EXONIC Subwoofer - Manual (Page 2)

Subwoofer Wiring Diagram
EXONIC subwoofers use a single or dual 4 ohm voice coil. Single 4 ohm coils
allow you to use one or multiple speakers to collectively maximize output of
your amplifier. The use of the dual four ohm coils make the subwoofers more
versatile, but a little trickier to wire. Please play close attentions to the following
guidelines.
There are three different types of wiring configurations used in car audio. They
are described as: Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel. You can change the
impedance or “load” depending on the quantity of woofers and how they are
wired.
Please use the wiring diagrams below to help choose the proper
wiring configuration for your system.
Introduction
Thank you for choosing an EXONIC subwoofer. All
EXONIC products are designed and manufactured to
meet the highest possible standards in order to give
you many years of musical enjoyment.
This manual is intended to provide the necessary
information needed to properly incorporate your new
EXONIC subwoofer into any mobile audio system.
This series consists of four different models in the
manual. It is necessary to pay close attention to your
specific woofer when deciding on a particular
enclosure. Failure to use the specified enclosure will
result in lower power handling and poor sound quality.
Please take time to carefully read the Owners manual;
it is the key to musical success.
