ill try

get some short lengths of 12g speaker wire, connect each VC + and- to oneanother. then pick either VC and bring it to the amp. so your going to connect 1 VC to the amp and the other VC to the one that is connected to the amp. do this to both subs since your amp has 4 speaker inputs. parallel/parallel- each sub will be wired at 2ohms then combined at the amp to get 1 ohm.

if you dont understand what im saying hopefully someone else could post up a diagram

are you talking about something like this is this the right way if so do i hook up the + and - to just one of the sub box connecter from inside

that will work, but u have 2+ and 2- speaker inputs on your amp so it may be easier than trying to put 3 wires in a spring terminal.

all postives(4) and all negatives(4) have to be connected to your amp. im probably just confusing u so just go with the crutchfield diagram.

so if i do like that diagram ontop suds should push 600 watts each a total of 1200 watts

Edit : @ SMS you said but u have 2+ and 2- speaker inputs on my amp yeah its does how would i hook up the + and - to the amp if i do it like this diagram ontop

Edit : SMS was this what you were telling me to do on your frist post here
