I bought a Kicker S12L7 a while ago, and need to wire it up for my install. There are 4 speaker connections on the outside of it 2 red and 2 black. 1 red has a white dot on it, and so does one of the black connections.
I'm gonna hook it up to my amp which is this - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1001
Basically what i want to know, is which connections go where? My Audiobahn just has 2 speaker outs but this has 4 so
Its a dual 2 ohm version if that makes a difference.
Any help appreciated (i really wanna get this going 2 day if poss)

Thats a four channel amp, you need two channels! Its VERY VERY weak for that sub, but anyhow.
You need to bridge two of the channels of the amp so you need to use the pos of channel 1 and the neg of channel two. Leave channel 3&4 alone. Now take wire from pos ch1 from the amp to red with dot on sub, then wire from black with dot on sub to red with NO dot on sub. Then from Black with NO dot on sub to neg on channel2 on amp.
That sub is NO-WAY suited to that amp!! You can use the sub to show the amp either 4ohms or 1ohm. In your case for most power from your amp you should show the amp 2ohms which you CANOT do.
You should look at investing in a NEW 2channel amp OR monoblock which will give out 500wrms at 4ohms or 1ohm (that is a 'bridged' resistance if you use a 2channel amp). Good luck.
