Did I wire my subs right?

For connecting two 4ohm subs at a 1 ohm load, the diagram shows both +'s of one sub being connected and I think both -'s of the other being connected. Do I just use a jumper to connect them?

If you have 2 subs that are single voice coil at 4 ohms. oyu cannot reach a 1ohm load to the amp. 2 ohms would be the lowest you could get.

If there Dual 4 then wire all the + to the + on the amp and like so with -.

if single 4 then you will get a final load of 2ohms.

use the alpine jumpers individually on each sub, then make a jumper(s) to connect the 2 subs together.

Are they SVC or DVC? FYI.....SVC 4ohms will wire down to 2ohms when wired in parallel as you described.

If DVC 4ohm subs then wire like this:

i usually split some speaker wire apart, and use a single strand to run from one terminal to the other.
