Just need some quick help with sub wiring.

Okay, I'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to car systems, but this is my problem.

I had a kicker zx750.1 amp, and 2 kicker comps, everything worked great until the subs blew.

Now, I bought two pioneer premier's that im going to just install myself, since everything is already wired in my car and all I have to do is wire the subs in the box.

I don't understand OHM's at ALL.

The question is, how do I wire it? I went out and bought some 18 gauge speaker wire to bridge the subs since there DVC. Will this wire work?

If that wire works, should I wire them like this? http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2DVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg

Here's a drawing of how it was hooked up previously, and how I plan on doing it.

Basically, just tell me if this is what I should do or not, or can I just keep the wires the way they are (two in each terminal on the amp) and bridge the subs like in the picture?

help!

 
ok men, first of all , are your new sub. dvc 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm

if they are dual 4 ohm you can go 1 ohm but your amp is 750 at 2 ohm so its your choise

or you do this for a final 4 ohm but your amp will run 375 rms
