I have this 1 channel amp but it has 2 positives and 2 negatives. Its going to be connected to an L7. How do I connect the 2 postives and 2 negatives to the sub?

your L7 will only have one positive and one negative IF it's a single voice coil sub. If that's the case, just hook it up to one positive and one negative on the amp...the other remaining positive and negative terminals on the amp won't be used.
If your sub is dual voice coil, wire each positive and negative for each coil to the terminals on the amp.2006 Tiburon -
isnt there a way to bridge the pos and neg ? if you have two pos and neg dosent that mean you have a 2 ch. amp ? meaning two pos and 2 negComment

Dude, Brain Fart? All L7's are DVC and I have never ever heard of wiring a speaker like you stated. Are you saying if he has a dvc wire each + from the sub to each + on the amp and vice versa? So, he would have 2 +'s and 2-'s going from one sub to one amp? Thats nuts.Originally posted by nda0602v6:

On to the answer, Most one channels still have 2 +'s and 2-'s you just bridge it. Take on + and the opposite - on the amp. Depending on what ohm sub you have depends on how you wire the speaker it self. Whats the rating on the amps for ohm in 1 channel?2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>Comment

yea thats what im sayin lol my 1 ch amp only has one pos and one neg so his is a two channel amp but bridge it and its a one ch amp should show you have to wire the pos and neg on the amp to get to one channelComment

just because you have 2 +'s and 2 -'s on an amp doesn't mean its not a mono amp, thats not what I said. My JL 500/1 has 2+'s and 2-'s and its a mono amp.2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>Comment

The JBL BP1200.1 has two pairs of connections that are paralleled internally. If this is the case with redmaro's amp, nda is correct. It'd be exactly the same as wiring the VC's together before wiring to the amp. Same results either way. [img]smile.gif[/img]Comment

Most one channel amps are already bridged internally so theres no need to do that.

My L7 is 2ohm DVC and my amp is 1ohm stable.95 Camaro 3.4 convertible<br />95 Nissan Sentra GXE Twin CamComment

Do as nda suggested.Originally posted by redmaro:

Well then, I stand corrected, never knew that. L7's are still all DVC's [img]tongue.gif[/img]2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>Comment

Okay so the amp has 2 positives and 2 negatives and the sub also has 2 positives and 2 negatives.
So I am going to connect it as if I had 2 single voice coil subs right?
I am going to connect 1 positive to one positive on the sub, and the another positive to the other positive on the sub, and 1 negative to one negative and another to another right? [img]smile.gif[/img]95 Camaro 3.4 convertible<br />95 Nissan Sentra GXE Twin CamComment

So basically, with my MTX mono amp, does it matter what positive and negative outlet on my amp i use? I have my DVC sub wired parallel to drop the impedance to 2 OHM. But the mono amp does not need to be bridged does it? Because both the ports are the same going out on a MONO amp correct?
I wondered about this last summer, but didnt have too much time to fuss with it since being at school.
This is confusing as hell trying to figure out what peoples words mean in the diagram.

As long as the amp terminals are paralleled on the inside (as most are. check manual), it's the same thing either way. [img]smile.gif[/img]Comment

They are parallel, thanks.Originally posted by 96firebird311:
