How Do You Wire Subwoofers In Parallel?
Nothing adds more bass impact than adding subwoofers. Adding two, driven off the same amplifier channel, can make a dramatic difference in volume and impact. Parallel wiring lowers amplifier impedance (or load), making the amp work a little harder, and creating more output. All that’s required are a few simple tools and speaker wire to make this visceral experience a reality. Turn over both subwoofer drivers, so the magnet is facing outward. Cut two lengths of speaker wire to reach from the amplifier to each subwoofer, using the Klein tool. Cut a 1/4-inch piece of insulation from each end of both pieces of speaker wire. There should be eight bare wire ends now visible. Using the appropriate screwdriver, connect the end of the positive wires (usually has printing or a molded ridge) to the positive terminals on the amplifier. If this is a mono amplifier, both positive wires will be combined at the single positive amplifier terminal. If it is stereo, the positives will be combined at the
