Glad I could be of assistance. Anything else feel free to send me a private message through the 12 volt. Hopefully within a year you are tone deaf and loving it.

Here is a diagram that would help. http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/pdfs/12w3_man.pdf You should look at the diagrams on the left that has voice coils in a series. On the back of your speakers there is a 4 post for speaker wires(2 for each voice coil) you run a wire between on black one and one red one closest to eachother, and then run the wires from your amp to the other 2 post. This will give you an 8 ohm load for one speaker. Now do the exact same thing to the other speakers, 1 wire connecting 2 post, 2 wires from amp to pos. and neg. post on the other side of the speaker. An easy way to calcualte and ohm load is this, If you have all of your speakers voice coils wired at 8 ohms in a series just divide 8 by the number of speakers you are adding. 1 sub 8 ohms, 2 subs 4 ohms, 3 subs 2.67 ohms,4 subs 2 ohms, 5 subs 1.33 ohms and so on. Same way with other impeadences. If they all are wired to 2 ohms 4 ohms, 6, 12, whatever just divide that numbe by the number of speakers you are hooking up and BAM.
