Hopefully this will come in handy for folks wiring their H/W frame cabinets. Seems to be a need for a reference in regards to wiring the different layouts so figured I'd do a quick write up for each (maybe worth a sticky Danny ? )
In all these configurations, forward woofers are wired in phase, rearward woofers are wired out of phase.
In all cases, driver coils are wired in parallel, servo coils are wired in series.For dialing in your subs once you've got them wired,
here is a handy drawing done by @THROWBACK that will help you keep a record of your settings.
Here is the wiring color coding for the different servo amps:A370PEQRed:+
Black: -
Large pair for driver coil, small pair for servo coil
HX300Black: +
Yellow: -
Due to the HX300's compact size, the wiring had to be small and flexible. IIf not careful, it can be difficult to differentiate between the driver / servo pairs so the driver pair has been wrapped with a black heat shrink.
HX800The HX800 has 2 seperate sets of driver/servo outputs.
Black: +
Yellow: -
Red: +
Black: -
For both sets, large wires to driver coils, small wires to servo coils.
Find the example below that matches the layout you're building and follow the step by step instructions, I'll add some basic diagrams at some point but the instructions should be easy to follow.
DUALS WITH OPPOSED WOOFER (one forward, one backward)Driver CoilsBig red lead from A370 to lower (backward) woofer - driver coil, then from there to upper (forward) woofer + driver coil.
Big black lead from amp to lower (backward) woofer + driver coil, then from there to upper (forward) woofer - driver coil.
Driver coil wiring done.
Servo CoilsSmall red wire from amp to lower (backward) woofer - servo coil.
Run a wire from the lower (backward) woofer + servo coil to the upper (forward) woofer + servo coil
Finally, run the small black wire from the amp to the upper (forward) woofer - servo coil.
Servo coils done.
DUALS WITH BOTH WOOFERS FACING FORWARDDriver CoilsBig red lead from A370 to lower woofer + driver coil, then from there to upper woofer + driver coil.
Big black lead from amp to lower woofer - driver coil, then from there to upper woofer - driver coil.
Driver coil wiring done.
Servo CoilsSmall red wire from amp to lower woofer + servo coil
Run a wire from the lower woofer - servo coil to the upper woofer + servo coil
Finally, run the small black wire from the amp to the upper woofer - servo coil.
Servo coils done.
TRIPLES WITH ONE WOOFER FACING BACKWARDDriver CoilsBig red lead from A370 to lower (forward) woofer ) + driver coil , then from there to middle (backward) woofer - driver coil, then on to upper (forward) woofer + driver coil.
Big black lead from amp to lower (forward) woofer - driver coil, then from there to middle (backward) woofer ) + driver coil. and finally to upper (forward) woofer - driver coil.
Driver coil wiring done.
Servo CoilsSmall red wire from amp to lower (forward) woofer + servo coil.
Run a wire from the lower (forward0 woofer - servo coil to the middle (backward) woofer - servo coil.
Run a wire from middle (forward) woofer + servo coil to upper (forward) woofer + servo coil.
Finally, run the small black wire from the amp to the upper woofer - servo coil.
Servo coils done.
TRIPLES WITH ALL 3 WOOFER FACING FORWARDSDriver CoilsBig red lead from A370 to lower woofer + driver coil, then from there to middle woofer + driver coil, then on to upper woofer + driver coil.
Big black lead from amp to lower woofer - driver coil, then from there to middle woofer - driver coil. and finally to upper woofer - driver coil.
Driver coil wiring done.
Servo CoilsSmall red wire from amp to lower woofer + servo coil
Run a wire from the lower woofer - servo coil to the middle woofer + servo coil.
Run a wire from middle woofer - servo coil to upper woofer + servo coil.
Finally, run the small black wire from the amp to the upper woofer - servo coil.
Servo coils done.
Quds/6-StacksUse either the dual seups above for bottom2 and top 2 woofers of quads or, the triple examples above for bottom 3 and top 3 woofers of 6 stacks..
The bottom 2/3 woofers are powered by one A370PEQ or one of the HX800 modules, the top 2/3 woofers are powered by another A370PEQ or the 2nd module of the HX800.
Use the 4 pole connectors available from Danny to connect the amps to the 4 wires coming from the cabinets.
