To wire the Polk Audio DB1042 10" Marine Certified Subwoofer, you need to consider the impedance and load requirements of your amplifier. Here are the wiring options and their corresponding loads:
1. Single 4 Ohm Load:
- If you have two 4 Ohm speakers wired in parallel, they will present a 2 Ohm load.
- If you have a dual 4 Ohm speaker with coils wired in parallel, it will present a 2 Ohm load.
- If you have a dual 4 Ohm speaker with coils wired in series, it will present an 8 Ohm load.
- If you have two dual 4 Ohm speakers with coils and speakers wired in parallel, they will present a 4 Ohm load.
- If you have two dual 4 Ohm speakers with coils and speakers wired in parallel, they will present a 1 Ohm load (not recommended unless the amplifier is rated for 1 Ohm operation).
- If you have three dual 4 Ohm speakers with coils wired in series and speakers wired in parallel, they will present a 2.7 Ohm load.
Please make sure that your amplifier is rated to carry the specified load to avoid any damage.
