If you are a music fanatic and if you have an ear for quality music then having a good quality dual sub-woofers connected to your car`s audio system is the best way to bring the best out of your audio system. This article will guide you on how to wire dual sub woofers. Having a good wiring is an important part of having a good car audio system. There are two common ways of making wiring connection and I am going to explain both types of wiring system.

The process is very simple and easily followable. The process will obviously require woofers. The amplifier will be connected to the subwoofers using speaker wires. The following paragraphs will discuss on the steps involved in this process.

First the sub woofers impedance or resistance has to be checked. Sub woofers with various impedance values are available in the market but the most common resistance present in the sub woofers are the 2 ohm and 4 ohm. Of these two types, 4 ohm sub woofer is the most common type and the following steps are explained keeping a 4 ohm sub woofer in mind.

The woofer has to be wired to amplifier through the channels. The ends of the wires are stripped and made ready for the connections. The positive of the woofer is connected to the amplifiers right positive.Similarly the negative of the subwoofer is connected to the amplifiers right negative. The left channel is connected to the other woofer by similar methods.

The positive wires are then connected to the positive terminal and in the same way the negative terminals connected with the negative wires. That is in general corresponding connections between sub woofer input and the amplifiers are made. These steps are repeated with the amplifier’s left channels and the second sub woofer.

The second method for wiring a sub woofer is to wire a dual subwoofer to a single channel amplifier. Now remove about 0.5 inch of insulation from the ends of the wire. Now take the wire from the positive terminal of the amplifier is connected to the positive terminal of the first sub woofer. Now take the second wire from this terminal and connect it to second sub. Repeat this step with the negative terminals. This method of wiring is termed as “daisy-chaining”.

Now check the connection by playing a music track. If the bass quality is not good then you might have connected a negative to a positive terminal. This type of connection will result in reducing the sound output.

We must realize the fact that people look for the exact feel of music. Music is used to treat certain kinds of diseases. In these cases even a small disturbance may bring a lot of effect on the individual. Modern technology has made components which will make even the most lowest level of music to be heard crystal clear. Subwoofer comes under such an invention which will make us hear the bass types of music. Thus this article on how to wire dual woofers will be very useful for beginners who are in need of it.
