im thinking in series....am i correct??? that would be amp + to VC1+, VC1- to VC2 +, amp - to VC2 - ......i believe that is series...if im right....then im proud cause im getting this wiring thing down....heh....

But wouldn't that knock DOWN the ohmage half? The amp would then be dealin with a 2 ohm load?! I'm not 100% sure though

yes you can wire them to an 8ohm load. i have RF HE2's in my car dual 4 ohm. you can run those subs at either an 8 ohm load or a 2 ohm load. you run them in a series it's 2 ohm's and parallel it's 8 ohms. hell i am running 4 dual 4ohms at a mono 8 ohm load wierd shit huh.

keep it thumpin,

You have it backwards, parallel is a 2 ohm load, series is an 8 ohm load

No problem, just trying to spread the ways of the Jedi (Zane).
