Wiring Actual Sub

[schism13 10+ year member]

Anyone have any pics where it shows you how to wire the subs? Not just parallel and series diagrams, but actual pics showing you the wire, does anything special go on the ends of the wire?What gauge wiring should I use? Any helpful sites? Thx

Use 12 guage wire, as far as connections go it really matters on what kind the sub has.

dvc 4.. so its (-)(-)(+)(+)(-)(+)..but what im saying is so to do this i need 4 seperate wires? I take 1 and put it in negative to negative..then one put it positive to positive..then another in negative and then one positive then hook that up to the amp? (btw to those talking shit, sorry but im trying to learn so i can do this on my own, and dont want to mess anything up..) So would i just go about stripping the wire and putting it in, or is there a special clip needed to hook it up..also can i wire it directly to the amp without a terminal and run it through the port? Thanks guys

run 1 wire from voicecoil 1+ to voice coil 2+

jam a wire in voicecoil 1 + and run to terminal cup
