Observe my wiring

[shava 10+ year member]

This was not meant to be the cleanest job. I want to make sure I have it completely right before I make it nice.

I have an infinity reference 611a mono amp and right now it should be wired for 2ohms I checked. And the way that I have it hooked up now im sure the type R can take more power, but if I bridge it the final ohm load on the amp will be 1ohm right? What would be the best way to wire this and get more power, by the way this amp claims to be only 2ohm stable so I do not want to go below that.

Why is the red wire in ground, and the black wire in +12v?

Normally, when a system is wired up, red wire is +12v hooked to the battery and the black is ground... hooked to a chassis ground.

It's a MONO amplifier... so it doesn't matter. It just has dual output for convenience. Nice try though.

Will that make the ohm load 1 though? And how exactly should I bridge this, I am fairly new to car audio.

Yeah and I know my 12v throws people off, I just did not want to re-drill the hole for the ground again.

Also, what VC configuration is you subwoofer? Dual4ohm or Dual2ohm?

Dual 4-ohm

Forgot to add that..

So, you combined both positives... and both negatives... and then wired it to the amp?

Yeah

this depends on how you wire your sub, not from the amp.

Ok, as long as you're aware that the colors you used are confusing... but they are in fact hooked up to the correct source... then you're good to go.

yup, as long as the wiring ont he sub looks like this:

Then you'll be putting a 2 ohm load on the amp, and since it's a mono amp, there is no way to bridge the channels, because you need a 2 channel amp that supports that feature to do so.

Be sure you have a fuse on the power wire within ~3 feet of the battery as well.

Yeah I got all of that taken care of, thanks guys.
