Wiring up these Macdaddys!

so im just about to start installing these macdaddys. ill be wiring them down to 1 ohm.. now if i have them each in their own sealed box, is there any way to getting around drilling a hole between the two to daisy chain them? or can i wire them right into the connector caps on the box? wont that meen ill have 2 wires coming from my subwoofer channel of my amp? i heard that wasnt good

you can just run both wires to the amps and put them on the same terminal thats why most mono amps have two positives and negatives

you will be fine as long as it's the correct ohm load.

yea he was saying it would mess up the ohm load...

it would look like this, accept the possotive and negative from the second sub would go to the same terminals on the amp as the other sub... he said it would make it a 2 ohm load instead of 1..., so your sure its ok?

Completely botched. Lol

It won't change the load and it is okay.

i just did my first ever install today in my 2000 dakota ext. i wired up 2 12" pioneers to a 1000w tunn amp. i think i did everything right because it works and sounds great. amp goes off when the key goes off and no smoke or flames so far. but i wired both subs into the 2 ports on the amp. i think thats what yall were talking about? and it worked fine.
