Strange, 4 wires?

 

[2010cobalt]

yea 4 two red two black..the guy said one set pos/negative for power the the pos/neg for speaker?

 

[YelloEye]

Looking at the service book 3 of them are pos.

ok anyway you can tell me how I hook it up? do I just splice it into the wires that are running into the back along side the driverside trunk? I think they are break/tail light wires im at a loss

You won't have the wires back there, also probably missing the amp.

Just wait you'll you get back and do a little more research so you get it right the first time.

theres no power all wires are speaker. amp is in the front of the car and runs all the speakers not just the sub

its a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub, one set of red/black per coil

these wires dont splice into anything without an amp it wont work. buying a stock amp is a nightmare and stupid so buy a lil amp for it 2 channel and run it at 4 ohms bridged and ur done

i have a dual coil audiobahn sub... is it better to run it bridged or run the pos / neg to each coil?

Thanks!

Bridged, that way you don't have the voice coils fighting when the stereo channels aren't the same.

yup, you also want to make sure its a d2. if its a d4 then ud want to look at mono amps @ 2 ohm
