[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 4936926, member: 570419"] Most companies recommend wiring in series first because wiring two different subs in series while connected to the same amp will leave you with three connection points instead of two. Instead of just having two wires in the positive terminal and two in the negative, you have one wire in the positive, one in the negative, and then two wires twisted together outside of the amp. That loose connection could be a hazard and so they tell you to always end in a parallel connection to keep a wire from having to "float" away from the terminals. Do whatever is easier for you.
