Page 6: Wiring Guidelines
All PowerBass Xtreme subwoofers use dual voice coils. The use of dual voice coils offers you more versatility in system configuration. It is important to know the limits of your amplifier to optimize its performance. It is always better to use your subwoofer in a mono / bridged mode if your amplifier has the capabilities. - Page 7 COMPETITION WIRING DIAGRAM Since the 3XL Super Sub was designed with a Dual 1-ohm voice coil, an ideal competition set-up would be to run a single 1-ohm stable Class D amplifier to each coil (as shown below). While this will give your woofer maximum SPL, it shoud only be attempted by a Certified Installer.

- Page 9 • BANDPASS ENCLOSURE: The most common bandpass enclosure is a combination of a sealed and a vented enclosure working together (4th order or single reflex bandpass system). The rear of the speaker goes into the sealed chamber while the front of the speaker goes into the vented chamber. Because the vent produces all the sound generated from this type of enclosure, sound quality may not be as good as a well-designed ported or sealed design.
