Cool ok..

In this diagram, I ll have to hook up a speaker wire from one sub to another sub and get another speaker wire and put it in the another sub, and the other end to the amp... correct?

RF wouldn't have published the diagram if it was wrong.

I use wire nuts to make the + + and - - connections. that way there is only 1 + and 1 - wire coming from the amp.

I think it's important to wire the subs the same way also.

wire nuts? whats that?

You just twist them on the wires, it'll hold the wires together and also insulate them.

Nooo, don't use wire nuts. They can come loose with vibration. Do yourself a favor and get some crimp butt connectors (can be purchased cheap at Fleet Farm). Or solder the wires together and heat shrink or liquid electrical tape over the connection. Wire nuts are for home electrical, not mobile. Just my opinion though.

decent for short term use, but electrical tape (especially cheaper varieties) does not hold up well under heat or cold nearly as well as heat shrink or liquid electrical tape.

There ya go. I use wire nuts w/o problems in a 154db daily driver. DD recommends wire nuts. I have yet to hear of anyone's wire nuts 'falling off'. (that sounds kinda funny) I have direct connect subs, the OP may not. Wire nuts allow you to change wiring w/o cutting though.

Haha, that does sound funny. To each their own. I just like to make my stuff as clean as possible and not skimp on the little details. I like to have peace of mind.

What about wiring a single dual 2 ohm FI into 2 ohm? The only other coil option FI has is dual 1 ohm....

dual 2 = 1 and 4 ohm

dual 1 = .5 or 2 ohm

still usin the ssd?!
