Installation
Your RCW12.D2 subwoofer has a dual 2
ohm voice coil. How to connect the
subwoofer depends on what type of amplifi-
er you use and it´s optimum load. The best
way to do a correct connection is to follow
the instructions given in the manual for the
amplifier. Most amplifiers today have
built-in low pass crossover and possibilities
to connect your subwoofer in bridge mode.
When designing a subwoofer system,
consider the following:
Subwoofers being used in the same
enclosure or powered by the same
amplifier should be identical. Do not use
different types of subwoofers that will
play in the same frequency range.
If you are designing a multiple sub-
woofer system, be sure to configure the
subwoofers so that they each receive the
same amount of power from the amplifi-
er.
Do not mix serial and parallel connected
woofers, voice coils or pairs. If you plan
to use an odd number of subwoofers, be
sure to connect all the woofers in either
series or parallel connection.
For wiring, use high class speaker wires,
min AWG13 (2.5 mm²).

Warning! Do not expose your amplifier to
loads below the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations. Below you will find some examples
of different wiring schematics. Use the
following examples to determine the
required impedance load of your connec-
tion.
