YukonDCXL Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have my two DC 3.5 ks strapped and wanted to know if I'm doing something right. I am only utilizing one of the positive speaker wire inputs on each amp... Is that okay or should I have a speaker wire going into each spot because don't they connect together internally anyways?

Awhitewookie Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have both neg connected but only 1 pos on each amp for the speaker.

Swampy Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 my thread right under yours in the amplifier section has a picture that someone did in paint for me that might help you. different amps, but same basic info. I don't claim to know how to solve anything, I just practice the basics. There is nothing worse than wasting hours over a problem that should have taken 5 mins. Anything I post and claim to know, I know simply because of a lesson learned from a mistake on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonDCXL Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 That's exactly how I have mine and it seems to be working fine. I don't even see the point in connecting both negatives but that's how I have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonDCXL Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 ^ yeah your thread is what made me ask this question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 You can use both positives if you want, i use only one positive on each but i have 8ga on a pair of 1500's so that is plenty. I do have two 8ga grounds connecting the amps though. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

YukonDCXL Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Cool sounds like we all did it the same. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonDCXL Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I use 8g also and from my box wired on the inside with two runs to each terminal bolt inside and from out side the wire only travels 2 inch's to amp. If that even made since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
