MPV 5 requires 2ea 12V, up to 35 ah agm or gel batteries. (The ah will vary depending on the brand of battery used). My personal preference is Werker batteries (12V, 35ah agm) at Batteries Plus. If you can get the chair there, they will install them for you and give you a 1 year warranty which is 6 months longer than most.
Chair motors sometimes do not have brake switches. It relies on the gear ratio keeping the chair from moving while not under power. The freewheel lever disconnects the gear box from the motor.
You will need tie downs to the power chair. It is a metal piece the fits over the chair post and sits under the seat and had two metal loops to hook on to. The Hoveround field technician will install it for you.You need to order the tie downs from Hoveround, your insurance will most likely NOT cover the cost.
If you want a 2 ohm total load..wire it from the amp positive(red) to the first coil positive(red) and then to second positive(red). Amp negative(black) to first coil negative(black) and then to second negative(black). This will give you a 2 ohm total load on the amp.
If you are lifting the manual brake levers up but they will not lock into place, there may be an issue with the motors. Check to see if the tires are leaning into or away from the center position, with can indicate a bent frame. If the axle is bent, the brakes will not engage and the motors and/or mounting brackets may have to be replaced.
That sub has dual 4-ohm voice coils. It can be wired either as 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or as 8-ohm.
2-ohm = voice coils in parallel (both positives and both negatives connected to your speaker amp out wires).
4-ohm = use only 1 voice coil (either is OK).
8-ohm = voice coils in series (connect the positive of one voice coil to the negative of the other and connect the remaining positive and negative to your speaker amp out wires).
