the correct order is:

radio(head unit) to amp to speaker

are you talking about subs? (800w speakers)

if so tell me what you have (subs-amps-head unit) and i will tell you how to hook it up.

give me as much info as possible, i.e., brand, model, specs.

i have a 1800 watt 4 channel pyramid amp that im hooking up 2 audio bahn 450 watt subs, and i have 2 6x9 audio bahn speakers (400 watts each)

Ok basically most head units have pre-outs little rca plug ins that go to your amp for radio signals. Then you send you amp wires to you battery, gorund, remote ect.. Then just wire up your subs and you ready will go into more deatil if needed.

so i just hook up the speakers to the amp channel... and they will play the vocals and music?

Ok see you just replyed ok need to know what your subs are single voice coil or dual and is your amp 2 ohm stable and are your subs 2 or 4 or 8 ohm?

when u say coil i think i know what you are talking about.. each sub has 2 negatives and 2 positves... 1 on each side...

ok heres how i would wire up your subs and amp takeone sub take a speaker wire from one of the plus's on one sub to another and the same with the negitive then bridge your amp and you will have a 2ohm load and this is called wiring in parrlell. Now if you need anymore help ask back and i will tell you.
