[QUOTE="plantinseeds, post: 7698475, member: 638917"] Just ignore the other set of positive and negative terminals on the amp. Take the positive from one sub and the positive from the other sub and splice them together, take the negatives and do the same thing. You should get a 1 ohm load on your DMM if you have everything wired in parallel. From there just stick them in one set of positive and negative terminals on the amp. [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42"]Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, Two 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speakers[/URL] and on the voltage calculator you should choose the "Parallel" option where it says Wiring Configuration, it should tell you 31.6 volts at 1 ohm if you did it right. There's a simple diagram on how to wire two DVC 4ohm subs to a monoblock. EDIT: Or you can take the two positives from the subwoofers and put them into the two positives of the amp, and do the same with the negatives. The amp just automatically bridges the 2 ohm loads together and creates a 1 ohm load. [/QUOTE]
