Im installing my amp and sub right now but have a problem. I have a Directed Audio 1500D amp which is supposedly a mono amp but it has two positive and two speaker outputs! even on their site it says mono. How the hell do I wire this thing?



Im wiring the woofer for two ohms. But how do i wire it to the amp when it has 2 outputs for the positive and negative ?

if you're going to wire it up by that picture, you will just use one set of terminals on that amp

almost every mono amp out there has two sets of terminals...reaosn being, it makes it easier to shove wire off into the terminal when you have multiple speakers

make sense?

If the amp is bridgable then it should tell you which two terminals to connect it to. What type of amp is it???

but in my case, if you look at the picture, on the left my amp has two positive and two negative sub outputs. How should I go about wiriing it though?

so if i just use one set of terminals (one positive and one negative) I will still be getting all of my power? It rated at 800watts @ 2 ohms My sub is Digital Designs 3510 if that helps

RedGTiVR6

yes - you will be getting all of your power

like I said - they provide the multiple inputs becase trying to shove off multiple wires in a single amp terminal is a PITA!

so then why do you have a picture of a fosgate sub if neither your sub or your amp are fosgate?

The outputs you want to use are the Outtermost neg(-) and pos(+)

how the hell do you bridge a mono amp?

mono = 1 channel

how do you BRIDGE one channel?

lmao. the 2 sets of terminals are BRIDGED INTERNALLY. it's easier for wiring multiple speakers. and yes you'll still be getting full power with one speaker. if you had 2 speakers each speaker would divide the power and so on. and the wiring diagram was used to indicate the VC configuration of his sub, not necessarily implying he has fosgate stuff. fosgate and jl all have wiring diagrams (using their logos obviously) but it's all the same concept.
