Is my stuff wired wrong???

[Puppet Master 10+ year member]

The guy who wired my system up, wired my subs at 4 ohms, but did it a little bit odd. Instead of running wire from each terminal on the box to a speaker terminal on the amp, he has one wire running to one terminal on the box, and then one from that terminal to the other terminal. Is this wired up right?

So he has one run of speaker wire from the amp to 1 terminal on the box, then a run of speaker wire from that terminal to the other one?

Is your amp a 2 channel or mono?

As long as they are in phase and read the correct ohms on a meter than yes they are wired correctly.

it is a 2 channel amp

Why dont you wire them yourself?

Cause I was a noob at the time, and I had no idea about anything that had to do with car audio. Now that I am getting more knowledgeable about the subject, I want to make sure the guy did it right.

So you have a 2 channel amp and more than likely a pair of dvc 4 ohm subs. Then yes, you can wire + on one sub and - on the other sub as the inputs. A simple test with a meter to verify the load as 4 ohms and a simple pop test with a battery should show that all subs are either in phase or not.
