Also, I don't quite get the "wiring wizard". My P3 has the voice coils with the terminals opposite on each side. I'm wiring both to one amp, to create a 2ohm load. How do I go about that? Positive lead to #1 voice coil positive, and then Negative lead to #2 voice coil negative?


If the sub is DVC w/ 4ohms/coil and the amp is 2-ohm stable in mono, do the following:

(+) out from amp to (+) #1
(-) out from #1 to (+) #2
(-) out from #2 to (-) amp

Distortion kills a speaker more than supplying too much power.

x3, like Krash and sonny have said....

Make sure you adjust your amp accordingly, cause, chances are, even with the P3 sub, you can still blow that. The gain shouldn't really be above 50%, distortion, please don't use that as a volume! (along with any bass boost or stuff like that found on the amp)

thanks so much man! I honestly couldn't have done it without you!

The P3 sounds very good, crisp and clear. Just need a tad larger amp for it.

if you don't mind Brett PM me your # again and I will call you when I get there and give you some options and prices.... I think I'm going to put a small system in my Egg while I'm there,,,, .. but I won't put anything else but Boston Acoustics... once you go highend nothing else will just do..
not to take away from all the others but it's all preference. besides #'s don't lie only opinions
