Wiring monoblock amplifier to 1-ohm (2 subs)

[Lennox]

So this is what I've got along with approximately 15 feet of speaker wire. Amp is Hifonics Glx1400.1D, and subs are Pioneer TS-W3003D4 (Dual 4-ohm). How do I wire these to one ohm when the box has terminals?

Every diagram I see has amp wired straight to subs and doesn't have terminals //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif.

Also each sub has a seperate chamber so wires can't go from sub to sub. Is there a way to get this wired to 1-ohm? Thanks for you help guys.

wire both of sub #1 's positives to the same positive terminal, negatives to the same negative

do the same for sub #2

and on the outside of the box, wire both terminals up to the same polarity on the amplifier (negative to negative/pos to pos

wire all the positives on the sub to the positive on the terminal and then all the positives on the terminals to positive on the amp. Do the same for the negatives

The terminals on the amplifier are wired in parallel internally, so this is easy. Wire both voice coils of a sub in parallel to that sub's terminal. Wire the terminal to the amp's outputs. Like this...

SUB1_VC1(+) wired to SUB1_VC2(+) wired to terminal(+) wired to amp(+)

SUB1_VC1(-) wired to SUB1_VC2(-) wired to terminal(-) wired to amp(-)

SUB2_VC1(+) wired to SUB2_VC2(+) wired to terminal(+) wired to amp(+)

SUB2_VC1(-) wired to SUB2_VC2(-) wired to terminal(-) wired to amp(-)

So this will run the amp at 1-ohm?

I wasn't sure because this diagram threw me off SONIC DIAGRAM

All you have to do is run 1+ and 1- from the terminals to each sub, then jump another +and- to the second voicecoil of each sub.

What you drew will work and is electrically correct and will result in a 1-ohm load on the amp. But, like CCooney said, it might be easier to jumper both VC(+)s together and then connect one wire to the terminal(+) inside the box - same for the VC(-)s. Do it just like the Sonic Diagram. Solder wires at the VCs.
