Wiring diagram for Pioneer TS-W3004SPL subwoofers.Drawing too much power at 1 ohm. Trying to wire to higher ohm just not positive how to.Wanting a second opinion.

Check crutch fields website for sub wiring.

wiring depends on what amplifier you're using..

The TS55 is a DVC subwoofer that can be wired for either 4 ohms (voice coils in series) or 1 ohm (voice coils in parallel). The appropriate wiring depends on the amp.

If the amp is stable at 1 ohm, wire both positives and both negatives to the matching amp output terminal (parallel) as shown in Wiring Option #1.

If the amp isn't stable at 1 ohm, connect a jumper between the positive on one voice coil and the negative on the other voice coil. Then connect the remaining positive and negative to the matching amp output terminal (series) as shown in Wiring Option #2.

what amp? the speaker wiring depends on the ohmage rating of the amp. if the amp is 2 ohm stable, then you can hook 2 TS-W304C's up to it, both positive leads from the speakers attached to the amp positive, and both negative speaker leads connected to amp negative. this is called parallel wiring, and it reduces the ohmage (resistance) down to 2 ohms. your speakers are 4 ohms, and 2x4 ohm speakers in parallel makes it equal 2 ohms. if your amp is only 4 ohm stable, then you will only be able to hook up one of your speakers to it.

go to goolge or youtube and type that in and it should give it to u

Any burning smell, is a sure sign of a short circuit, if you are unable to physically dismantle the unit, my STRONG suggestion is to replace it ASAP.

I have heard of (not experienced) short circuits causing localised wiring damage, and too the extreme fires,

I hope this helps

Yes - your voicecoil is damaged.
The smell you experienced was the protective rosin around the voicecoil melting.
Fading in and out is likely the amplifier's protection when the subwoofer's coil grounds out to the polepiece.

Check the impedance of each coil using a multimeter. this will give you a definite answer if the coil is in fact blown.

Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

If you have two subs to connect, place the speakers next to each other face down, you will notice that the connection points run in sequence +- and +-. Now connect the - (negative) from the one speaker, to the + (positive) of the other speaker. Now connect the open + from the one speaker and the open - from the other speaker to your amp.
If you have only one speaker it should be bridgeson your amp.
Your amp should have a bridging indication. On the connection points of each channel on the the amp, you should see a mark pointing to the first - and the last +. That will be your bridge

you are probably looking at a dual voice coil subwoofer. This means you have many options of wiring in series/parralel/or bridged parralel. Go to either www.the12volt.com or crutchfield's learning center in order to figure out what your options are. Then you need to find out what ohm your subwoofers and what ohm your amp is stable at.

Are they single or dual voice coil? Ohms?
