How to Literally Wire a Sub.

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Ok, I'm not sending in my sub to a shop to get wired and set up, so I am going to do it on my own.

I have a dual 2 Napalm coming to me and I want to wire it in parallel down to 1ohm. The wiring guide is kind of confusing. What do I literally do with the wire? Do I stuff the wire into the opposite coils of the same charge (+ to +, - to -)? What wires do I run to my amp from my sub?

Thanks.

From the same voice coil for this part right?

How much wire do you need to shove up into the terminal?

pick a side man. i usually go opposite of eachother but it doesnt matter since both sides are getting equal power. what do you mean how much wire? like what gauge? if so i would go no less than 14gauge

I mean where you take off the shield and wrapping of the wire put the actual copper into the terminal. How much (long) wire should you put in the terminal.

if you can't wire up a sub you have no business even trying, take it to a shop since this seems over your head.
