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

[QUOTE="Smoothio, post: 8680656, member: 677429"] Yeah its getting expensive lol. I got the optima red top cost me like $300. I bought a new alternator but didn't do enough research because it doesn't have enough amps (I went from 105 to 125) for $200. Subs, 4 front speakers and sub amp were about $400-$500. Got the DX874 amp to power the front speakers because it wasn't balanced enough it was like $250. Bought better quality kicker ks 6.5 speakers to handle the 100w rms from the amp (I had bought the cheaper kicker ds 6.5 speakers from walmart for $45 bucks and the KS are a lot better for balance) they were like $100. I'm not sure if my wiring will be good if I add a bigger amp. Right now I believe it's 4 AWG. I had to get the wiring installed and all of that **** too because I just dont have time due to work plus the headunit I bought I don't even really want to add it all up. I'm kind of too far gone now though lol, and I'm addicted to sound. Especially deep bass. So I want to see what I can do. I'm really not sure what route to take here I'll have to think about it. I'm not sure if I want to get a huge amp that will do 800w at 4 ohms, get a 1 ohm stable amp and rewire the subs, or just buy a better pair of 2 ohm subwoofers and keep the 1000w kicker amp that I got. Maybe just get the 2 ohm kicker compVRs, sell the 4 ohms pair to someone and wire them the same in the same box, might be easier for me. It's all going to cost lol. I'll probably go ahead and buy another alternator that does at least 190+ amps since it seems like I need it regardless. Otherwise I need to think more I don't want to make another costly or bad purchase if I can help it. [/QUOTE]
