wiring 2 subs w/ 2 ch. amp

[Jake]

ok i got 2 punch 15s and a dual box wher e both subs will have seperate chambers. ( there no hole in the middle.) so i cant wire them 2gether, so i just run + to + and - to - from the sub to the outlet, and do the same on the other side, right? and my amp is a 150Wx2 at a 4 ohm load, and the subs are 150 Rms. i think that would be perfect b/c i think i would have 4 ohm load for both channels. is that right? also wut size wire should i use? i mean just inside the box for wireing the subs to the outlet or wutever that thng is called. i have 16 ga. rite now but does it need to be biggfer than that? thanx

Sounds right.

16 gauge wire will work fine. 12 -10 is better. Anything between the amp and the speaker will reduce the damping factor. So to maintain a high damping factor use thick wire. And keep the amp close to the speakers.
