There are many ways to wire subwoofers and amplifiers. The ideal is to match subs, amps, and their relative impedances to maximize their power capabilities. While not totally inclusive, the following diagrams should be helpful in determining which wiring option will work best for you.

NOTE: Low-impedance systems have been omitted due to the relative rarity of amplifiers capable of driving one-ohm loads (or 2-ohm loads when bridged). Call your Crutchfield Advisor for help in determining how to wire a low-impedance subwoofer system.

CAUTION: Be sure to maintain proper polarity to prevent damage to your amplifier/woofer system.

SVC = Single Voice Coil; DVC = Dual Voice Coil
