DO YOU USE BOTH SPEAKER INPUTS ON YOUR BASS AMPLIFIER?

Let me know in the comments what you do with both positive and negative inputs of your monoblock amps.

Dude. Your shiners are killing me. That neg is about to touch your remote wire. Come on man. Tighten that shit up. 💯👀💯

[timbohall]

Customers used to tell me they want me to bridge it. Instead of arguing I would just move the wires to the outer terminals to make it look like it’s bridged. Thanks for the video.

[LearningFast]

You should use the outside outputs if you are only going to use one set so that it is less likely that the wires will touch each other.

[craiggoodwin]

Thank you for the info bc I was confused as to why there were double inputs. Keep up the great videos and you’ve taught someone who’s been into car audio since the 80’s👍🏾😂😂😂

Dude! I just hooked up my system last night and was wondering this very thing. I got a Rockford R2 500x1 with a 12" CVR 400 watts rms. So far so good. Been watching your videos. Really helpful. Subscribed.

I'm doing an install in my Tahoe and we were just talking about this....thanks for the clarification!

[richardness]

I only use one negative and one positive out of the two sets . Using two DVC 1ohm subs wired to 1ohm

[robbiebooth]

I think it depends on what subs you have and what your desired ohm is. Let's say your 10 in dual voice coil has two 2 ohm VC's. If you run them the way you have it set up your resistance drops to .5 ohms at the amp. If you run a separate wire to each VC then you're still at 2 ohms at the amp. The less resistance you have at the amp dictates the wattage the amp puts out.

[charlesnickell]

You are really good at explaining things so ty

[joshragan]

"Us that know everything"??? If you knew everything you would know that those are outputs not inputs.

[James-idxq]

Agreed if you have 2 subs its better to use all 4 speaker connections on the amp. Also if your box has 2 terminal cups use both of them and they will be less likely to melt than using only 1.

[jamescorfield]

This was exactly what I needed to know

[MadDragon]

People take things way too seriously reading the comments.
He knows those are outputs.
I don't see you making instructional videos.

[Catholic]

I see a little string wire almost touching remote connection. I always take a picture of it and zoom in to make sure no little wire is sticking out.

[MadDragon]

If you are using wire that seems to be too small, run two runs of wire, one to each coil.

[randallp]

Better question is why did they design that amp with the remote beside the ground instead of the power side

[adamwaselich]

What if you have a xfl with prewired terminal wires coming from the speaker?

[jaysmoovever]

thanks for this video man!! much appreciated!!

[MadDragon]

I use both.
Why?
One solid connection from terminal to each of the 4 total speaker leads.
Each wire as big as the amplifier will allow without using a single lead to double lead adapter.
Using one wire to run both coils can overheat the wire if it's too small and the current will be restricted.
All four wires devides that heat in half, and much easier when troubleshooting coil failure.

i run a dual 2 ohm on 8 gauge ofc from amp to sub... this way the power is broken in half between 2 sets of speaker wires
