[QUOTE="RoseMarysBaby, post: 429401, member: 554348"] well just substitute the numbers. think about it this way. If you wire and of the voice coild in series which means wiring it so the negative of the first coil goes to the positve of the second coil you will add the impedance. I.E. in your case if you add two 9 ohm coils you will get a 16ohm definetly not what you want.

This way you will be conneting the two positive terminals on your woofer and the two negatives on the woofer.

So you are going to do is connect the two red terminals and two negatives together. Then run the red wire to the two bridged terminal and the one negative wire to the other side of the two birdged coils. The woofer is slighlty underpowerred so becareful of clipping.
