Just wanted to get back in here and post on the great deal and service I received from Smartass......

If anyone is thinking about buying audio don't hesitate to get in touch with them.....even though it was the first time for me, ordering audio off the internet, I was kept updated on the whole status of the order and received it very well packaged within 3 days time! GREAT!

Okay....so here's my noob style question......I'm goin from a single voice sub to dual voice......
On the new sub I got there are 4 push type terminals......the single voice only had one set of terminals......do I have to run wires inside the box to both sets of terminals? or is that there just for convenience of install?

any help would be much appreciated....wanna install these and see how they sound!>..

thanks

You have to wire up both sets off terminals
if it's a dual 4ohm then you have an option of 2ohm or 8ohm final impedence depending if you wire them up parallel or in series

thanks for the reply.....

Yes they are 2 12"subs and are dual 4 ohm---

well I have a Kenwood KAC-929 amp....so how exactly should I be wiring it up?....I think I need to keep them at 4-ohm coz in another forum they told me that amp is not stable at 2 ohms

currently there is just one set of wires running from the pos and negs inside the box.....do I solder another set of wires in there or just split the ones i currently have and run it to the two new terminals?

Thanks for the picture....

Now I have a split box...for the two 12's....what the picture is showing me is that I have to have the 2 positives running out the back....same with the \two negs.....and THEN.....the leftover positive and negs have to be connected to each other?....lol.....i'm just so bad at this...

can someone just give me a step by step if its not too much trouble?......I have one huge box with a wall between.....each section has a pos and ne g terminal in it....and currently there is one set of pos and neg wires in each chamber.......on my old setup i just hooked the pos to pos and neg to neg.....so how to i modify that now?

thanks

No problem, and this should help you.

yeah i got that picture already.....i just need it explained to me liek really simple....ie...take this wire and put here.....and the other wire...

lol....if you can take the time to do that....most appreciated....

Is everything jus the same as before...but now the only thing different is that i wire the two new terminals to each other?.....the pos to the neg on each sub?

eddie_j

Well let me put this really really simple...

Its a 2 channel amp....so currently i have 4 wires coming out of it.....1 set of pos/neg goes to one chamber and other goes to the other chamber.....

INSIDE the box...same thing....each chamber has a pos/neg wire sticking out inside.....

now....which wire goes where?...what do i have to add/change to ge the subs to work?

i think thats simple enough....lol....thanks everyone for your patience....if anyone can answer as simple as possible....much appreciated...

are the subs sharing airspace in the box or is it sort of like 2 seperate boxes put together?

Its a box with a wall between....so they are in separate chambers....no gaps or holes or anything....just one big box with a wall between....

the seond one you have there
