sub wiring problem

So, you are telling us that each sub is wired to 2-ohms at the external terminals, yes?  If so, you simply treat them like Qty 2 X 2-ohm SVC subs and use the wiring wizard.  You can wire for either a 1-ohm or a 4-ohm load on your amp, your choice.  Then be very sure you set the gain properly.  Check the Hot Topics forum for instructions how to do that.  You only need to use one set of output terminals on your amp.  Using two is simply a waste of wire and a potential error amp-frying if you cross them up.

I was told that because the terminals on my amp were connected internally, that they are essentially the same terminal, there was no way to cross connect them. I could get positive negative wrong, I guess, but that would just switch polarity, correct?

Also, as far as the wiring on the subs: Yes, I guess they are wired like two 2ohm svc subs, but I can not just wire between them to create one ohm because the enclosure is two sealed chambers. I do not want speaker wire running back and forthe between the subs on the outside of the box, and I do not want to cut the enclosure up either. And BTW, the wiring wizard does not give you the option of choosing two 2ohm svc speakers. I think I know how to parallel them without the wizard, but not without either of the two scenarios mentioned above.

1. Have the speaker wires going from 1 enclosure terminal to the next, in parallel, and have the second terminal wired to the amp.

2. Wire one enclosure terminal to one amp terminal, and wire the other enclosure terminal to the other amp terminal -or even the same terminal the first sub is wired to.

Done.

If you have each sub wired to 2ohms, and you have the subs wired either way I described, the final impedance IS 1ohm...

So nlet me see if I understand. By having the subs wired to 2 ohms at each respective box terminal, once i combine the wires, in this case at the output terminal on the amp, the load becomes 1 ohm, yes? In the case of example #2, you are just combining the wires at the  sub box instead of at the amp.

Cool. Thank you very much for the info and patience. I am a pretty intelligent person, but jumping into this car audio world with both feet and no prior training, it can be a lot to absorb.
