V-1 Bass Section
« on: 21 Jan 2010, 06:20 pm »
I am working on a V-1 build and I have a question about the bass section connections.  I would like to go ahead and purchase the connectors needed for the bass section unbilical, unfortunately I have not seen a wirig diagram so I am uncertain whether each driver pair uses a single pair of wires for the servo or if each driver in the pair gets a seperate servo connection.  One scenario would require a 6 wire umbilical, the other would require a 4 wire umbilical.  Any recommendation as to a decent connector would be appreciated as well.

Best,
Ed

Depends if you want to run separate wires for each driver, or one set (+/- servo and +/- speaker =4 individual wires) and then route them between the 2 drivers (for one side)...

I chose to run one set up to the cabinet, then wire it between the 2 drivers.
I used 4 pole speakon connectors from parts express, and bought a custom length "pro" cable for it. I have the amps close to my electonics, and run cable to the drivers. So it was a clean way to run wiring for mine, but a bit pricey.

Thanks for the reply.  Per your comment I can use a single pair for the feedback, that is what I was unsure of.  I will simply parallel the drivers at the speakers and run two pair of cables.

Thanks again,
