm load. 2ohms or 8ohms are your only two choices to a mono amp.
