Did I wire these up right?

I just wired up my two 8 ohm subwoofers in enclosure by wiring both the subs together as in + to + and - to - on the subs hooked them into the terminals and then from the terminals hooked the + wire to + on amp and - to - on amp. Reason I did this is because amp is a 4 ohm amp I was told this should work.

Heres an illustration.

There's not much we can assume you did wrong without telling us more specs on your equipment...

But yes, if your equipment is two SVC8 subs and a two channel amp bridged, yes, that's correct. What, did you think Crutchfield was lying to you?

Just making sure I did it right its my first time installing a system. Just keep getting confused with words like parallel and series . yeah they are two svc 8 ohm JL12w1v2's hooked up to a visonik 2 channel amp. Hopefully I can get them going by friday.

Well that's what the diagram is for, it's not going to lie to you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Yes, because more two channel amps bridged only go down to 4 ohm, then wiring your two SVC8's in parallel will bring them down to a total 4 ohm load, perfect for running the amp bridged.

Got the subs and amp hooked up today at a shop. These JL's sound awsome. Bass is real precise, strong.
