    Wirings Subs

    I am wiring up a dual 12" Shiva dual voice coilin the sonutube form. Do I wire + and - of each voicecoil to a dual binding post with jumpers to get 4 Ohms??? Also is each speaker powered off a channel of a stereo amp??? Thanks A

    Neil,

    wire like this to get 4 ohm load:

    ______________ + _____ +

    |Speaker

    ______________ - _____ -

    That is, wire the positive from the amp to the first voice coil positive to the second voice coil positive. Then wire from the amp to the first voice coil negative to the second voice coil negative. This is parallel wiring and will let the amp "see" a 4 ohm load.

    Hope I have this right, it's been a while.
    If you don't have any books on speaker design, pick one up, or at least go to Radio Shack and pick up a copy of the DIY Speaker book just to use for reference to the basics. I'm sure others will recommend some other sites or books to read

    Good luck
    Hope you understand the picture, it doesn't come out quite right after posting.

    Each woofer can then be put on a single side of a stereo amplifier.
