ok..i have 2 ssd 10's. i need to wire them to my temporary amp.

both my subs are dual 1's..and i need to wire them both to a 4 ohm load to be stable to my sx600.2 until my 2000d comes back from being repaired..which diagram would i use? ive did a search and it didnt help me.

it just throws me off because my subs are dual 1's and the diagrams say 4 and 8..and i dont know much about wiring at all.

please help?

ok, gonna try to explain this. series the voice coils on each sub, then the wires that are left series those also, should be 4ohms then

Basically you want to do the second diagram, which is series. if you wire in parallel, you will get a .25ohm final load. wired in parallel, you will get a 4ohm final load.

the second diagram would give him a 1 ohm load, series everything

wire the + off one sub to the - of the other and run the 2 remaining + and - wires to the amp?

do it like that, except since you have dual 1, it would be 4 ohms
