Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if this will work.

Do not do that. You are basically putting the negative and positive together. Red and black wires are the only correct ones. That gives a final impedance of 1ohm. Leave out the blue wire.

If it is some kind of resistive wire to raise the impedance, it is still a wasteful idea. It is better to parallel each sub to each channel for a 2ohm load per channel.

And what if he wanted 4ohm? That is the correct way to run a pair of dual 4 ohm subs in series/parallel for a 4ohm final load.

Connecting all the positive and negatives together will net you 1ohm.

You can also connect both positives and negatives together at each speaker wiring the sub down to 2 ohm and then connect 1 positive pair to 1 negative pair and then connect the remaining positive and negative to the amp for a 4ohm final load. thats my preferred way to wire up to 4 ohm.

The op doesn't give any end goals but if he is bridging an amp 4ohm is likely as low as he can go

It was for if i ever wanted to buy a dayton sa1000 and hook up my dvc 4ohm subs.

Now would I ever buy it, I don't know. And if I did, it wouldn't be for 10+ years, simply because I would need a house.

LOL....WTF r u talking about, still giving your expert advice on here i see.....do you not know how to wire multiple subs?? haha

You are right. I just think running one sub per channel at 2ohms is better than bridging a 2 channel amp. Why? No idea, just feels like less stress on the amp.

Actually, yes. I could not make out the diagram clearly and said fuggit, I am not erasing that. Let smoothie poke his little head up to watch him spew bile once more. Poor creature, we must help him along that he may rid himself of pus before it poisons him.

That pic is so small, I can't really read the words

Sorry. They're to help distinguish which wires are positive or negative, but if you follow the wire, you should find out where it is.

Said amp puts out 950 watts rms at 4 ohms, so if I did buy it, it could power my 400 watt each, dual 12 sub box.

I don't think it would be safe to run 2 ohms on a 8 or 4 ohm amp.

What about the diagram infers a rwo channel amp? Just say you were wrong; it happens.

I used the Google Lens after typing my first assumption. It led me to the website where the screenshot was from.
