How can I tell if my subs are wired in series or parallel?

[QUOTE="Smoothio, post: 8680619, member: 677429"] Okay, so to me it looks like its wired in series-parallel actually but I still cant tell. It has a wire on each sub that connects to a positive and to a negative terminal on one side of the sub, like a jumper. The other side has wires that connect to a positive and negative terminal on the sub and then connect to the leads on the box, on the outside of the box there is a wire that connects the speakers together. It connects both the positive and negative leads from the left speaker to the right speaker and then another wire connects all of the wires from the right speaker to the amp. I believe its getting a 4 ohm load. It seems strange to me for them to wire it for 8 ohms. The speakers bang its not like they are soft or anything. [/QUOTE]
