Hi  I'm wanting to play this 18 soooo bad but i don't know how to wire it up in the box.




The system is ready to play it



I already have a 15 hittin off the system.  I wired this up prolly back in 2003



I wanna get this Maelstrom mk1 (Adire Audio) moving now



This would be off a 250W Parts Express plate amp that's 4 ohm.



The 18 is dual voice coil.  There's two wire push-button terminals on each side.

Can i get a link to a schematic for this?

Your driver has dual 8Ω coils so wire them like this:

Thank you very much  That's what i'll do     So now i know  my Sub has two eight Ohm Coils.  I'll wire Parallel for a 4 Ohm final load. 

I got a QSC RMX 1450 pro audio amp.  In its bridge mode it does 900 watts to an 8 Ohm load.  I thought that is what the Driver was when i obtained the amp.  i also have an adire audio Tempest in a ported enclosure.  I supposed now i should use the QSC to push both Adire Subs.  That's instead of using the QSC bridged for the 18 and a 250watt parts express plate amp for the 15.

I know this might be bringing it back from the dead, but I wouldn't use both subs. Mixing different size drivers playing the same frequency range is a bad idea.

Not necessarily, Earl Geddes suggests that it's a reasonable solution, especially if that what's available.  But if stating from scratch, then other paths may be better.

In the earlier posts, paralleling voice coils and bridging amps don't mix.
