two dual-voice coil 4-Ohm woofers are connected in parallel and then wired to  
each other in parallel, a 1-Ohm monaural output would result (See Fig. 2). On the  
other hand, if your amplifier is rated for 4-Ohm operation in bridged or one-channel  
operation, series-connect the woofer voice coils (See Fig. 3). If the amplifier is rated  
for 8 Ohms, interconnect the voice coils of the woofer in series as shown to obtain  
8-Ohm monaural output (See Fig. 4).

SERIES/PARALLEL STEREO CONNECTION  
Series wiring of each of two, dual voice-coil 4-Ohm woofers will result in a total  
impedance load of 8 Ohms at each channel of the amplifier (See Fig. 5). Otherwise,  
connect one woofer to each channel for 4-Ohm stereo operation (See Fig. 6), or two  
parallel-wired woofers (one-per-channel) for 2-Ohm stereo operation (See Fig.7).

SERIES/PARALLEL CONNECTION USING THREE WOOFERS  
Three dual 4-Ohm voice-coil woofers can be connected in such a way as to produce  
a 0.66-Ohm (See Fig.8) or 2.66-Ohm monaural output as shown below (See Fig.9).

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS  
To realize the utmost in sound reproduction from your subwoofer(s), follow these  
installation recommendations:  
l
Use a quality large gauge wire to connect your subwoofer to the  
amplifier  
l
l
Use a subwoofer crossover to remove unwanted higher frequencies  
Position the enclosure in the rear of the vehicle with the subwoofer  
facing rearward to improve bass response and avoid cancellation  
of audio frequencies  
ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS  
To enhance subwoofer performance, the following general recommendations should  
be addressed when constructing the speaker enclosure:  
l
l
l
l
Use 3/4" MDF for your construction material  
Glue all joint seams  
Screw or nail all joints tight  
Brace all walls
