[QUOTE="bigred78797, post: 604404, member: 545232"] why did you have to get those... those are why people say audiobahn sucks. anyway. Just to let you know those aren''t 8 terminals going different places it's only 4. Two positive and Two negative. Those subs are dual 4 ohm which im sure you already know. Your amp doesn't have 8 RCA preouts it has 4 low level inputs and 4 low level outputs. The jensen is 2 ohm stable. And here is how you would wire it, don't feel like drawing a picture so just follow me. Sub #1 positive on the subs terminal 1 to channel 1 positive on amp. negative terminal on same side of sub to the positive terminal on the other side of the sub last open terminal goes to the channel two negative on the amp Sub #2 DO THE same but with channels 3 and 4 on the amp this should give you an 8 ohm load for each of the subs and because you are running it bridged that bumps it down to a 4 ohm load. You cant get the maximum power from the sub due to the speakers configuration. You could just hook up each one of the terminals to the each of the channels but i believe there is maybe a 20w gain if wired this way. here is the other way to wire it. Sub #1 Positive on one of the subs terminals to positive on channel 1 negative on same side of sub to negative on channel 1 same with the positive and negative on opposite side of sub but to channel 2 Sub #2 same as sub #1 but with channels 3 and 4 hope that helps out. With this wiring setup you are running them at 4 ohms to each channel which again will not run the maximum power of the amp. [/QUOTE]
