W6v3 Terminal Jumper System

W6v3 subwoofers are equipped with dual voice coils that MUST be connected correctly to the amplifier (in series or parallel) for the subwoofer to operate properly. See below for details.

Detailed Information

W6v3 subwoofers are equipped with dual voice coils that MUST be connected correctly to the amplifier (in series or parallel) for the subwoofer to operate properly. To accomplish this, each W6v3 features a pair of main input connection push terminals and four voice coil configuration tab terminals. These are located behind the main input connectors and are used to interconnect the dual voice coils in one of two ways:

Diagram A: Series Connection (8 ohm nominal impedance per speaker): Use one jumper from "VC1-" to "VC2+".

A diagram of a parallel connection using two jumpers from "VC1-" to "VC2-"and one from "VC1+" to "VC2+".
A diagram of a parallel connection using two jumpers from "VC1-" to "VC2-"and one from "VC1+" to "VC2+".

Diagram B: Parallel Connection (2 ohm nominal impedance per speaker): Use two jumpers... one from "VC1-" to "VC2-"and one from "VC1+" to "VC2+". This is the way the speaker is configured at the factory.

After verifying that the tabs are properly configured using the supplied jumper(s), connect the amplifier's output wires to the main input push terminals and subwoofer into the enclosure.

Warning: Failure to properly connect the configuration tabs will result in no output and may damage the speaker.
