I have successfully wired up one of these subs as the wiring came undone after all these years...

I only had one wire I could not be sure of since it was disconnected on both subs --

It is the white inductor - the lead connected to the red wire currently. It is the only wire I saw that had an indention where a wire had been...

Thoughts?

I also sent Ty a message but I really wanted to get these wired back up tonight. I had no idea both subs did not work

    It puts out 5.5 ohms - but there are 4 8 ohm woofers?

    Just doing a quick trace --

    Bottom terminal + to large iron core inductor to positive speaker terminals and capacitor to ground

    Top terminals has wires that go to the top terminals above for tweeter bypass wiring

    The second set of wires from the top terminal is as follows...

    Positive to cap to inductor and positive wire (that goes to the terminals up top that lead to the midbass) to ground.

    Shooting for worse schematic drawing ever here --

    I think it is wired up right - it makes bass... but it immediately sends me receiver into protect mode... and I mean as soon as it hits higher volumes. Which is odd. But it is below the ohm load and power the receiver can put out

    A 8ohm woofer can have a DCR under 6ohms. Crossover components in the circuit can also affect the DCR. As for the rest of your wiring, I'm too buzzed to examine it at the moment. :biggrin:
