[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8333891, member: 658055"] I assume the part that's throwing you is there are two sets of terminals on the box. All that changes is when wiring the subs together, this now done outside the enclosure. If the subs are DVC (though the ones you linked are not) you'd wire each sub's voice coils in series or parallel within the enclose, then wires all the subs in series or parallel outside of it. With two SVC 4ohm subs you can wire the pair to 8 or 2 ohms. If there are only two terminals on the sub, wire the +s to the +s and the -s to the -s for the inernal box terminals, so you're basically just accessing the sub terminals from outside the box when they're wired up. Then to get a 2 ohm load, wire it in parallel. Both + terminals on the box get wired to the + on the amp, same with the - terminals. Whether you daisy chain the connections so there's two wires at the amp, or you wire each terminal individually so there's four from the amp, so long as all the positives are together and all the negatives are together, you should be in business. If the amp is a monoblock there's there's only one output circuit. If there are four terminals, both +s go to the same place (same for the -s); there are four for wiring convenience. [/QUOTE]
