heh...embarassing noob question

huh...so ive built my sub box and everything...but as i went to wire the speakers i realize that ive only ever wired svc subs and one dvc sub, and it was wired in series....i have 2 4ohm dvc subs that i want to wire in parallel...and i put 2 wiring terminals in the box, 1 for each sub...which i assumed would work because there are 2 +'s and -'s terminals on the amp (mono amp)...but then i was looking at other peoples setups and wiring diagrams, and they seem to have both subs running on one terminal...

also, im not sure how to use the wires for the parallel wiring....like for each sub it has to have the wire going to each + on each coil of the sub, and vice versa...but im not sure how to do that with just one wire per sub...or do i have to have more...or what....

yaya, i know that much...but i mean from the diagram...would i need 2 speaker wires for each speaker? if not how would i get the + part of 1 wire to go to each + on each voice coil....

and can i use both terminals to the amp

both + and - terminals from the amp are connected inside the amp.

they just give you 2 terminals for the neg and pos, for easyer hookups when your

using more than one sub.

you split the wire, so you have a single strand, and you use that pice, just as it shows on teh diagram.

ook, so i got the wiring thing down then

and if the +'s and -'s are connected in the amp then i can use both terminals correct?

yea just imagine its, one post for neg and one post for pos.

they just gave you two terminals for a easyer wiring.

you can split or use both.
