ok so i have 2 4-ohm subs and i have a amp that is stable down to 1 ohm.........what i was wondering was what is the best way to wire it so i get the most watts to my subs. i dont really know anything about parallel and series so if u can like draw a pic or descibe to me thad be most great. Thanks!!

The lowest ohms you can get with two 4 ohm subs is 2 ohms. Wire both + terminals on the subs to + on the amp. Then wire both - terminals on the subs to the - on the amp. That will give you a parallel cct.

do you mean like have the 2 + wires combine before it gets to my amp or connect them to my amp seperatly?

Makes no difference. Use which is easier for you.

could someone draw me a pic........i feel so retarded

"Tab A" is positive wire (+) connection on speaker 1. Run a wire from the positive (+) on speaker 1 to the positive (+) on speaker 2. Run a wire from Speaker 2 positive (+) to To "Slot A" which is the Amp positive (+).

"Tab B" is negative wire (-) connection on speaker 1. Run a wire from the negative (-) on speaker 1 to the negative (-) on speaker 2. Run a wire from Speaker 2 negative (-) to To "Slot B" which is the Amp negative (-).

Does this work for you? I could draw you an actual picture but I have no place to post the drawing, sorry.....

Speaker 1+---------->Speaker 2+----------->Amp positive terminal

Speaker 1- ---------->Speaker 2- ----------->Amp negative terminal

so i actually should splice the 2 +'s and -'s before they get to the amp so there is acutally only 2 direct imputs going to the amp instead of 4? will that make it 2 ohms? is 4 imputs 4 ohms or 8? thanks a ton guys!!
