[QUOTE="randymessman, post: 8487120, member: 669378"] So this is my first post in here. I've done quite a bit of research on wiring diagrams in regards to wiring my sub. Currently, I have a kicker DVC 4 ohm 12" sub I'm running off a 2 channel amp that I have bridged. I'm running the wiring in series so my amp is seeing 8 ohms. I have a couple of questions. 1. How the heck do I tell which positive and negative terminal goes to each voice coil? I've looked at the bottom of the speaker and they don't seem to be marked. Not only that, but they are spaced equidistance apart. I looked on the kicker website on their wiring diagrams and tried to wire them accordingly, but their terminals didn't really match up to the picture. 2. In bridged mode I can't go below 4 ohms. So, should I run a sub off each channel with their voice coils wired in parallel @ 2 ohms or should I run the pair off the amp in bridged mode at 4 ohms? thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
