i have a pdx1.1000 amp and a type x sub wired at 2 ohms. is there a special way of connecting it. i see 2 speaker outputs on the amp. do i just connect it one of them ?

 

As long as you are sure it's wired for 2ohms then just connect the + wire to speaker output channel 1 + and - wire to the speaker output channel 1 - and you should be good to go.

 

what the consequenses if i'm not sure and i run it at 2ohm when its not. I'm pretty sure its wired for 2ohms cause its a 2 ohm speaker right?i had a box made for the sub from al and eds and i told him what amp i had. so i think its 2 ohms. i want to run it now cause i just wired my amp.

 

also i dont understand your reply.

heres a pic of the back of my amp

could you be a little more specific please. thank you.

 

also its a mono amp 1000x1 . why is there 2 out puts?

 

In case you are using a dual coil Sub....or 2 different subs you want to run in parallel.

from Crutchfield:
"The two speaker terminals are shorted together, so if you're only using one sub you can connect to either terminal."

If your are running a Type-X Sub, it probably has 2, 4 Ohm voice coils which are currently wired in parrallel.

Do what PAS2KNUT said...OR assuming I got your type X model configuration correct, run a pair of lines from each amp output to each voice coil.......

Please inclue all model numbers of equipment when asking for help.....thanks!

 

You should read the manual that came with the amp. The answer is right in there. On page 2 all the way at the bottom (Fig #11) you can see in the picture that you should be connecting to the left side.

 

More specifically, it is one output with multiple connectors.

 

Do you have some kind of reading problem? Your question was answered......

another thread?

All the X-type subs I've seen are dual VC, 4ohm each......wire the VCs in parallel (+ to + and - to -) and connect them to the amp exactly like Jim said:

"just connect the + wire to speaker output channel 1 + and - wire to the speaker output channel 1 - and you should be good to go. "

or John as said to use the left one.....

 

The amp should have come with a connector that you connect the speaker wires to. On the connector there are two places to put speaker wires. One is positive (+) and one is negative (-). Take the positive (+) wire from the sub and connect it to the positive (+) position on the connector. Then take the negative (-) wire from the sub and connect it to the negative position on the connector. Once you have the sub connected to the connector plug the connector into channel 1 or the left side. Here is a picture from the manual of the PDX1000.1 showing what I just described.



What model x-series sub did you buy so I can look up the wiring diagram for 2ohms.

If you are not comfortable with these directions I highly recommend you pay someone to do this for you.
