When dealing with single-voice coil subs, you are limited in your wiring options. With that in mind, it makes the process much easier because you don't have the dilemma of deciding which setup will work best for your system. To hook up three subwoofers to one mono amplifier, using single-voice coil subs, you are left with one option. Within minutes you will be able to connect your 8-ohm subwoofers to your amplifier.
Instructions
1. Remove fuses from the amp or disconnect ground wire. This will prevent accidental power from reaching the speakers while you are connecting them.
2. Cut six lengths of speaker wire. Four lengths will be used to connect the subwoofers to one another. The other two lengths will connect the amplifier to the subwoofers. For this reason, make sure that you cut the wires long enough to reach between components. Strip the casing from all of the ends so that the wire is exposed for connection.
3. Connect one end of one of the speaker wires to the positive terminal on the amplifier. Connect an end of the other amplifier length wire to the negative terminal on the amplifier. Tighten the terminal connections with a screwdriver.
4. Connect the positive wire from the amplifier to the positive terminal on one of the subwoofers. Connect one end of the remaining wires to the same terminal. You can twist the two ends together before inserting them into the terminal to produce a better connection. Tighten the terminal connection unless it is a push button connection.
5. Connect the other end of the positive wire from the first subwoofer to the positive terminal on the second subwoofer. Insert one end of the remaining wires into the same terminal. Twist the wires together before inserting to improve the connection. Tighten the connection.
6. Connect the end of the positive wire coming from the second subwoofer to the positive terminal on the third subwoofer.
7. Connect the negative wire from the amplifier to the negative terminal on the same subwoofer that the positive wire from the amplifier is connected to. Connect an end from one of the remaining wires to same terminal. Twist the wires together before connecting for an improved connection.
8. Connect the end of the negative wire from the first subwoofer to the second subwoofer. Connect one end of the last wire to the same terminal. Twist the wires together to improve the connection. Connect the final end to the negative terminal on the third subwoofer.
9. Reconnect the fuses or ground wire to the amplifier.
