Subwoofer box wiring 2 ohm kicker wiring diagram. The second speaker output terminal is there for convenience and if you hook a speaker to each terminal it would result in the two speakers being wired in parallel cutting the total impedance in half. So go to the wiring tool and type in 2 subwoofers. The rms ratings match up very closely so this setup if we can get the wiring right will work great. Check the amplifier s owners manual for minimum impedance the amplifier will handle before hooking up the speakers.

The location of positive and negative speaker terminals have been reversed in one or more diagrams for easier readability. Wire a 2 ohm sub to each terminal and the amp sees one ohm as its total load. Below two 2 ohm dvc speakers single 2 ohm load diagram shows two dvc 2 ohm subs with each subwoofer s voice coils wired in series to form a 4 ohm speaker 2 2 4 then the two 4 ohm subs are wired in parallel with each other to form a single 2 ohm load. Your amp won t like this and will probably shut down or overheat.

They show a typical single channel wiring scheme. Now if you look at the description for the kicker. The following diagrams are the most popular wiring configurations. The amplifier produces 750 watts rms at 2 ohms final impedance so need to find subwoofers that when wired properly produce a 2 ohm load.

4 ohm mono is equivalent to 2 ohm stereo. This example shows how series wiring can make a 2 ohm dvc subwoofer into a 4.
