An extremely stupid question

[itsblown 10+ year member]

Well I have 2 4 ohm single voice coil subs connecting up to a clarionapx1300 amp its a mono block that puts out 400watts at 2 ohm

I understand that to wire 2 4 ohm subs down to 2 ohms you do this

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, Two 4 ohm Single Voice Coil (SVC) Speakers

does that mean I can just put both the positives on 1 positve chanel and both the negatives on 1 negative chanel and achieve the same thing

also what are the percs of gaining 50 extra watts if there is any?

have the speaker wire run from one terminal on the sub to the other, then take another wire from the amp to the same terminal on the second sub, twist them together.

you will probably not hear any difference with only a few watts.

50 watts will not make any difference in most cases

but if you are going from a no name amp that claims "350 watts per channel" and is the size of your phone and comparing it to say a Rockford amp, then yes, you will notice a change.

Just run the wires to the same terminal on the amp or to each respective terminal individually, the load will be the same. I have one of those amps sitting in my bedroom, they are pretty decent and do rated power.
