Infinity amp to OEM subwoofer wiring question
Infinity amp to OEM subwoofer wiring question
I am looking to use my Infinity Kappa Five amp to drive my OEM Sony subwoofer. I am struggling to find the inputs to the OEM sub as it looks like it has two sets of + and - leads on the sub itself. I know I will need to be gentle on it, but I am just looking for a little more Bass out of my system. I have a MTX RE Q5 that I am using for my inputs to the amp. Thanks!
The subwoofer has two sets of +/- leads because it is a dual voice coil sub.

I'm not sure what impedance the factory subwoofer coils are. Use a DMM to measure the impedance of ONE set of the +/- leads.
Once you figure out if its a Dual 1ohm, Dual 2ohm or Dual 4ohm sub you need to look up the correct way to wire it for your amp.
