5. Wiring Configurations

The Focal SUB10DUAL features a dual 4-ohm voice coil, offering flexibility in wiring to match your amplifier's impedance requirements. Always ensure the amplifijatzailea egonkorra da aukeratutako inpedantziarekin.

5.1 Parallel Wiring (2 Ohms)

Connecting the two 4-ohm voice coils in parallel will result in a 2-ohm load. This configuration is often used to maximize power output from amplifiers that are stable at 2 ohms, leading to higher Sound Pressure Level (SPL).

• Connect the positive terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2.
• Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2.
• Connect the combined positive terminals to the amplifier's positive output.
• Connect the combined negative terminals to the ampbizigarriaren irteera negatiboa.

5.2 Series Wiring (8 Ohms)

Connecting the two 4-ohm voice coils in series will result in an 8-ohm load. This configuration is suitable for amplifiers that require a higher impedance load or when multiple subwoofers are used in a system.

• Konektatu 1. ahots-bobinaren terminal positiboa amplifier's positive output.
• Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2.
• Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2 to the ampbizigarriaren irteera negatiboa.
