MTM wiring

googler · 17th August 2005, 04:02 PM

I'm sure this has been answered before but for the life of me couldn't think of a suitable search string.

I am wiring up my MTM now where the Woofers are meant to be wired in parallel. Is there a preferred method of wiring them to the x-over? Shared cable? Two cables of equal length coming off the xo?

I'm sure this is a matter of preference and cable management, but just wanted to know if there was any preferred method out there.

Thanks,
Brad

This is my way:

Take the pos lead to the pos terminal of driver A, then run a wire from there over to the pos terminal of driver B.

Take the neg lead to the neg teminal of driver B, then run a wire from there over to the neg terminal of driver A.

Thanks Cal,

That was how I had originally planned to do it, I wasn't sure if there would be any delay to driver B. Would the extra hop make any audible difference?

Read my post again. The pos lead goes to the driver A first and then to driver B. The neg goes to driver B first then to A.
