Two Boxes, One Amp

[cashrules]

I have a kicker (10" 4 ohm 150w RMS) hooked up to a kicker zx400.1 amp (200W @ 4 ohms or 400W @ 2 ohms.)

Looking to add another (10" 4 ohm 150 RMS) and was wondering if hooking up another sub would be as simple as just connecting the left speaker wire to one box and the right speaker wire to the new box. Or is it more complicated than that? If it is not this simple, how would one go about using two seperate boxes and (1) one channel amp?

If this is possible, is it worth it considering the amp I have?

I don't see why you couldn't you would have to run a neg and a pos from each sub.. so 4 in total.. But thats going to give you a 4 ohm load i believe since these are not 1 ohm stable

As of right now one sub has both the left and right speaker wires. Can I just use one right speaker wire on one sub, and one left speaker wire on one sub?

that would put you at too low of an ohm load for that amp

you need to have a positive and a neg wire running from each sub, then just twist them together, or put them in the same spade terminal, depending on the amp and hook it up that way, just make sure you have both negs and both pos wires together or you will have the subs running out of phase

Wire the subs like this.
