[QUOTE="jt4x4, post: 8705123, member: 677386"] I realize this thread is old, but I'm responding anyway to correct misinformation. The definition of parallel circuitry is "connected at both ends". Meaning the voice coils are connected on their positive ends and their negative ends (the speaker terminals). It does not matter how you get to the amp's terminals from there, as long as it's positive-positive and negative-negative. If anything, cutting strands is how you DECREASE current potential, though it is likely negligible in this situation. Theoretically, you actually are better off T'ing off from the middle of the leads because then power hits both voice coils at the same time, though again, given the speed of light, this is negligible; obviously you won't hear it, so I'm merely stating physics. It is more important that your connections are solid than the way you get from A to B. I personally run a separate wire for each voice coil to the bolts that I use to transfer power through the wood. I used to mess with trying to get multiple wires under my subs' push terminals, but I was never happy with the connection. - Joe [/QUOTE]
