Need wiring help! Is this a one Ohm load?

[AwesomeStranger 10+ year member]

I have two sa-8 v2's wired up like this. Is this right for 1 ohm load? Dual 4 ohm subs.

The way I have things wired looks different from this diagram below:

Should I have two single wires one negative coming out then one positive coming out? Right now I only have two wires + and a - plugged to my amp. This seems wrong to me. I don't have three wires in any of the terminals like shown in the diagram online for the first sub.

Thanks for the read if you can help me that would be awesome. Hopefully I have it wired up right cause mdf is a pain to keep screwing into and out of.

for a 1ohm load simply wire all your speaker +'s together to the + on the amp and the same with the -'s

clear ur PMs

jumper wire between each of the 2 positives on the voice coils;

same for the negatives;

then a jumper to tie the 2 speakers' positives together;

same for the negatives;

finally, a single wire from the + on the amp to any of the 4 positives on the speakers;

same for the -

So i have it wired up right? As the first picture. Does it matter which possitive/negitive the amp is hooked up too? Like i have the subs wired togther then on the left sub I just have one side of terminals + and - to the wire going to amp. Should I have a wire going from both posstives on each sub to amp same for negative?

As long as you have a wire jumping from a negative and positive of each coil to the other side and then that wire to the amp you are fine. I can't see you pic so I can't tell what you have going on. You need to have all coils hooked up. Just wire it exactly like the diagram shows....

You should be able to see the picture. I have each sub ++ then -- then in the middle of the subs one +/+ then -/- to connect the subs. Then on only one side of the first sub I have - and a + wire going to my amp. I don't have three wires going into any of my sub terminals.

This is how I have them wired.
