[QUOTE="ultimate157, post: 7466948, member: 566638"] Did any of you guys even read the original post? A bridged 2-channel amp is almost always good for 4-ohm operation at the lowest (Save for certain high quality, high power amps that are 2ch 1-ohm stable in stereo) Therefore he has chosen the correct impedance to run, 8-ohm. Dropping to 2-ohm would probably fry the amp. Now, talking speaker wire size: 16 gauge is good for ~13amps. Lets just say an amp is good for 400w @ 4-ohm bridged. That's only 10A of current. (Pure sine wave at full volume) ... Which is lower than 16 gauge's rated current capacity. So everyone suggesting to only use 12ga, or bigger... Wow. You need to know the specifics of each setup to properly recommend speaker wire size. To answer your question, speedyturtle, just connect the + of one coil to the - of the other coil with the same size speaker wire you are using. [/QUOTE]
