would it be a good idea to wire the rear speakers to the 2nd channel on my amp? or is there another way of going at it?

What is the exact model of the sub amplfier? Do not continue to wire things blindly until we can verify the amps capabilities.

woah woah , u dont wire whats shown above into one channel.

your using the xm-2200gtx amp right? the "1200" watt sony amp right?

If so you do not wire that set of subs just to one channel and leaving the other channel open free.

the positive wire from the subs to the amp is connected to the "L" channel. which is to the left

of the high level input slot.

Then you would connect the negative wire from the subs to the "R" channel of the amp. which is

to the left of the orange 40amp fuses.

But correct me if i'm wrong?

Hey mentioned about 1200 watt sony amp.

I think its the xm-2200gtx amp

If that is the amp here is a link to the specs.

Do not wire it in any other fashion than running the amp in 2 channel stereo - meaning one sub hooked up to each channel or running it in bridged mono at 8 ohms like your first diagram showed. Any other wiring method other than these on the amp that bangbang listed will result in either failure of the amp and or subs.
