WARNING: High-powered car audio systems may produce sound
pressure levels that exceed the threshold at which hearing
loss may result. They may also impair a driver’s ability to
hear traffic sounds or emergency vehicles. Use common
sense and practice safe listening habits when listening to
your audio system.
DUAL VOICE COIL WIRING
CAUTION: Never connect only one voice coil of a dual voice coil woofer.
Both must be driven at the same time for proper operation.
Never connect an amplifier to an impedance load lower than
it is rated to handle.
SERIES/PARALLEL MONAURAL CONNECTION
Parallel wiring for a single, dual-voice coil 4-Ohm woofer in a monaural system will
result in a total impedance load of 2 Ohms at the amplifier, (See Fig. 1) if your
amplifier is rated to drive 2 Ohms in bridged or one-channel operation. If each of
2
