W6v3 Terminal Jumper System
Please note that the W6v3 is a dual voice coil driver.
BOTH voice coils must be connected to the amplifier
(in series or parallel) for the speaker 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 shows a series connection
(8Ω nominal impedance per speaker). Diagram B
shows a parallel connection (2Ω nominal impedance
per speaker) and 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 W6v3s
main input push-terminals and install the speaker
into the enclosure.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
Diagram A: Series Connection (8Ω):
Use one jumper from “VC1–” to “VC2+
Warning! Failure to properly connect the
configuration tabs will result in no output and
may damage the speaker.
Diagram B: Parallel Connection (2Ω):
Use two jumpers... one from “VC1–” to “VC2–” and
one from “VC1+ to “VC2+.
* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.
** Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should not be used as a comparison to
other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder” !
*** Re (DC resistance) is measured with the voice coils in series, for parallel-wired specification divide Re by 4. All other
specifications remain the same.
