Wiring down to 2ohm

As far as I can tell, this is correct, but if someone could look it over before I start soldering I'd appreciate it. I want to run at 2ohms, 250watts to each speaker.

Yes, positive's to the positive's, negative's to negative's.

now correct me if I am wrong but I believe that is how you hook up 2 svc 4ohm subs to 2 ohms

wait first off the pic looks as if he has a mono channel amp that will have 2 subs running on it each on their own channel. Second. If you hook 1 svc 4-ohm sub to 1 channel it isn’t going to go to 2 ohm. You have to treat it as if the 2 subs were 1 dvc 4-ohm sub. hook the pos of one sub to the neg of the other sub. then take the remaining pos and hook it to the pos on the amp and the remaining neg to the neg of the amp. Which will yield the 2-ohm load in 1 channel.

That's more like what I was expecting I might have to do, but hoping I wouldn't. This is my friends system I'm hooking up for him, and he has a sealed box with two terminals.

got mixed up there for a min first one was wired to 8 ohms thats the right diagram now

Wait, which one is right? The one you posted?

You are right.

Are the terminals internally paralled on the amp?

the pic that is up is right
