k i know how to wire a dual 4ohm sub parallel into 2 ohm load..but how do u do this with a box with just a single cup of + and - ??? do u guys get what i mean? because i have to connect each positive of the sub into the amp and each negative to the amp..so how do u do this with that single cup of + and - ?

What I did was solder both positives on the sub to the single positive on the terminal cup. But an easier way would be to just connect the two positives on the sub, and then just run a single wire to the terminal cup from one of the positives on the sub.

yeah connect both pos, and both neg together (on the sub), then one pos to the cup, and one neg to the cup from the sub

alrite thanks guys...now i know what to do...i was thinking using the postive wire from the box and connecting it to a different wire that connects both positive..and the same for the negatives...u get what i mean...

but does it matter about the wire cuz there's usually a negative and positive..so i will be connecting one of the negative wire to the positive..will it work either way?
