Wiring in Parallel

[NoExperience 10+ year member]

The guy at the hardware store told me that to wire a dvc sub in parallel to a mono amp, i need a box todo it. is this true? and if not(Which i didn't think i needed a box to do it...) how do i physically wire it? i know pos go together and all neg go together but how do i physically connect it all together, any picture(s) would be awesome help.

Heres a diagram to show what im doing if im not explaining well enough

Other than an enclosure for the speakers, no "box" is needed. Twist the wires together. Solder if you feel like it. Wire it just like the picture shows. Use multi strand 14ga or larger. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

+ to + and - to - and on one side of the sub just connect those terminals to the + and - on the amp...and regular 14 gauge speaker wire is fine
