I would not run a 8ohm load in your vehicle, plus that amp of yours will probably only make 100 watts @ 8ohm. You need to go with a 2ohm setup.
Just wire the subs in parrallel. + to + and - to - inside the box, then have one wire out of the box.

well how does that all play out? so is it 2 channel or 4 channel or what? a+ a- b+ b-...? im still confused about how to wire this though..like the speaker wire has 2 wires together..the + and -, and it seems like people are saying to only use one of the 2 wires that are joined together? connnfused [img]tongue.gif[/img]

OK one speaker wire means one + and one - together. If your amp can be bridged and is stable @ 2ohm wire both subs in parallel, and run one speaker wire to the amp. If it is not stable then run each coil to each channel on your amp + to + and - to -, for each sub, this will require running two speaker wires.

...as said in my first post...support your local audio shop man ...they are trained to do it..and do it right the first time...i know its nice to save some bucks by doing it yourself but man ..maybe thats what happened toyour other subs...and i don't think that it will cost a whole lot
