10TW3 Dual Voice Coil Wiring

Please Note:

 The TW3 is a dual voice coil driver. 

BOTH voice coils must be connected to the amplifier 
(in series or parallel) for the speaker to operate 
properly. To accomplish this, each TW3 features a pair 
of main input connection push-terminals for each 
voice coil. Verify that the connections are properly 
configured based on these wiring diagrams to 
achieve the desired load prior to sending signal to 
the subwoofer.

All specifications are subject to change without notice.

  *   Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.

  **   Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should not be used as a comparison to 

other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder” ! 

 ***   Re (DC resistance) is measured with the voice coils in series, for parallel-wired specification divide Re by 4. All other specifications 

remain the same.
