Sub Wiring Need Advice Quick

I looked at the diagrams for wiring 2 dual 4 ohm subs down to a nominal 1 ohm load, but my question is can i use one continous wire for the positive and one continous wire for the negative? Kinda like this

Explain how you are going to insert that wire into those each terminal without cutting it, consequently making it into seperate pieces...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

If it's those type of terminals that have the hole all the way through and all you have to do is press it down and insert the wire, it will work. He will most likely have to use a pc of 12 or 10ga wire though, because the jacket on a pc of 8ga will most likely not fit. My question is why would you want to do it that way? It seems like too much trouble to try and strip just a pc from the middle of some wire.

well actually i won't be stripping it from the middle. I'll basically be using seperate pieces. One wire to one terminal and then use another wire and put it in the same terminal and route it to the other and so on. So i'll be using seperate pieces. Would that be ok? If its not ok how would you guys suggest to wire them down to 1 ohm.

You have it right but you don't need to run one continuous pc of wire.

I know but i mean you know how it has 2 seperate pieces goin off of the one wire for the positive or negative. What i wanna do is just go from the amp positive to the 2 positives on one sub and then from the last positive on that sub to the 2 other positves on the other sub and then stop and same for the negatives.

I just wired it up. I used seperate pieces and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the help.
