Alright, so I'm no audio genius but i just got an ALUM15Q from Audiobahn and I'm not sure how the wriring set up works... how exactly do i use the ++/-- inputs?

I'm running this from a bridged 600W Kenwood amp. ANY information is appreciated since I'm pretty much only benefitting from half the power right now. Thanks.

 

it depends on the ohm load of the voice coils. Is the sub a dual 2,4 or 6...should say on the sub somwhere.

get that and we can go from there if you still need help.

Just as 2dark2bslow has said, which version is it?
A) Audiobahn AW1500Q 15" Dual 4-ohm Voice Coil Component Sub Dual-voice coils • non-pressed pulp cone • foam surround • 50-800W RMS total power range • 18-500 Hz frequency response
B) Audiobahn AW1506Q 15" Dual 3-ohm Voice Coil Component Sub Dual voice coils • stamped aluminum cone • 2"-thick foam surround • 50-1,300W RMS total power range • 18-500 Hz frequency response • chrome basket

From that you can decide which way to go:
ie...

Wiring Option #1 (1) 2 ohm DVC Spkr = 1 ohm Load
(+) On Amp to 1st (+) on Sub then 2nd( +) on Sub
and likewise (-) On Amp to 1st (-) on Sub then 2nd (-) on Sub.

Wiring Option #2 (1) 2 ohm DVC Spkr = 4 ohm Load
(+) On Amp to 1st (+) on Sub then
(-) On Amp to 1st (-) on Sub then the (+) and (-) left over get connected together.

Wiring Option #3 (1) 4 ohm DVC Spkr = 2 ohm Load
(+) On Amp to 1st (+) on Sub then 2nd( +) on Sub
and likewise the (-) On Amp to 1st (-) on Sub then 2nd (-) on Sub

Wiring Option #4 (1) 4 ohm DVC Spkr = 8 ohm Load
(+) On Amp to 1st (+) on Sub then
(-) On Amp to 1st (-) on Sub then the (+) and (-) left over get connected together.
