HEY, what if the back of my unit has no remote turn on thing for my amp? Or do i have to make my own and by that I mean hooking the remote turn on to some wire back there that will turn send the signal to turn on the amp? I’m just conjecturing here...

go buy a toggle switch that you don't have a problem looking at when you mount it somewhere in your dash, and connect it to any constant 12v line under the dash, preferably the acc that your head unit attatches to, i'm suprised there isn't a seperate one coming out the back of the stereo....

it should be a blue wire off your deck. if not you can always just run a wire off your fuse panel very easily.

all the + together and all the - together.

the two 4 ohm coils on each sub in parallel make each sub a 2 ohm load.

those two subs in parallel would then make a 1 ohm load.

Kinda confused because my subs have two plus and two minus connections and so does the amp... soooo

just gotta run wires to connect all the positive terminals together, then do the same with the negative terminals...exactly like in the picture on your post

EDIT: nevermind, i see what you are saying....is your amp stereo or monoblock?

EDIT #2: nevermind i found the page, its monoblock, which means both positive terminals are connected inside of the amplifier...so you can use one or the other or both, because they all come together eventually anyways...you can run one sub off of each positive terminal if ya want, then just wire the two positive terminals on the subwoofer together and you will be set....do the same with the neg terminals
