You then only need 2 conductor cable between amp and 1 sub. -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com
From: JWald on 29 Jan 2010 20:40 I guess I'm stupid. Are you suggesting a re-wire/jumping of the sub input? If so, 1+ to ?

No you don't you can run a 2 condcter from the PLX and make the connections at the sub end of the cable, just connect the pins like I told you. My trouble comes > from the fact that I only have 1 PLX, and therefore cannot run a second > sub. 100% wrong, you just need to learn. > I decided to run both subs with a couple of RMX 2450's at 750w @4ohms. > That would be 1 amp per sub. No reason to do that but if it floats tour boat... Am I completely misunderstanding this? Yup. Just run a standard two conductor wire from each channel of the PLX and connect the pins on a 4 pin at the sub end like I told you positive first woof to positive second woof Neg first woof to neg second woof.

You can do it at the sub input, but you can do it also at the sub end of the cable, inside the Speakon connector. 1+ to 2+ and 1- to 2-. -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com |
