[QUOTE="super_kev, post: 298428, member: 546683"] Parallel? Yep, I think so... 1 2 3 4 spk. spk. | + | + \ + | + \ + | + \ + / + \ /+ \ / + \/ + | + | + amp Like that... and that's bad then. How bad? I'm going to rewire the speakers so each has it's own channel. Also, with the subs, I wired them the same way to the RF 300x1@2ohm mono block. I wasn't sure how to wire the subs (4 Ohm Kenwoods, 150W ea.) into 2 Ohm since they are in a box that has a divider between the speakers, and each speaker has it's own hookups on the side of the box. I should have hooked up wire 1 (see diagram above) to the amp, and wires 2 and 3 together, and then wire 4 to the amp for a 2 Ohm load, correct? So if wires 2 and 3 go together, can I take a wire and wire it from the outside to the - on sub 1 and then to the + on sub 2? Or should I figure out how to get a wire through that divider in the box?
