If they weren't designed for a bandpass, then why are they in a bandpass? If a speaker is not designed for a bandpass enclosure, thay can literally be destroyed, in very short order, by putting them in one. If that enclosure wasn't given to you, and you paid to have it built, you got taken, and now it's going to cost you more to have a proper enclosure built. If you don't spend some cash to have a correct enclosure built now, you'll (potentially) tear your woofers apart, then you're looking at buying new woofers, too... So box only, now, or box and woofers later. Which is more expensive?

How can I figure which wires to hook up, I think it would be 1(+) from 1channel & 1(-) from the other channel but how do I figure out which channels (+)(-).  As far as the speakers I thought if I use the amp like this I can wire that to 1 speakers (+)(-) then jump that to the other speakers (+)(-). My problem there is that the bandpass box doesn't allow me access to the terminals. Can I just jump it on the outside of the box where the speaker wires connect to the (+)(-) terminals.

YOU CAN'T BRIDGE IT TO BOTH WOOFERS. You can, but if you parallel the voice coils i.e. amp +, to woofer 1 +, to woofer 2 +, and the same with the - side, you are briging into 2 ohms, which is the same as 1 ohm per channel, which you amp cannot handle. I explained that to you in my previous post. You CAN run amp +, to woofer 1 +, from woofer 1 -, to woofer 2 +, from woofer 2 -, back to amp -, but that is wired in series, 8 ohms, which is the SAME load as running the amplifier in stereo at 4 ohms... You are STUCK WITH 150 WATTS PER WOOFER!

No, to both. It will sound the same, either way.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
