Jack 12 DPDT switch diagram

#1 Post by Kirk Baptista »

First off, sorry if this is here somewhere, but after two days of searching, I couldn't find it...

Can someone point me towards the wiring diagram for a Jack 12 w/18 melded array with DPDT switch?

I have the tweeter diagram (in the plans) and I understand wiring them up, but I don't get how to wire them to the switch to achieve the all on/half on/ all off configuration. I've seen all sorts of posts referring to it, but not the actual diagram itself.

Thanks!

Ok,

After wiring it this way, tweeter 1 works in the up position, nothing works in the center, but nothing works in the bottom position either. If I am reading the diagram right, and we label the terminals as follows:

1 2
3 4
5 6

There are jumpers between 2-4 and 1-6?
Both Amp in + and Tweeter 2+ go to terminal 5?
Only the jumper goes on 6, no other leads?

I'm trying to figure this out, but it's making my brain hurt.

I wish I could give the picture from David Carter but I'm having troubles in trying to do it.

Here it is, but I honestly think that the other images here are more helpful because mine doesn't show the actual terminal layout on the back of the switch. Also, keep in mind that this image was for a Omni 10 (similar to a Jack 210), and there are two switches shown--one for the piezo array and one for series/parallel wiring on the 2510's.

Built:
- Omni 10 (S2010 + piezo array)
- 2 x DR250 (DL II 2510 + melded array)
- 2 x Titan 39 (BP102 - 14"W)
- 2 x Titan 39 (3012LF - 20"W)
- 4 x DR200 (Delta Pro 8B + melded array)

OK so I was obsessing a little about this wiring diagram, and I actually came up with a solution very similar to Harley's, but not nearly as well drawn.

Thanks Harley! One less hurdle. I may actually get to hear these things soon!

And thanks to Tom, Leland, and David for the help. I think this thread may help some other poor unfortunate souls.
