Well I'm local, not sure how to wire subs in or out ta phase. If I saw a configuration It wouldn't be a problem. Only thing stopping me from just trying different wiring till it sounds better is the thought of dropping my sub amp. I'll be wizzed if I blow a channel. I'm using a Sony d class amp, which has dual speaker outs. I'll check the sub config on here, I just know I would feel better before trying different doodie.

Checked the sub wiring on here, only shows series and parallel. Nothing mentioned on phasing in and out.

every wiring option given will be "in phase". if you can confirm your amps lowest stable ohm load and the ohm rating for each coil of your sub woofer, then we can help you get as close as possible to the maximum ohm load supported by your amp without overloading it. it will be one of two options, either you will series the coils, one positive from one coil and one negative from the other coil with a jumper in between from the remaining positive and negative, or parallel wiring which is basically wiring each positive and negative together. series wiring will raise the total ohm load and parallel wiring will drop the ohm load, depending on the lowest supported ohm load of your amp, one will be a better choice than the other.

I'm good with 2 ohm load on a 4 ohm speaker, meaning that I'd prefer my amp to be at a 2 ohm load. My weak point in car audio is ohm loads and crap. The rest I've got down, so using both r/l channels I'll run it normally to the box but once there can try the series and parallel. I just don't want to screw the amp up.

On one of the woofers, connect the positive wire to the negative terminal, and connect the negative wire to the positive terminal. Do this to only one of the woofers.

ok lets get this straight, are you using one sub or two? because im under the impression that you are using only one sub and IAAI seems to thin you are using 2 subs. its important to get this part straight.
