SPEAKON Wiring

#1 Post by Joman116 »

Hello All,

I want to ensure I understand the SPEAKON wiring.

In this scenario, let us say I have qty 2 Titan 39. They both have dual speakon jacks as seen in attached image.

Assume they are to be daisy chained from a single amp...does it matter what speakon gets the power from amp and what speakon goes power OUT to the next 39?

Let us assume they are wired correctly per the plan

No difference, they're parallel wired.

No reason to even wire the 2+ and 2-. There is no in or out.....parallel means they are both exactly the same. In fact, you should just use the NL2 connectors on the cables. They are a little cheaper than the NL4.

6 - T39 3012LF
4 - OT12 2512
1 - T24
1 - SLA Pro
2 - XF210

The 2+/2- are there to allow running a single 4 conductor cable to the subs from the amps, and then run cables from the subs to the mains, with the mains using 2+/2-.

Oh yes forgot to mention, these were bought used so it is very possible they are one plus and one minus only, I bought this alongside the amp and the seller told me it was specifically wired to be Daisy chained Subs only.
