oh god.. hurry and undo one side before you fuck something up if you haven't yet..

how would that mess it up? and its been running like that for over 3 months.

not the - and + that are right next to each other. the - on the left is hooked to the + on the right and the - on the right is hooked to the + on the left. the the negative on the right is going to the amp and the + on the left is going to the amp.

like that

it shouldn't be like that.. it should be a + from one coil to the negative on the other coil and then the negative from the first coil to the amp - and the positive from the 2nd coil to the positive on the amp. the way you have it I am surprised it hasn't done anything wrong yet or made it play funny

idk i had a pre made box/ amp/ sub before this. and this sub sounds fine to me but thats all relative i guess. so it should be + to + and - to - then run a + and a - to my amp for 1 ohm. correct?

if you are dropping to 11s there is a MAJOR ISSUE on 300 watts.. try fixing the wiring and keep it at ACTUAL 4 ohms not what you have now and tell me what happens then..

okay i was running 350 before. but i have an 80a alt. so it makes sense that I'm dropping bad.

normally i don't get below 12.8 but on bass nectar and other actual low heavy bass songs ill start dropping
