not to be a thread *****, but how do you tune your boxes to a specific hz?

man, to get a good, cheap wiring kit, go to www.sonicelectronix.com they have lots of rf and kicker stuff on there. i'm running a stinger 2guage right now, which is overkill. if i were you, i'd go with an 8guage ground and power. that should be right on the money.

Make another post for that bro.



Here's the basic wiring

If ya need help with that let me know I'll break it down as a step by step.

And no need to thank us. It's what we're here for.

k... thats much easier... so I connect both positives to the same terminal and both negatives to the same terminal...... so I bridge them both on the same terminals? like I was bridging one sub on 2 channels? the amp shows wich positive and negative to use to bridge...

First we run 1 power line from the + on the amplifier to the + on the first sub.



Next we run 1 more power line from the + on the amplifier to the other + on the second sub



Now time to run a line from the - on the amp to the - on the first sub


Now we do the same thing for the second sub



And we connect the - and the + on the first sub. Thusly raising the ohm load on this voice coil



And do the same thing on the second sub to achieve 2 ohm's

I always thought running a wire between the + and - on the speaker would short something out.... if the subs are 2 ohm subs I still have to do that? so i would basically have 3 wires on each sub...

one from + on sub to + on amp
one from - on sub to - on amp
one from + on sub to - on sub?

on both subs?
just making sure I understand this correctly

Nah doing it like that wont short something out. Cause in the first place theres no signal going through them basically.

And like he said yes 3 wires
