[vandiar2 10+ year member]

Hey yall.. gotta quick one. when im wiring a 2 dual voice coil 4 ohm speakers after I run a wire from positive of first coil, to pos on second coil and then for second sub pos on 1st coil neg to 2nd voice coil neg.. now my question is.. when I wire them to the box (box has terminals for disconnect terminals) do I go positive from first coil and then negative from SECOND coil to the terminals. I have a sundown amp that is 1 ohm stable of course. has 2 sets of inputs for ease of wiring parallel. thanks guys.

hook the +- on each subs vc to one another now hook that sub the the amp if it d4 it will be at 2ohms and by adding the second one the same way it will go from 2ohms down to 1ohm

right .. but that is not the question that I am asking. I have the coils wired correctly. pos to pos, neg to neg. hooking it up to the box is what I am asking. In the box that I have there is 2 female terminals on each side for male disconnect terminals. now, do I go positive from the first coil and the negative from the second coil to the female terminals? or do i just go pos from the first coil, and negative from the first coil. that is what I am asking.

Yes go positive from the first coil and the negative from the second coil to the female terminals. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=4

thanks! yeah i got everything hooked up today. lot of work.. but boy does it pay off. i have a ground loop though. need to figure out how to fix it. need to tune my amps too. the sundown is not tuned right by any means but it still slams.
