Thread: Need Advising on Pioneer 12in Subwoofers

Because your amp has 4 terminals this makes it easier kinda, basically you wire each sub in parallel down to 2 ohm like this and because your amp has two pairs of of terminals they are internally wired parallel so that 2 ohm turns to 1 which you want. So just then connect the one postive and negative from each speaker to each terminal after you wire the speaker itself in parallel as per the picture. Does that make sense?

I think its making sense now but let me just run the diagram I remade by you. Basically I pretend each set of terminals is 2ohm so I wire each sub to 2 ohm and I don't have to physically wire them together because inside the amp it wires the 2ohm terminals right into 1ohm and that will put out 1200watt rms and each of the subs will get its 600watt rms that it needs. Is this correct?

Pardon my lack of Paint skills.

Yep looks about right, you would do it like the first diagram I posted if the amp only had 1 set of terminals. Actually if you didn't order a box yet you could run 2 separate boxes if the trunk passthrough space is really nesseaary for you because of the dual terminals on the amp but I recommend just 1 box.

Im planning on making 2 boxes for them so I can still use the passthrough. This is easier now that I can hook it to the amp instead of the other sub. Thanks again for the help and Ill let ya know if I run into any more problems!

Alright sweet, good luck
