Connection order

  1. 1

    Connect the amplifier's red speaker-output positive terminal to the positive terminal at the start of all 2 branches.

  2. 2

    Connect the final negative terminal from each branch to the amplifier's black speaker-output negative terminal.

Wire colors identify polarity in this diagram. Black paths receive a light outline only so they remain visible on the dark background. Do not combine different subwoofer models, voice-coil impedances, or amplifier channels in one calculated load.
