if they're single voice coil 4 ohm subs:

obviously the top one, FYI it's a parallel circuit.

if they are each dual voice could 4 ohm, then you can't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

they are dual how would i wire those? i dont mean to two ohms but the best way for what i have

what subs/amp?

if they're dvc 4 ohm, and you're amp is only stable down to 2 ohms you're only choice is to wire them to 4 ohms and waste half you power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

fyi it's not possible to wire both of them to a 2 ohm load

i left one set of coils with nothing on them. i just have one positive on each speaker connected and one negative on each connected then they go to my amp bridged. i dont even use the other positive and negative. What kind of problems can that cause?

i just dont have anything on one set of positive and negatives

you don't want to do that, and you don't want to wire down to 1 ohm if your amp is not 1 ohm stable.

what amp do you have? what subs do you have?

and who edited my pics? nice work, how long did that take you? i was just too lazy to cut the pics in half //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
