SDC2.5 parallel at 2 ohm

The only issue I have with this is audioque uses direct connect wires to the subwoofer. Because of this, I cannot run the jumper wire between the two + a=nd - terminals(since they dont have any). To correctly run a parallel, would I run both + wires to the + terminal cup on the box and vice versa for the -? Then run it to the amp?

DVC 4ohm

If this is not the correct way to run it please explain where I went wrong.

Thanks

take the negative wire on the sub, and bring it around to the other negative, now twist those together, and attach to negative wire going to amplifier. Use electrical tape, works fine for me, and wrap it around tightly on the connection part. Do the same for positive side.

Ok thanks, I will do that. Just curious as to how the two methods would differ?

take both of the red wires on that sub, connect em together, then connect to positive amp

take both of the white wires on that sub, connect em together, then connect to negative amp

It will drop it down to 2 ohms drawing whatever your amp puts out at 2 ohm. =)
