i have 2 S10L7 4ohms and just got a new KX1200X1. kind of new at this so there is only 1 speaker wire input/ouput for + and - from the subs. do i just put both +'s into 1 and the other -'s into the other? and do i have to wire them different b/c its stable at 1ohm from the other sony 1200x1 i had before(i mean wire the subs themselves on the back different)?

you wire them in parallel. read the sticky in the wire forum. positive on amp to 1 positive on would sub, then from there to the other positive. same with negarive. do that for both subs

go to rockfordfosgate.com and look up their wireing diagram. very easy to use.

ok so so i want to follow the 2 subs (4ohm DVC speakers at a 1ohm load?) do i just twist the + wires from the 2 subs togehter and crimp them or do i use 2 seperate wires? becuase i had it wired up last time at a local audio shop, maybe i shoudl just go back to them.

do exactly what the top one says to get a 1 ohm load, and nice setup.

before you spend tons of money on those two, do the big 3 and see how much of a difference that makes, then go get yourself like a HO 180 amp alt or something

loud u think? i cant hear out of my left ear! its like perfect rihg behing my seats, now i got hte 1200x1 @ 1 ohm stable. i think its wired good, i just had a left and a right speaker input on my friends p.o.s. sony1200x1 that was runnin it and it was still loud in that nice compact space. could it be wired right anyway? i just took both Right and Left +'s and both Right and Left -'s and crimped/twisted em nice and tight and just put em in. HOLY shit my roof is flexing by inches!

did you click the link i posted, its pretty self explanitory

yea i looked at the link. so do u strip a section of the wire so the 2+'s go to the same wire? this is kind of a new thing and i dont want to sound like a dumb ***. how speaker wires total do i use? also the speaker wire gauge is like 10 or 12. can i get lower gauge speaker wire for the subs? would that make a lot of difference?
