Oh I see, so on the first sub I'll have two wires coming out of each post? One to the amp on each side, and one of each to the post on the other sub?
But won't that give the second sub an alternate route to the amp?


i figure its the same, the power goes from the amp into the first sub, and where the wire from the second subs connects to the first sub, the load hasn't been applied yet
same as going back to the amp

So we're agreeing that the wire from the amp to the first sub is going into the same post that the wire from the first sub to the second sub?

ya, wire from amp to the terminal, and a second wire coming from that terminal going to your second sub
i just used like a small bolt and ring terminals unless you have snap in terminals
(curious if anyone else has seen or used that :D)
i used a a wood screw to make the hole bigger and yet make a partial thread, put the terminals on, and then the not on the bottem

They second sub does not have to be wired to the first sub. You can wire it straight to the sub as well. You will be accomplishing the same thing since you are just rearranging the same node.

These 2 diagrams do the same thing:

Yeah, I have one for each sub right now. I'll have to buy two more.

If I have my subs wired like the second diagram but to two different amps, what's the load?
I thought I was wired to 2 Ohms but maybe not.

if u got a multi meter put it on the ohm reader, that will tell you where you are with your impedence

Multi meters read resistances, not impedences. Impedence changes once you drop a speaker into a cabinet.

Anyhow, wire them all in parallel.

i.e. wire all the +'s together, wire all the -'s together, and then run that to the amp on one wire.
