WIRING GUIDELINES
It is highly recommended that you seek an authorized PowerBass dealer to properly setup, wire
and install your woofers for maximum performance.
There are multiple ways to wire your woofers depending on your amplifier and system configuration. The use
of multiple voice coils offers you more versatility in system configuration. It is important to know the limits of
your amplifier to optimize its performance. It is always better to use your subwoofer in a mono / bridged mode
if your amplifier has the capabilities. There are basically four different types of wiring configurations: Series,
Parallel, Series-Parallel or Parallel-Parallel. It is possible to change the impedance or load by how the speakers
are to be wired and by the quantity of woofers used.
Parallel wiring a dual 4 ohm sub = 2 ohm
PARALLEL
SERIES
DUAL VOICE COIL WIRING
Parallel-Parallel wiring two dual 4 ohm subs = 1 ohm
Series-Parallel wiring two dual 4 ohm subs = 4 ohm
Series wiring a dual 4 ohm sub = 8 ohm

connected to the amplifier
