Connecting 2 subs that are seperated by the ports

[shaneb 10+ year member]

The box only has two terminal cups? That's all you need? Run jumpers from one set of coils to the other and then to the cups, then wire both subs to the amp, you can fit two wires on each terminal on the amp.

If you are saying it only has one terminal cup, cut a hole on the other side and put a second cup in.

what do you mean by external jumpers?

A wire going from one - to the other positive... basically like jumpers on the sub itself, except external.

its ok to run 2 sets of wires on one terminal...?

like the "banana cable" that came with the subs? short little 4 inch or so wire that u use to bridge?

Alpine MRP-M1000

in that case, run a dedicated + and - from each sub and connect them at the amp.

i meant a diagram with the original problem of how to connect it using only 2 terminal cups and not runnig the wires thru the box since i have the port walls dividing them

the diagram is using 2 terminals.

yes but the wires are being run thru the box as if theres no wall is what i mean, is there a way to re wire it using 2 terminals to not have to drill a hole in the box to connect the 2?

the subs are in no way connected in that pic until they get to the amp:fyi:

one terminal for each sub in the box, then paralleled at the amp

take the positive and negative wires of one sub through one of the terminal cups and then to the speaker outputs on the amp.

then repeat for the second sub. with the positive and negative for that speaker going through the other terminal cup and then put them into the speaker inputs of the M100.

you will have a set of speaker wires for each sub. twist the positive's together and twist the negatives together and then insert into their respective speaker outputs on the amp.
