Help with wiring my Audiobahn aw 1200 q and SPL 460 phantom amplifier

Can you post a pic of the sub?

I think maybe what they are doing is putting connectors on both sides to make it easier to hook up.

From what I read it's a dual coil sub.

Yea,it'll be a little while, I'm at work. So you need a picture of it outta the box in assuming lol

Yes a picture of the bottom, or if you can find one online.

But I have a feeling, they put the connectors of each coil on one side. Then duplicated those connectors on the other side. One set wont' be used.

Oh OK let me see if I can find a picture on google

OK how do I post a picture? I found a pic with one side if the connectors and there's the exact same thing basically at the south pole of the speaker.

Yea not sure how to post a picture, I've tried the camera and the paper clip icons... When I select the picture it comes back to the body but its blank.

you click on the icon in the toolbar that looks like it has a tree in it.
Then since you found one online, you post the URL in the field, and uncheck the store locally button.

I'm looking up this sub more, it seems that Audiobahan was just trying to do something different with their connectors. So the ++ on one side are connected together and the -- on that same side are connected together.

I'm trying to read more on this sub, and getting conflicting information. I can't tell if this is a dual 4ohm sub, or something else?
Trying to figure out the best way to hook it up.

I'm on mobile I didn't see any tree thing lol but here's the URL for the pic I found. It has these, and then literally on the other side has them again. Basically north pole is what your looking at then on the speaker rings south pole it has the same amount of connectors.
So it looks like this.

++--
--++
Just imagine the circle(speaker ring) goes around the positives and negatives I illustrated above. Lol I just call it north and south poles :)

I still can't find out if this is a dual 4 or dual 2 coil speaker.

I think it's a dual 4. Because of this you can't bridge your amp because it would either be a 2 ohm total load (will throw the amp into protection) or 8 you'll lose all your power.

So to wire it up with that amp, you can do this.

take one + from one side and hook it to a + on the amp. Then take a - from that same side and hook it to the corresponding - on the amp.
now go to the other side of the speaker, take one + and hook it to the remaining + on the amp and do the same with the other -

basically your hooking each coil to a channel on the amp.

OK cool I think that may be what I did. Heres some info I found think its dual 4 ohm
